Abstract

This paper discusses conduct disorder-312.8x (F91.x) as a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) Axis 1 condition from an applied behavior analytic perspective. It explores the definition, development, causes, consequences, and coexisting conditions of conduct disorder. The paper also reviews a theoretical intervention treatment approach that utilizes parent management training (PMT) to support the view that if conduct disorder is diagnosed early, the child can live a “normal” life, especially with appropriate parental training and support. This intervention utilizes an applied behavior analytic perspective to provide training that targets socially unacceptable behavior, parent buy-in, and parental willingness to learn and use parent management training.
