"Focusing on children aged 3 to 14 years, this book offers a brief but comprehensive overview of empirical knowledge and associated clinical information regarding Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder. It does so with respect to etiology, assessment, prevention and treatment. In reviewing the literature, the authors pay particular attention to recently published studies and meta-analyses, without neglecting older high quality studies. Written as a guide for professionals, this book is useful as a succinct overview of the field for both students and beginning researchers. It is also of value to advanced researchers, offering essential information on topics which may not be their primary focus of interest or expertise. The first edition of this book was published in 2010. Revising and updating this book was needed for several reasons. Firstly, diagnostic criteria for Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder have changed since 2013 when the DSM-5 was published. Secondly, information on the underlying neurological, psychological and environmental factors has grown rapidly. Therefore, empirical research on these factors was updated. Thirdly, many interventions studies have been published in the last years. An update of our insight into the effectiveness of evidence-based interventions therefore was needed."--Provided by publisher.
