Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct

For many years, the fields of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), Conduct Disorder (CD) and aggressive and antisocial behavior, have been researched independently of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). However, the last decade has seen an integration of these research fields, essential for an accurate understanding of these disorders. Focusing on children aged 3 to 14 years, this book offers a concise and comprehensive overview of the empirical knowledge and associated clinical information on ODD and CD, covering aetiology, assessment and treatment, as well as the neurobiological factors underlying these disorders. An essential guide for professionals, researchers, and students.

Walter Matthys is Professor of Aggression in Children at Utrecht University, The Netherlands, and a clinical psychiatrist at the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, University Medical Centre, Utrecht. His research at the Rudolf Magnus Institute of Neuroscience focuses on neurobiological and psychological characteristics in children and adolescents with disruptive behaviour disorders, and the interventions to prevent and treat these disorders.

John E. Lochman is Professor and Doddridge Saxon Chairholder in Clinical Psychology at The University of Alabama, where he also directs the Center for Prevention of Youth Behavior Problems. He is Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Abnormal Child Psychology, serves on the Board for Society for Prevention Research, and is President of the American Board for Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology. His research interests are centred on risk factors, social cognition, and intervention and prevention with aggressive children.
