As reflected in the title, the purpose of this book is to guide
clinicians in understanding and treating youth with severe
antisocial behavior. Children and adolescents with conduct
disorders operate at quite a high cost to society. In many opinion
polls, juvenile crime and violence is rated as one of the most
pressing concerns for many in our society. This widespread concern
has prompted professionals from many disciplines to search for more
effective interventions to prevent and treat youth with such
disorders. This book is my attempt to summarize the current status
of this very important endeavor. In providing this guide to
clinicians, I have attempted to emphasize the critical link between
understanding the clinical presentation, course, and causes of
conduct disorders and designing effective interventions for
children and adolescents with these disorders. Many past books,
book chapters, and review articles have emphasized one or the other
of these objectives. Some have provided excellent summaries of the
vast amount of research on youth with conduct disorders without
explicitly and clearly describing the clinical applica tions of
this research. Others have focused on the implementation of
specific interventions for youth with conduct disorders that is
divorced from a basic understanding of the many diverse and
clinically important characteristics of this population. The
overriding theme of this book is that successful clinical inter
vention requires an integration of both bodies of knowledge."
