¶ … Children With Conduct Disorder
It has been suggested that the following three treatments are the most conducive for helping children who have behavior related problems: The children would all come from the same background and from the same region. They would be matched as closely as possible with parents having the same level of education and their cultures being similar too. The age level would be matched too. The children would then be randomly divided amongst the three interventions, each intervention being led by a fully credentialed professional who is able to get along with children. The interventions would occur for the duration of 2-3 months, with each group receiving the same 1 hour weekly psychotherapy. The children would be rated on an instrument before that would assess their level of behavior misconduct.
Family Therapy?
This treatment is focused towards the changes that have to be made in the family system, such as improving family interaction with the child. Peer group therapy?
In this therapy we will work to develop the social and interpersonal skills of the child. Cognitive therapy?
This therapy will help the child in improving his communication skills, and problem solving skills. Along with that it provides anger management training to the child, along with impulsive control training. I would like o conduct an experimental study that will evaluate differences in each of these groups and see whether one intervention is preferable to the other.
Methodology?
Sampling?
the method which we would use for the sampling of conduct disorder in child would be to demeanor the study of symptoms of conduct disorder in the child. It has been seen that children suffering from conduct disorder tend to be more impulsive, are hard to control, tend to break the rules without any reason, lie, behave in a cruel and annoying manner, and are not concerned with the feelings of other people (Lahey, Moffitt, & Caspi, 2003). All of this would have…

Antisocial Behavior in Females with Comorbid Diagnoses of ADHD Detention centers and residential treatment facilities are replete with male and female youth that have been in and out of the juvenile justice system for many years. Although the majority of the populations in these facilities are male, the number of female juvenile offenders is continually increasing. Many of the children in these facilities have a history of behavioral difficulties that may
treatment modalities for conduct disordered adolescent males has primarily been focused on comorbidity. Adolescent males with conduct disorder typically receive individual and family therapy, but when overt behaviors are extreme, pharmacotherapy may supplant insight-based therapy. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and social skills training are complementary approaches to intervention. Using an experimental approach, this study examines the impact of combined intervention approaches on perceived and observed improvement in the expression of
Treatment of Conduct Disorder in CBT in Combination With CBT and Fluoxetine In the first paper, this author discussed therapeutic processes (cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pharmacotherapy) which could be employed as the best practices when working with individual adolescent males between the ages of 14-16 who exhibit conduct disorder. Since the approach previously centered around individuals, it would seem to be prudent to explore what type of group treatment modes

Statement of the Problem For any individual, the death of a family member, friend, parent or sibling may often be overwhelming. For adolescents, the death of person close to them may prove much more traumatic as it can disrupt adolescent development. Diana Mahoney (2008), with the
Child Clinical Intervention Part I Child Abuse Physical abuse of children occurs throughout every social strata, although there may be an increased incidence among those living in poverty. Abuse often occurs at moments of great stress, and the perpetrator strikes out in anger at the child. The perpetrator may also have been abused as a child and may have poor impulse control. Because of the relative size and strength difference between adults
Child Aggression Aggressive behavior in children is not only disruptive of home, classroom, and social environments, it is the primary cause of peer rejection in children (Hinshaw pp). Early aggression predicts substance abuse, delinquency, and adult antisocial behavior with high sensitivity (Hinshaw pp). There are many ecological factors, social stressors, and family processes that are predictors of individual differences in aggression, and among family influences that have been linked with child aggression
