Oppositional Defiant Disorder In Jacob's Case

My rationale for writing this paper is to know what oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is and its effect on age, gender, and concurring behaviors (comorbidity) like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and conduct disorder (CD). How these conditions are affected in getting the proper diagnosis and treatment for ODD. Loeber, Burke, and Pardini reported in clinical groups among children, ODD is listed as one of the most commonly known behavioral disorders (as cited in Kazdin, 1995). Stringaris and Goodman (2009) found ODD is apparently very important among adolescents because of its strong connection with a large assortment of fully developed mental health disorders such as (as cited by Kim-Cohen et all., 2003,

In his article, “Is Your Child Becoming a Psychopath?” Michael Schroeder explains what conduct disorder is by stating, “‘A child who has a diagnosis of conduct disorder may be showing… aggression towards other people - for instance, being a bully, threatening or intimidating other, engaging in physical fights,’ [Dr. Jeffrey Borenstein] says. ‘It could be using a weapon to cause or that could cause harm to another person, being cruel to other people or to animals, stealing, destruction of property and often lying - those would be some of the types of things that would be a warning sign for a parent’” (Schroeder). Conduct disorder is types of antisocial behavior that often appear in children and adolescence.

Jayden King Jr. is a seven-year-old boy who was diagnosed as emotionally disturbed in 2014. Jayden requires a 1:1 crisis paraprofessional because he exhibits an inappropriate and disruptive behavior on a daily basis. Based on the Antecedent-Behavioral-Consequence Chart, there were several noted incidences where Jayden has had tantrums, was non-compliant, wandering and physically abusive. When redirected, Jayden will make loud vocalizations, kicking, screaming and throwing himself on the floor. The behavior that will be targeted for remediation is his defiant behavior. Defiance is defined as the refusal to obey and follow a directive of someone of authority or opposing force. The apparent triggers that affect Jayden’s

As for Reactive Attachment Disorder, he rarely seeks comfort. If he comes to the partial room, it is usually to avoid something else. He does not like talking about his feelings or even his day that often. He will joke around with you, but it is like pulling teeth to have him be serious and talk about serious issues appropriately. He has only had one foster family, but he has tried to contact his biological mother and she turned him down. He does not like to get too close to anyone. He will start to back away if he feels relationships are getting too close for comfort. He is a very sociable child. He likes to talk and he will tell you he likes drama, but there is no emotional connection. He could cut his friends without thinking twice about it. He is also very mean to some of his nicer friends. He is very back and forth with relationships. He does not want the attention when it is being given, but as soon as you go to walk away and not pay attention anymore, then he wants your help again and will start working on his assignments. He is an attention seeker. It bothers him if you walk away or use planned ignoring with him. Usually he will go back to class

I have observed and personally experienced my nephew display a number of behavioral issues discussed in class this week. At times, his behavior shows signs that he may suffer from the emotional and behavioral disorders because his behavior is extreme and chronic at times, but at other times his behavior shows signs that he may suffer from conduct disorder because he is often aggressive, disruptive, and display covert antisocial acts. His acts involve compulsive lying, stealing, property damage, and running away from home. He has even gone as far as to hang himself on his bedroom door. It was just after he had got in trouble by his mother for something, I cannot remember exactly what it was he did, but his mother sent him to his room and that

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is fairly prevalent, affecting 2-16% of children, with more boys affected than girls (WebMD, 2015). The disorder can occur in the teen years, with typical onset after the age of 8, but when age 18 is reached, other disorders such as Antisocial Personality Disorder are explored as a possibility

According to Ross Greene (2002), Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is defined as “recurrent pattern of developmentally inappropirate levels of negativistic, defiant, disobedient, and hostile behavior toward authority figures” (p. 1214). Children who are diagnosed with this disorder rebel against most authority and the rules that are set in place. The child will be: quick to throw tantrums, actively and verbally fight with people older than them, disregard any orders or guidelines to be followed, knowingly bother others and their personality may showcase a lot of hate or bitterness. A lot of the times, the child may only misbehave in their homes and show aggression towards their family, while other times, the disorder may develop into a

The book for the class will become a starting point for talking about Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or ODD. Whitbourne and Halgin define that ODD describes children and adolescents who display angry or irritable moods, possess argumentative or defiant behavior and has vindictiveness that results in significant family or school problems (p. 249). Individuals who suffer from ODD can also be seen having these traits: they can easily and repeatedly lose their tempers, refuse orders and requests from others, and they will be deliberately trying to annoy other people around them. On key factor that individuals with ODD hold, is that they will try to blame others for their own behaviors and want other people to see them as a victim rather than the perpetrator.

Disruptive Behavior Disorders. Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), conduct disorder (CD), and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) form a cluster of childhood disorders considered to be “disruptive behavior disorders” (American Psychiatric Association, 2004). Although most violent adolescents have more than one mental disorder and they may have internalizing disorders, for example depression or substance abuse, there appear to be increasingly higher rates of physical aggression found in these adolescents who experience disruptive behavior disorders than for those with other mental disorders. The fact that violent juvenile offenders are more likely to have these diagnoses is not surprising, because impulsive and/or aggressive behaviors are part of their diagnostic criteria. Additionally, there is relatively high co-morbidity with substance abuse disorders, which are also associated with juvenile violence (Moeller, 2001). Individuals with conduct disorder have the following features but this list is not inclusive for example they may have little empathy and little concern for the feelings, wishes, and wellbeing of others, respond with aggression, may be callous and lack appropriate feelings of guilt re remorse, self-esteem may be low despite a projected

This experimental study will have two groups of participants. Participants will need to be professionally diagnosed with Oppositional Defiant Disorder and have had persistent symptoms for a period of at least 6 months before the study takes place. Also, participants must be between the ages of 6 and 15 at the time that the study takes place. There will be a total of 100 participants. Since, there was no found standard treatment method used to treat patients with ODD, only a waitlist group and DBT group will be used. Of these 100, 50 will be placed into a DBT group while the remaining 50 will be placed on a waitlist to serve as a control group. After all of the DBT groups have been completed, those on the waitlist will receive DBT.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder is a serious condition which educators need to know how to address for the safety of the student, the other students and teacher. In the case of Jack, the situation has become extremely serious for everyone involves which makes it extremely important for educators to have a rich understanding of the behaviors, risk factors, and potential training supports associated with ODD.

According to the DSM-III, APA, 1980 (as cited in Hiripi, Karzdin, Kessler & Nock, 2007) the history of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) was first described in the 1980 version of the DSM-III as an onset disorder in childhood and adolescence. Currently Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) is found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition (DSM-5) and is described as “a pattern of angry/irritable mood, argumentative/defiant behavior, or vindictiveness lasting at least 6 months” (APA, 2013, pg. 462). In order to meet the diagnostic criteria as described four the above symptoms need to be present. The current version of the DSM-5 lists ODD as a disruptive, impulse-control and conduct disorder (APA,

Antisocial personality disorder (ASPD), opposition defiant disorder (ODD), and conduct disorder (CD) are three distinct disorders based upon their respective diagnostic criteria in the DSM-5. If ODD and CD were mild forms of ASPD, then there would need to be causal relationship between the childhood manifestations of ODD and CD and the adult manifestation of ASPD. There is evidence of comorbidity between ODD and CD, and also evidence to suggest that children diagnosed with these disorders may go on to develop ASPD later in life; however, correlation does not equal causation. The three disorders have subtle but important differences in their associated behaviors, underlying causes, treatment outcomes, and neurological signs.

Conduct Disorder has been a part of the American Psychological Association’s Diagnostic Statistical Manuel (DSM) since its original release date in 1994. Although, there is new information about the disorder that was previously unknown, Conduct Disorder is distinguished by a “repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate norms or rules are violated” (American Psychiatric Association, 1994.) This mild, moderate, or severe antisocial behavior begins to appear either in childhood, categorized as early-onset conduct disorder , or in adolescence after ten years of age, classified as adolescent-onset conduct disorder

Conduct disorder (CD) is a disorder that primarily effects children and adolescents, with higher prevalence rates in males than females. (DSM-V). It is an issue that possibly affects more than 10% of the population of children worldwide (DSM-V, 2013). CD is defined as repetitive and persistent pattern of behavior in which the basic rights of others or major age-appropriate societal norms or rules are violated, as manifested by the presence of at least three variants and/or displays of these behaviors: aggression to people and animals, destruction of property, deceitfulness or theft, and/or serious violations of rules. The cause of this disorder has many different factors that could be said to contribute to its development those being
