ABSTRACT

Accurate diagnoses and evidence-based interventions are essential to the treatment of psychological disorders. Evidence-based strategies can help patients who suffer from a multitude of psychological disorders, including conduct disorder (CD). Using interventions that lack scientific evidence is likely to be detrimental to patients, the field of psychology, and society, as response to treatment becomes less likely. Thus clinicians must learn about treatments that have proven efficacy and effectiveness in order to successfully address patients’ symptoms and improve patient’s daily functioning.
