Conduct and Oppositional Defiant Disorders

Abstract

In DSM-N ( 1994), Conduct Disorder has been defined as a repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior of a person in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated. These behaviors are further grouped into four categories: (a) aggression to people and animals, (b) destruction of property, (c) deceitfulness or theft, and (d) serious violation of rules. The disturbance in behavior must cause clinically significant impairment in social, academic, or occupational functioning. Conduct disorder is divided into childhood-onset type and adolescent type. Conduct disorder can be further specified as mild, moderate, or severe depending upon the severity of conduct problems.
