Knowing and diagnosing carefully a Disruptive Behavior Disorder, analyzing the clinic consistency of the subtypes DC and CU as well as the etiological, neurocognitive and neurobiological specificities, will allow the clinician to perform a much more precocious diagnosis. The comprension of the factors that are associated with aggressiveness and disruptive behaviors contributed to the development of interventions in order to prevent and reduce the impact of these disorders, which can evolve into juvenile delinquency or antisocial personality disorders, if not treated. This article, after an exposition of the new DBD criteria in the DSM V and an analysis of the risk factors for aggressive children, will outline the researches on this topic, and will describe the intervention protocol named Coping Power Program (CPP), as well as listing some researches, including the italian ones, that confirmed the effectiveness of this protocol.

ABSTRACTObjective: To assess the impact of childhood conduct disorder (CD) and intelligence quotient (IQ) on later substance use in adolescence.Methods: Neuropsychological and structured diagnostic evaluations were initially administered to 32 children with disruptive behavior disorder when they were 7–11 years of age. They were then re-evaluated on average 6.7 years later using an array of interviews and rating scales with a focus on substance use.Results: Early CD and IQ scores together accounted for a significant proportion of the variance in later substance use (R2=.248). In addition, there was a significant CD and Verbal IQ interaction (R2=.164) such that high Verbal IQ was linked to increased substance use in adolescents who had childhood CD.Conclusion: These data indicate that the presence of conduct disorder may interact with high Verbal IQ during childhood in such a way as to predict later adolescent substance use in disruptive behavior disorder populations.

Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory differential diagnosis of disruptive behavior disorder vs no behavior disorder was investigated. Results were twice cross-validated. Millon adolescent Scales 4, 5, 6, G, SS, and TT were closely related to diagnosis of behavior disorder. Two psychometric rules averaged 70% hits and 35% false positives over three samples, Rule 1 of >2 elevations (baserate score >63) among Scales 6-G-SS-TT and Rule 2 of Scale 4 elevated with Scale 5 or with one of 6-G-SS-TT. An ancillary rule was highly specific to behavior disorder (90%). Two broad dimensions or factors appeared to be represented in the key scales; Scales 4 and 5 exemplified a histrionic-narcissistic factor, while the 6-G-SS-TT combination typified behavioral conflict and instability.
