Description

In Week 3, you created an annotated bibliography on a set of topics. For this assignment, use that information to write a thorough literature review. Develop a paper from the information you collected as well as what you learned from your course and text readings. To supplement your literature review for this paper, find two more scholarly journal articles related to any of the topics here (added to the six articles you reviewed in Week 3, for a total of at least eight articles; see article criteria from W3 Assignment 2):

  • Criteria: Clearly identify and describe your chosen disorder. Include the following:
    • The typical age of onset of the disorder
    • Symptoms or criteria for diagnosis
    • The typical course or progression of the disorder, causes, and multicultural and diversity factors (including gender)
    • Associated problems or disorders that tend to co-occur
  • History: Describe the history of the disorder. (Explain how our understanding of the causes and treatment of the disorder has changed over time.)
  • Theories: Compare at least two psychological theories that seek to explain the causes and symptoms of the disorder.
  • Treatments: Identify and describe three of the most effective (on the basis of your research findings) treatments for the disorder. Provide information from your sources to back up your statements.

Write a paper in Microsoft Word document, adhering to the following guidelines:

  • The length of the paper should be 12–14 double-spaced pages (including the title and reference pages).
  • The paper should have the following sections:
    • A title page
    • Introduction: This should be 1–2 pages in length. The introduction provides a brief overview of what will be covered and the purpose of the paper.
    • Literature review: The literature review should be based on the information you gathered and analyzed in Week 3, in addition to at least two additional articles. In total, you should be including at least eight academic journal articles in this paper.
    • Discussion and conclusion sections: The difference between a great paper and a marginal one is the depth and originality of the discussion and conclusion sections. This is where you bring together what you learned from the literature review (as well as through the course) in your concluding remarks regarding your topic. The discussion and conclusion sections should be 1–2 pages in length.
    • References page

The paper must use proper APA style for citing sources and references. Apply APA standards to citation of sources, including use of in-text citations and full references.

Submission Details:

  • Name the paper SU_PSY4400_W5_A2_LastName_FirstInitial.doc.
  • Submit the paper to the W5 Assignment 2 Dropbox by Tuesday, February 21, 2017.

Annotated Bibliography of Conduct Behavior Literature Review
Introduction
Conduct behavior (CD) relates to set of behavior that tends to violate the fundamental
rights of others or the age-appropriate rules and norms in a given society. Conduct behavior
tends to be extremely challenging to teachers, mental practitioners, and parent among other
people in the community. The mental disorder also brings a high cost regarding personal loss for
families, children, and the community. For example, although children and adolescents who
experience conduct disorder at early stages make up only 3% to 5% of all the youth living with
CD, they tend to appear responsible for at least half of the criminal offenses that are committed
by juveniles.

The fact that other comorbid disorders like attention-deficit disorders and

substance abuse tend to occur at the same time with conduct disorder, it makes it difficult to treat
leading to high rate of treatment failure. Clinical experience in children and mental health centers
in Ontario indicates that children with early onset of conduct disorder use the largest amount of
resources and they tend to be the most expensive patients to serve.
Since the majority of the children and adolescents with CD often end up in juvenile
justice and education systems, it makes this particular group unable to receive the mental health
services that they need in time. Also, CD is one of the most difficult disorders to diagnose treat
because of its complexity since it requires well-coordinated and carefully designed treatment
interventions that target multiple areas of functioning.

A lot of resources is required to

effectively assess and implement a treatment plan for children with CD, especially the
adolescents in the young offender brackets. At recent years, data relating to the extent of the

disorder, the factors contributing to resilience and risk, and the effective treatment strategies has
become available hence increasing the awareness and knowledge of the disease.
Conduct Behavior Criteria
Conduct behavior is characterized by aggression which is a natural human expression that
is mostly notable for young children. When the community and parents’ guide these kids, this
behavior tends to erode as the child grows and they become sociable with the other kids and
teenagers around them and at last they inhibit the aggressive behaviors. However, there are
children who do not inhibit this kind of behavior; they end not learning to socialize with their
peers. This group of children is eligible for a diagnosis of conduct behavior.
There are two types of conduct disorder. These subtypes are different with the issue of
age been the primary determinant. To determine the type of CD the age of symptom onset is
vital. These various types of CD tend to differ regarding the developmental course, gender
demographics, and characteristics of presenting problems. The child-onset type is determined by
the presence of at least one criterion before ten years of age (Grohol, 2013). The majority of this
kind of children are mostly male, who to a large extent show physical aggression, and they might
have had oppositional defiant behavior in their early childhood and stand at high risk of
persistent conduct disorder, then that group which had the adolescent-onset type of CD. The
adolescent-onset type of CD can be defined as the absence of any criterion that is before ten
years of age. This kind of group is composed of individuals who are less likely to show
aggressive behavior compared to the group experiencing the childhood-onset type. The children
experiencing this kind of CD

have the likelihood to experience normative peer relationships,

although they seem to display inappropriate behavior and conduct in the presence of other
children or peers. The children at the adolescent-onset type stand at a lower risk of experiencing
persistent conduct behavior. The ratio of male and females who are diagnosed with the
adolescent type conduct disorder seems to be lower that diagnosed with the childhood-onset type
of conduct disorder (Grohol, 2013)
Symptoms of disturbances of behavior can be noticed at early stages of life as long ago as
two years old. The occurrence of an early antisocial behavior is a universal predictor of
aggression in childhood. Some of the first symp...
