Conduct and Oppositional Problems |
|
Introduction Conduct and oppositional problems are those that interfere with a child or adolescent’s ability to learn, or to engage effectively in their environment . Such youth may engage in various behaviors deemed inappropriate, or which negatively impact their environment, such as stealing, arguing, lying, etc. These behaviors may also impede an adolescent’s or child’s ability to interact successfully in society and/or with peers. These problems may also seriously disrupt family life, and be a source of concern for parents. The two main types of disorders which cover several different problem behaviors, (i.e. aggression, lying, impulsivity, etc.), are listed below. Specific problem behaviors, such as aggression only, or disregard for rules, only, can also be addressed by many of the treatments discussed for oppositional and conduct problems. |
