Child Behavior Checklist

The Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), developed by Thomas Achenbach and Leslie Rescorla and updated in 2009, is a parent-completed behavioral rating scale assessing emotional and behavioral problems in children aged 6–18 years. It is a foundational tool in clinical child psychology and psychiatry for screening behavioral/emotional disorders, monitoring treatment response, and research on psychopathology.
