Compare and contrast the categorization and the criteria for diagnosis of childhood-onset type and adolescent-onset type conduct disorders.
What will be an ideal response?
Childhood-onset and adolescent-onset types of conduct disorder compare in their categorization. They are both subcategories of Cluster A type disorders and they are both types of conduct disorders that violate society's norms. Additionally, they both have an additional category called "with a callous-unemotional presentation" to separate this type of presentation from presentations that show remorse about their behavior. They contrast in their criteria for diagnoses because childhood-onset type must show at least one criterion characteristic of conduct disorder prior to age 10, while adolescent-onset type must show the absence of any criteria characteristic of conduct disorder prior to age 10.
