“…There is therefore also evidence in this case which mostly confirms the hypothesis that was set. We must conclude that the new CD LPE specifier is important for the early identification of young people at potential high risk and for the rigorous assessment of young people who have already come into contact with the judicial system, thus helping to identify unique etiological pathways in the development of antisocial behavior and promoting an empirically grounded basis to guide interventions (Frick & White, 2008;Kotler & McMahon, 2005).…”

The aim of the present study was to analyze the relevance of the DSM-5's Conduct Disorder new Limited Prosocial Emotions (CD LPE) specifier in incarcerated juvenile delinquents. A sample of 201 males and 98 females from the Juvenile Detention Centers managed by the Portuguese Ministry of Justice diagnosed with Conduct Disorder (CD) was used. Results showed that male juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU), general psychopathic traits, psychopathy taxon membership, self-reported delinquency, and crime seriousness, and lower on prosocial behavior and social desirability, while female juvenile delinquents with the CD LPE specifier scored higher on callous-unemotional traits (CU) and general psychopathic traits, and lower on prosocial behavior. Significant associations for both genders were found between the CD LPE specifier and age of crime onset and first problems with the law

“…Finally, higher levels of psychopathic traits in adolescence predict violent recidivism (11). However, the appropriateness and validity of psychopathy in adolescents is a contentious issue and its application to adolescents is a relatively new area (12).…”

Conduct disorder (CD) is a disorder of childhood and adolescence defined by rule breaking, aggressive and destructive behaviors. For some individuals, CD signals the beginning of a lifelong persistent pattern of antisocial behavior (antisocial personality disorder (ASPD)), while for other people these behaviors either desist or persist at a sub-clinical level. It has generally been accepted that about 40% of individuals with CD persist. This study examined the rate of persistence of DSM-IV CD into ASPD and the utility of individual DSM-IV CD symptom criteria for predicting this progression. We used the nationally representative sample from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). Approximately 75% of those with CD also met criteria for ASPD. Individual CD criteria differentially predicted severity and persistence of antisocial behavior with victim-oriented, aggressive behaviors generally being more predictive of persistence. Contrary to previous estimates, progression from CD to ASPD was the norm and not the exception in this sample. Relationships between individual DSM-IV CD symptom criteria and persistent antisocial outcomes are discussed. These findings may be relevant to the development of DSM-V.

“…A atenção a estes jovens e a preocupação com a sua avaliação justifi ca-se pela necessidade de deteção precoce, de prevenção e intervenção posterior, no sentido de evitar trajetórias inadaptativas (Frick, 2004;Frick & Viding, 2009) ou cascatas desenvolvimentistas em que se acumulem e potenciem difi culdades ao longo do tempo. Até porque os padrões sintomáticos de alterações comportamentais podem apresentar evoluções negativas para situações que comprometam de forma irreversível a saúde pessoal ou ainda para perturbações de natureza antissocial e/ou de mesmo psicopática, que têm o seu início em períodos anteriores e muito precoces do desenvolvimento (Frick, 2009;Gacono & Hughes, 2004;Kotler & McMahon, 2005).…”

ResumoNeste estudo transversal analisámos a relação entre os comportamentos problema ao nível da indisciplina, desrespeito e confl ituosidade dos adolescentes, em contexto escolar, e a personalidade e a psicopatologia, operacionalizadas nas dimensões PSY-5 do MMPI-A. Participaram no estudo 351 estudantes do 9º ao 12º ano, com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 18 anos, distribuídos em três grupos diferentes, de acordo com o reporte da frequência de comportamentos problema. Os instrumentos foram a versão experimental portuguesa do MMPI-A e um questionário sobre diferentes dimensões do percurso escolar, em que se incluem os comportamentos problema. Através de análise estatística multivariada, verifi cámos diferenças signifi cativas entre os grupos nas dimensões PSY-5, num padrão em que o grupo de maior frequência de comportamentos problema apresenta resultados superiores no MMPI-A. Os resultados são interpretados numa perspetiva que sublinha a relevância da personalidade na adaptação à vida escolar, bem como a importância da existência de técnicas de avaliação psicológica de forma a detetar, em contexto de normalidade, estudantes em risco de desenvolvimento de trajetórias inadaptativas. Palavras-chave: Personalidade, ajustamento escolar, externalização, MMPI-A. AbstractIn this cross-sectional study we analyzed the relationship between problem behaviors in school context, such as indiscipline, disrespect or confl ictuality, and personality and psychopathology, which were operationalized in the PSY-5 dimensions of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory--Adolescent (MMPI-A). Participants were 351 students from 9 th to 12 th grades, aged from 14 to 18 years old, and distributed in three different groups, according to their report of problem behavior frequency. Instruments were the Portuguese experimental version of the MMPI-A and a questionnaire on several school dimensions, including problem behaviors. Multivariate statistical analysis of variance indicates signifi cant differences between the groups in PSY-5 dimensions, in a pattern in which the group presenting the highest frequency of problem behaviors has higher results in the MMPI-A. Results are interpreted under a perspective that underlines the importance of personality in the comprehension of adaptation to school, as well as the relevance of psychological assessment techniques that make possible to detect, within normality contexts, students at risk of developing non-adaptive developmental pathways. Keywords: Personality, school adjustment, externalization, MMPI-A.Os padrões de comportamento, particularmente a existência de perturbações, correspondem a um marcador relevante da adaptação à escola e do sucesso académico, pelo que devem ser considerados quando analisamos o percurso escolar (Carvalho & Novo, 2010). Os comportamentos problema dos estudantes podem expressar-se em diversas categorias, como o comportamento antissocial, problemas de conduta e perturbações de oposição ou
