What will be an ideal response?
Ans: Reactive attachment disorder and disinhibited social engagement disorder: Both disorders develop when an infant or young child is not well cared for. RAD is characterized by a lack of responsiveness or emotion. The child does not seek comfort from traditional attachment figures and may respond to caregivers with inappropriate negative emotions. In disinhibited social engagement disorder, by contrast, a child is too willing to seek closeness and comfort and is willing to attach to total strangers.
Conduct disorder and oppositional defiant disorder: Both disorders involve angry, disruptive behavior. In conduct disorder, however, the behavior includes aggression and may entail antisocial behavior, such as destroying property and breaking the law.
Learning Objective: 5.3 Distinguish among the attachment disorders, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder and treatments.
