  1. Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) • Age-inappropriate, stubborn, hostile, and defiant behavior, including: • losing temper • arguing with adults • active defiance or refusal to comply • deliberately annoying others • blaming others for mistakes or misbehavior • being “touchy” or easily annoyed • anger and resentfulness • spitefulness or vindictiveness

  2. Conduct Disorder (CD) • A repetitive and persistent pattern of violating basic rights of others and/or age-appropriate societal norms or rules, including: • aggression to people and animals (e.g., bullying, threatening, fighting, using a weapon) • destruction of property (e.g., deliberate fire setting) • deceitfulness or theft (e.g., “conning” others, shoplifting, breaking into others’ property) • serious violations of rules (e.g., running away, truancy, staying out at night withoutpermission)

  3. Characteristics of Conduct Disorder • Behavioral manifestations: • Aggression • Defiance • Dimensions • Severity • Frequency • Intensity • breadth

  4. Criteria for Conduct Disorder

  5. Costs to Society • Large – see overhead • Costs for one youth over a million dollars

  6. Etiology/Risk Factors • Biological – lots of ??s • Correlations are not well understood • Psychological/Personality Factors • Perceived hostility • Accepting of aggression • Problem solving • Early temperament & learning

  7. Etiology/Risk Factors cont’ • Parents/Socialization • Lack of attention and/or inconsistency • Peers • poverty • Environmental/Situational Factors • Alcohol or drug abuse • Access to weapons • crowds

  8. Stability of Disorder • Discipline problems • Breadth of problems • Predictors: • Age of onset • Breadth of deviance • Parent characteristics

  9. Prevalence & Gender Differences • Prevalence • 2%-6% for CD • 12% for ODD • Gender differences • in childhood, antisocial behavior 3-4 times more common in boys • differences decrease/disappear by age 15 • boys remain more violence-prone throughout lifespan; girls use more indirect and relational forms of aggression

  10. Developmental Course • Earliest sign usually difficult temperament in infancy • Two Pathways • life-course-persistent (LCP) path begins at an early age and persists into adulthood • adolescent-limited (AL) path begins around puberty and ends in young adulthood (more common and less serious than LCP) • Often negative adult outcomes, especially for those on the LCP path

  11. Parenting Factors • Coercion-escalation hypothesis • Why punishment does not work for families in this pattern of interaction

  12. Causes of Conduct Problems • Genetic Influences • biologically-based traits like difficult early temperament or hyperactivity-impulsivity may predispose certain children • adoption and twin studies support genetic contribution, especially for overt behaviors • different pathways reflect the interaction between genetic and environmental risk and protective factors

  13. Treatment • 3 empirically supported treatments • Parent management training • Problem solving skills training • Multi-systemic therapy Parent-child interaction therapy also promising Limited empirical support for wilderness programs and residential treatment
