Classification of the Disruptive Behavior Disorders

Psychometric Evaluation of the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV Childhood Diagnoses (KID-SCID)

“…Also, it is notable that children with higher ratings of ODD criteria reported higher general delinquency, but a higher number of ODD criteria was not significantly associated with serious aggressive crimes as measured by the index offences scale. This finding is consistent with the literature showing that conduct disorder and ODD are discrete constructs, and that ODD is associated with younger children which possibly progresses into CD and a more severe behavioral profile at later ages (Quay, 1999). In summary, good support for convergent validity of the Disruptive Behavior Disorders scales of the KID-SCID was found that also is consistent with major themes in the literature.…”

Continuity of aggressive antisocial behavior from childhood to adulthood: The question of phenotype definition

“…Handsearches according to the reference lists of the most important textbooks on the field (Stoff, Breiling & Maser, 1997;Patrick, 2006;Quay & Hogan, 1999;Lahey, Moffitt, & Caspi, 2003) were also performed to identify studies published in non-indexed sources.…”

Oppositional defiant disorder: A systematic review of evidence of intervention effectiveness

“…For example, according to the Surgeon General's report on mental health, approximately 20% of 9 to 17 year olds in the United States have a diagnosable mental disorder, including addictive disorders, accompanied by some level of impairment (U. S. Public Health Service 1999). An estimated 75% of the mental disorders diagnosed among children and adolescents fall into the category of disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) (Quay 1999). Disruptive behavior disorders include attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD), the latter two of which are characterized by antisocial behaviors such as defiance and hostility towards authority figures, fighting, bullying, sexual coercion, and cruelty to animals or people (Kenny 2000).…”
