The Bibliography of Published Studies Using the Achenbach System of Empirically Based Assessment (ASEBA) lists over 6,500 publications (on 485 topics by some 9,000 authors from over 80 cultural groups and societies) 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 online, the Bibliography is updated frequently, with approximately 300-400 new publications being added annually in recent years.
