Disruptive, Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders (DIC): Evidence-Based Treatment Techniques
Crystal Lockett-Thomas, LPC, BC-TMH, NCC
- Recorded Webinar
Overview:
This group of disorders can cause individuals to behave aggressively with explosive anger directed to other people or property. Controlling emotions and following rules or laws are common problems for people with these diagnoses. Approximately 6% of children have one of these disorders. These diagnoses are more common in males than females and often begin in childhood or adolescence. While the exact cause is not well understood, individuals with these disorders have often experienced harsh parenting, physical or sexual abuse, or parents who had addiction issues or problems with law enforcement. The explosive behaviors tend to occur frequently, across different situations and settings, and can cause significant impairment in the individual’s daily functioning, schooling or work, and in their relationships.
