Abstract: Recent research on the disruptive behavior disorders – ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder and conduct disorder - has led to new perspectives and new understandings of the course and outcomes of the disorders from early childhood into adulthood. In particular, evidence for distinct dimensions within the diagnostic constructs has highlighted important prognostic information, has generated new or modified treatment efforts and has led to substantial nosological changes. This review highlights relevant findings and applications of this research in order to illustrate current gaps and next steps, to stimulate collaborative thinking, and to describe interesting challenges to conducting this research.
The remaining colloquium schedule is listed below. All talks will take place at 3:30pm on Wednesday's unless otherwise noted. The mode (online/in-person) of each talk may differ, please see future email announcements.
