Disruptive behavior disorders, primarily Conduct Disorder (CD) and Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), are initially described in the introduction. The supporting article places a greater emphasis on these childhood disorders, rather than similar types of adult disorders. The researchers then discussed empirically supported treatment methods and family focused programs that may be implemented when treating this client population.
