Abstract
Objective:
To provide a synopsis of treatment programs for conduct-disordered children in Canada.
Method:
Five groups of authors from British Columbia, Ontario, Quebec, and New Brunswick describe their approaches to the treatment of children with conduct disorder.
Results:
All programs emphasize the needs to use multimodal treatment schemes, including day and short-term residential care, and to base programs on identified factors associated with the development of conduct disorder.
Conclusion:
Specific forms of treatment of conduct disorder are promising but are often hampered by social and political agendas.
