Treatment of Antisocial Behavior in Children: Current Status and Future Directions

Treatment of Antisocial Behavior in Children: Current Status and Future Directions Antisocial behavior in children represents a serious and pervasive clinical problem. To date, progress in identifying effective treatments has been relatively slow. The purpose of the present article is to characterize the current status of treatment for antisocial child behavior, to identify promising approaches based on contemporary outcome research, and to note limitations and emergent methodological issues. A central purpose is to identify alternative models of treatment application and evaluation, including the high-strength intervention, amenability-to-treatment, broad-based treatment, and chronic-disease models. These models are designed to integrate findings regarding characteristics and prognosis of antisocial behavior with outcome research and to accelerate the identification and development of effective treatments. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Psychological Bulletin American Psychological Association

Abstract

Antisocial behavior in children represents a serious and pervasive clinical problem. To date, progress in identifying effective treatments has been relatively slow. The purpose of the present article is to characterize the current status of treatment for antisocial child behavior, to identify promising approaches based on contemporary outcome research, and to note limitations and emergent methodological issues. A central purpose is to identify alternative models of treatment application and evaluation, including the high-strength intervention, amenability-to-treatment, broad-based treatment, and chronic-disease models. These models are designed to integrate findings regarding characteristics and prognosis of antisocial behavior with outcome research and to accelerate the identification and development of effective treatments.
