Speaker's Bio Testimonials  

Oppositional-Defiant Disorder in children and Conduct Disorder in adolescents -- similar disturbances at different points in development -- are difficult problems to treat, and are frustrating for therapists and parents alike. Outcome research has demonstrated that traditional therapy based on talking about feelings is an ineffective intervention for these clients, and for a long time, these common disorders were considered untreatable. ODD and CD are difficult disorders to treat because their development is due to a combination of genetic, cognitive, parenting and family systems factors. In order to be effective, therapy must address these several levels of the disturbances.

This training will review the outcome research on ODD and CD in order to identify the therapeutic techniques that have proven effective with disruptive behavior disorders. These interventions generally involve a synthesis of cognitive-behavioral, parent training and family systems approaches. The training will focus on step-by-step instruction in these techniques, including effective rules and consequences, reinforcement systems, time out, problem-solving, enhancing family communication and balancing firmness and softness in the parent-child relationship. We will discuss how to integrate research findings and clinical reasoning in treatment planning, and clinical examples from the instructor and participants will be used to illustrate how the interventions can be customized for individual clients.
