The Bibliography of Published Studies Using the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) lists over 6,500 publications (on 485 topics by some 12,000 authors from over 70 cultures) that report use of ASEBA materials. The publications are listed according to topics such as Abuse, Aggression, Anxiety, Attention Deficits, Depression, Diagnosis, Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, Hispanic, Multiple Informants, Psychotherapy, School Behavior, and Special Education. Available from us on a CD-ROM, the Bibliography is updated annually, with approximately 300-400 new publications being added annually in recent years.

To highlight key findings and issues, we periodically summarize important studies and post them here. We also include papers presenting new information from ASEBA.
