This comprehensive volume offers an in-depth exploration of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD), providing readers with a clear understanding of its scope, clinical manifestations, and treatment approaches. Through detailed chapters, the book examines diagnostic criteria, assessment tools, etiological factors, and differential diagnosis, offering both theoretical and practical insights.
Covering the spectrum from childhood to adolescence, the text addresses clinical symptoms, comorbidities, and the profound impacts of ODD on family, school, and social functioning. Innovative psychoeducational, psychotherapeutic, and pharmacological interventions are presented, alongside case studies that illustrate effective strategies for management.
Special attention is given to vulnerable populations and unique circumstances, including children from single-parent families, low socioeconomic backgrounds, disadvantaged neighborhoods, and minority or immigrant groups. The book also explores the relationship between ODD and risk behaviors, including antisocial tendencies and adolescent crime, providing valuable guidance for clinicians, educators, and researchers.
Written by leading experts in child development, family counseling, and mental health, this book is an essential resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, educators, social workers, and all professionals seeking to understand and support children and adolescents with ODD.
