Summary

Editor's note

This chapter refers to both oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder under the broader term of Conduct Problems. The chapter reveals that many interventions have been shown to be effective in this group of patients, and even in some instances for the effectiveness to last long after the intervention has ended. Interventions that focus on parent training or on family interventions have been shown to have positive impact. These interventions are effective if delivered to the individual parents or families or to groups of parents or families. Psychopharmacology for this group of patients is used much more readily in the USA than in the UK, and effectiveness has been shown for the psychostimulants, clonidine and risperidone. As always, the care needs to be individualized. The authors lament the fact that, while there is a very great need for interventions among this diagnostic population, the availability of the psychosocial interventions is quite limited in both the UK and USA.

Introduction

Conduct disorder (CD) is characterized by persisting, inappropriate and severe antisocial behaviour. In ICD 10, CD is an overarching term that includes oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) as a milder subtype typically found in younger children and CD as more severe form found in older youths. In DSM IV, they are classified as separate disorders. ODD and CD are the most common reasons for referral for psychiatric care for boys (Meltzer et al., 2003).
