Abstract

Etiology is defined as "the study of causes or origins." The definition specifically refers to causes and origins, plural. Determining the etiology of a disorder is not simplistic or easy. Examining the etiology of a disorder, specifically from a developmental perspective, becomes even more complex. Through the developmental lens, etiology is best considered a process. The pathology affecting an individual is the end result not of one event or one factor but instead of several factors and events transacting with one another in very specific ways. oppositional defiant disorder (odd) is characterized by a behavior pattern that is negative and hostile. The individual diagnosed with this disorder is often spiteful or vindictive, is unable to control his/her temper, and refuses to comply with the rules and requests of authority figures.
