Discuss the origins and treatment of conduct disorders.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. Conduct disorders may have a genetic component (Kendler et al., 2013). Other contributors include antisocial family members, deviant peers, inconsistent discipline, parental insensitivity to the child's behavior, physical punishment, and family stress (Wu et al., 2015).The treatment of conduct disorders is challenging, but it seems that cognitive-behavioral techniques involving parent training hold promise (Graham & Reynolds, 2013). Children profit from interventions in which there are consequences (such as time-outs) for unacceptable behavior and positive social behavior is rewarded. One method teaches children social skills and problem solving skills to manage interpersonal conflicts (Burke & Loeber, 2016). Social skills include asking other children to stop annoying behavior rather than hitting them. Children are also taught to "stop and think" before engaging in aggressive behavior.
