Abstract

To get a reliable diagnostic of the anxiety disorders (anxieties, fears and phobias) at preschool age and a/so to obtain a most reliable and complete evaluation of the altered symptoms and behaviors, is one of the key objectives in the infantil-youtleful mental health. Nevertheless, the evaluation of this kind of alterations is based on an recent investigation where al! the suita­ble instruments are revised in arder to classify and eva­luate one of the most frequent disorders in kids aged fi·om three to six.
Sorne of the questionnaires, sea/es and inventaries are of specific interest far the evaluation process, and in tf¡is period, they have as a common denominator to distin­guish between the simple evolutionqry characteristics at preschooler stage and those ones that are considered to be a risk far the disturbance. Since most of the anxiety disor­ders at the preschool age are occasionally, it is necessary to use dijeren/ kinds of evaluation. The picking up of the information by different resources, gives more reliability to the diagnostic process an at the same time allows to get a general view of the origin of the mentioned disorders.
The main objective of the present investigation is to verify that the available instruments are extreme/y gene­ric, so they don't always allow us to gel a differential diagnostic of anxiety disorders.
