Outcomes and Methodological Issues Relating to Treatment of Antisocial Children

  • Chapter
Handbook of Effective Psychotherapy

Part of the book series: The Plenum Behavior Therapy Series ((PBTS))

Abstract

This chapter is divided into four main sections. The introduction covers a very brief history of the first organized efforts to treat children’s problems. It also includes information from epidemiological studies of conduct disorders in children. The second section consists of a summary of two of the primary theories that currently inform the majority of the treatment and prevention studies for antisocial children. These include parent training therapy and variants of social skills training that may emphasize a variety of skill deficits ranging from poor peer relations to anger control and deficits in cognitive processes.
