It's well-known that Conduct Disorder treatment is difficult, and very often not very successful. When your child is diagnosed as having Conduct Disorder (CD), what are the "Best Practices?" Where do you find help? It's not easy.
As you may know, there are two varieties. A diagnosis made before age ten is referred to as the "childhood-onset" type. (Some children begin showing signs as young as age three, or even age two.) If the child doesn't begin showing signs of CD before age ten, he or she is referred to as having "adolescent-onset" CD.
Adolescent-onset CD has a much better prognosis, and is the type to be discussed here. Adolescent-onset Conduct Disorder is diagnosed where a youngster over age 10 shows any three of these behaviors:
Aggression against people or animals
Non-aggressive destruction of property
Deceitfulness, lying, and theft
Serious violations of rules
CD is very often preceded by "Oppositional Defiance Disorder", or "ODD". Some authorities think that ODD is simply an early stage of CD, but most investigators think that there is a qualitative difference between the two, as evidenced by the aggressive and destructive aspects of CD which are much more evident than they are in ODD.
Conduct Disorder is often accompanied by ADHD, or with learning disorders like dyslexia or reading problems, or both, which really compounds the problems. Now you have an angry, defiant child exhibiting anti-social, even criminal behavior, who is failing in school, not that he seems to care. At the same time, because of his antisocial behavior, most of his peers reject him or her at exactly the time when peer relationships are most important.
Add all this to the difficult family situation, and you have a prescription for a nightmare for the teen, the school, parents and family, and society.
It's a complex disorder, and treatment usually requires that parents learn better parenting skills, that family therapy be entered into, and, often, that medication be employed, especially when ADHD is a co-existing condition, as it is about 50% of the time. None of these are simple or easy, especially in severe cases where there is little communication, and huge resistance on the part of the teenager.
Parent Management Training (PMT), is an approach that teaches parents very specific techniques and procedures designed to improve parent-child interactions. The idea is to improve inconsistent and ineffective parenting. Parents are taught to notice and reinforce positive, appropriate behaviors, while employing brief, not overly harsh, punishments and logical consequences when negative behavior crops up. If the parent(s) are willing to learn and able to utilize the concepts, they can make significant progress.
would definitely say that there s some truth to that |

Treatment for Conduct Disorder in children?
I was looking for different types of treatment for kids who have conduct disorder but the only ones that come up are parent management training (PMT) which I know a lot about. Are there any other forms of treatment that have been proposed?This condition is not in my area of expertise but from my training I understand that management of this condition is behavioural/reinforcement orientated. The reason for this is complex but the crux of it is that personality disorders are innate aspect of one s psyche and are therefore incurable." I am really sorry as it would be the most stressful mental condition I could imagine (I d rather be a depressed or schizophrenic as medication does wonders due to the fact that the cause is neurological/chemical). All we can hope is hopefully there will be new developments for you into the future.

Mental Health WorkerI know there is a video out there on conduct disorder or similar named "The Trouble with Timmy" or similar?
I distinctly can t remember the name of the subject, but it was shown during one of my bachelor child development courses and was based off of the video diaries of a family seeking treatment for their adolescent son. The video included scenes filmed during everyday life in the dining room, and video diaries "confessionals" of the individual family members.I believe the topic was conduct disorder, but may have been anything in the antisocial behavior diagnosis. I specifically remember that there was a younger daughter in the family, who suffered some hearing problems; the other scene that stands out to me is the mother standing her son on a chair so he can berate her, after she falsely berated him believing he had broken into their room and stole change.
Partially it s driving me nuts I can t remember the name of the video; partially I d like to learn how to get a copy for my own study, if possible.
I m quite sure there is an episode of South Park with the same name. Unhelpful answer i know!
Oppositional Defiance Disorder?
Okay, I am fifteen years old and I think I have either O.D.D. or conduct disorder. Is there anywhere i can go to get treatment for this in the DFW area, or do i just learn to deal with this? it has become somewhat of an annoyance and I would like to help myself in order to better myself. my parents probably won t believe me if I explain the problem to them. any suggestions?Talk to your parents, and show them the research you ve done that brought you to your conclusion to let them know you re serious. Then try and go to the doctor, talk to him/her about your suspicions, see if they agree/disagree and go from there. I wish you the best! :)
