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.
