Overview:

Disruptive behaviors interfere with children’s and family functioning and predict disruptive behavior and internalizing symptoms in adulthood. This course will provide an overview of disruptive behavior disorders in youth, including Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder.

Participants will review diagnostic features, maintaining factors, and common comorbidities. Participants will learn effective structured treatments for children based on individual interventions, including problem-solving skills therapy to address negative behaviors and cognitive behavioral therapy to address maladaptive cognitions, emotional dysregulation, and negative behaviors.

Participants will also learn about coercive interaction patterns and parent-based training to modify disruptive behavior. Clinical examples and behavioral role plays will be used to help illustrate and practice effective implementation.

Objectives:

  • Identify at least two (2) common cognitive distortions in children with disruptive behavior disorders.
  • Apply at least two (2) individual CBT strategies to help reduce children’s disruptive behavior.

  • Develop effective reinforcement systems for families of children with disruptive behaviors.
