Aggression and Antisocial
Behavior in Children and Adolescents
Research and Treatment
Daniel F. Connor
Foreword by Russell A. Barkley |
 |
This comprehensive volume reviews and
synthesizes a vast body of knowledge on maladaptive aggression and antisocial behavior in
youth. Written from a clinical-developmental perspective, and integrating theory and
research from diverse fields, the book examines the origins, development, outcomes, and
treatment of this serious problem in contemporary society. Major topics addressed include
the types and prevalence of aggressive and antisocial behavior; the interplay among
neuropsychiatric, psychosocial, and neurobiological processes in etiology; known risk and
protective factors; gender variables; and why and how some children "grow out
of" conduct disturbances. Chapters also discuss current approaches to clinical
assessment and diagnosis and review the evidence for widely used psychosocial and
pharmacological interventions.
