Conduct Disorder01:28

Conduct Disorder

Conduct disorder is a complex mental health diagnosis characterized by a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior that violates societal norms, the rights of others, or age-appropriate rules. The diagnostic criteria for conduct disorder require the presence of at least three problematic behaviors within the past 12 months, with at least one occurring in the past six months. These behaviors are grouped into four categories: aggression toward people and animals; destruction of property;...
Introduction to Psychological Disorders01:19

Introduction to Psychological Disorders

Abnormal behavior, often referred to as mental illness, results from changes in brain function that influence thought patterns, behaviors, and social interactions. Psychologists and psychiatrists typically assess abnormal behavior using three primary criteria: deviance, maladaptation, and personal distress, particularly when these traits persist over long periods.
Deviant Behavior
Deviance in behavior refers to actions or thought patterns that significantly diverge from societal norms or...
Oppositional Defiant Disorder01:30

Oppositional Defiant Disorder

A persistent pattern of angry or irritable mood, defiant behavior, or vindictiveness characterizes Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Symptoms must occur over at least six months, involve interactions with individuals beyond siblings, and meet specific diagnostic criteria to be clinically significant. The disorder affects emotional regulation, social interactions, and behavior, often manifesting early in life and influencing long-term development and functioning.
Diagnostic Criteria and...
Personality Disorders: Paranoid and Schizoid01:22

Personality Disorders: Paranoid and Schizoid

Personality disorders represent enduring cognition, affect, and behavior patterns that significantly deviate from societal norms. These maladaptive traits often lead to difficulties in various domains, including interpersonal relationships, occupational settings, and overall psychological well-being. Paranoid personality disorder and schizoid personality disorder are two distinct conditions marked by odd or eccentric behavior.

Operant Conditioning Intervention01:24

Operant Conditioning Intervention

Operant conditioning serves as a foundational principle in therapeutic interventions aimed at modifying maladaptive behaviors. Central to this approach is the notion that behaviors, both adaptive and maladaptive, are learned through reinforcement. By analyzing the environmental factors that reinforce problematic behaviors, clinicians can design interventions to weaken these reinforcements and replace maladaptive behaviors with healthier alternatives.
In operant conditioning, behaviors that are...
Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive01:24

Personality Disorders: Dependent and Obsessive-Compulsive

Dependent personality disorder and obsessive-compulsive personality disorder are two separate psychological conditions that influence behavior, relationships, and overall life functioning. Though both involve maladaptive behaviors, their core characteristics and motivations differ significantly.
 Dependent Personality Disorder
Dependent personality disorder is characterized by an excessive reliance on others to manage various aspects of life. Individuals with this disorder often struggle with...

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Child and Adolescent Mental Health

Background:

  • Conduct disorder (CD) presents with persistent antisocial behaviors, causing significant distress to individuals, families, and society.
  • Existing clinical guidelines for CD diagnosis and treatment require updating, particularly in light of evolving diagnostic criteria.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and update diagnostic and therapeutic approaches for conduct disorder (CD).
  • To incorporate the new DSM-5 specifier for CD with a callous-unemotional (CU) presentation.
  • To evaluate various methods for subtyping aggression and CD symptoms.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of existing literature and clinical guidelines for conduct disorder.
  • Analysis of diagnostic criteria changes in the forthcoming DSM-5, including the CU specifier.
  • Discussion of evidence-based psychosocial interventions and pharmacological options for CD.

Main Results:

  • The core diagnostic criteria for CD remain unchanged in DSM-5.
  • A new specifier for CD with a callous-unemotional (CU) presentation is introduced in DSM-5.
  • Non-medical psychosocial interventions are recommended as the primary treatment for CD.

Conclusions:

  • The updated diagnostic framework for CD in DSM-5, including the CU specifier, requires careful clinical application.
  • A multi-informant, systematic approach is crucial for comprehensive CD assessment.
  • Psychosocial interventions should be prioritized, with medication considered for comorbid conditions or severe, aggressive behaviors.
