Study Notes
Conduct Problems in Children and Adolescents
- Conduct problems are a concern for caregivers and authority figures; they disrupt relationships with parents and teachers.
- Actions that violate societal standards and the rights of others.
- These actions negatively affect a child's behavioral and socio-emotional development.
- This increases the risk of interpersonal and occupational problems.
- An alarming 50% of children referred for mental health treatment also suffer from conduct problems.
Types of Conduct Problems
- DSM-5 categorizes conduct problems into three types:
- Conduct disorder
- Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD)
- Intermittent explosive disorder (IED).
Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD)
- Characterized by a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness.
- Symptoms must last for at least 6 months and occur during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling.
- Angry/irritable mood: often loses temper, is often touchy or easily annoyed, is often angry and resentful
- Argumentative/defiant behavior: often argues with authority figures, actively defies or refuses to comply with requests, often deliberately annoys others, often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior
- Vindictiveness: has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months.
- The disturbance negatively affects the individual and others, impacting social, educational, occupational and other important areas of life.
- The behaviors do not occur exclusively during the course of a psychotic, substance use, depressive, or bipolar disorder.
Distinction with Normative Child Behavior
- Developmental increases in oppositional and defiant behavior during toddler and preschool age are generally normal.
- Two categories of clinically significant behaviors are:
- Number and frequency of disruptive behaviors.
- A child's overall developmental context.
- Children with ODD display significantly more problematic behaviors and with greater frequency than children without it.
Diagnostic Criteria for Oppositional Defiant Disorder
-
A pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months.
-
Symptoms must occur during interaction with at least one individual who is not a sibling.
-
Examples of symptoms
- Angry/Irritable mood: Often loses temper, Is often touchy or easily annoyed. Is often angry and resentful.
- Argumentative/Defiant behavior: Often argues with authority figures, Actively defies or refuses to comply with requests from authority figures or with rules. Often blames others for his or her mistakes or misbehavior.
- Vindictiveness: Has been spiteful or vindictive at least twice within the past 6 months.
-
The behaviors negatively impact the individual or others in the immediate social context.
-
The behaviors do not occur exclusively during the course of a psychotic, substance use, depressive, or bipolar disorder.
Diagnosis
- DSM-5 guidelines are for determining whether disruptive symptoms are recurrent enough in children to merit a diagnosis.
- Most ODD symptoms occur daily in preschoolers and weekly in adolescents.
- Children must have displayed mean, oppositional behavioral problems or vindictiveness for 6 months for a diagnosis of ODD
- Elevated nor-mreferenced behavioral ratings beyond 93rd and 95th percentiles signify severe symptoms.
- ODD symptoms: anger/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, and vindictiveness. differentiate between the three types of symptoms.
- Factors may contribute to problems
- Angry/irritable mood: Predicts depression
- Argumentative/defiant behavior: Usually consistent with comorbid ADHD.
- Vindictiveness: May arise in conduct problems
- Symptoms that occur in one setting may still qualify for ODD.
Conduct Disorder (CD)
- Characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of violating the rights of others or societal norms.
- At least three of fifteen criteria must be present in the past 12 months, with one present in the past six months.
Aggression to people or animals Characterized by:
-
Bullying, threatening, intimidating others
-
Initiating fights
-
Using weapons to harm others
-
Physical cruelty towards people or animals
-

-
Truancy (skipping school)
-

Intermittent Explosive Disorder (IED)
- A DSM-5 disorder characterized by repeated angry outbursts.
- Outbursts result in verbal and/or physical aggression.
- Recurrent behavioral outbursts, at least one involving property damage or physical aggression.
- Outbursts are out of proportion to the provocation.
- Outbursts are not planned or premeditated.
- Aggression causes significant distress or impairment in functioning, or has legal implications
- Occurring at least 6 years old
- Not caused by other mental disorders, or attributed to medical conditions or substance use.
Case Study: Davidson or Lucas
- Case Studies often highlight specific examples of conduct disorders
- Examples include common behaviors, and parent interactions.
- Data collected and analyzed.
- Potential interventions to discuss
What Works, What Doesn't
- Effective interventions for conduct disorders frequently involve families and diverse approaches, not just one intervention.
Treatment Methods
- Parent Management Training (PMT)
- Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT)
- Video-taped modeling (Incredible years)
- Problem-solving skills training (PSST)
- Aggression Replacement Training (ART)
- Multisystemic therapy (MST).
- Medication (methylphenidate or risperidone)
Prevalence
- Specific prevalences for ODD, CD, and IED in boys and girls. Detailed data based on a variety of sources and study findings may be presented.
Associated Disorders
- Co-occurring mental health disorders like ADHD, depression and substance abuse may be associated with conduct problems.
Causes
- Genetic factors (40-50% of the variance)
- Shared environment factors
- Difficult temperament & emotional regulation problems
- Hostile parenting behavior
- Low parental monitoring
- Parent's cognitions & mental health
- Peers & neighborhoods (selective affiliation, deviancy training, lack of resources, inadequate supervision, high crime)
- Physiological underarousal and punishment insensitivity, which influences children's behavior, and response to learning consequences.
