Abstract
Noncompliance accounts for the majority of referrals to psychologists in the US, and psychologists tend to put more emphasis on information provided by parents rather than their children. However, parents’ perception of noncompliance in their children is influenced by their personal notions of how a child should ideally behave, as well as their expectations of their children’s behaviour. Clinical complexity associated with diagnosis of disorders related noncompliance and the biased perception by parents, may lead to misdiagnosis of ODD and CD amongst adolescents.
