Title: Comparative Analysis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and Conduct Disorder (CD)

Objective: Create a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation based on the provided assignment guidelines, focusing on diagnostic criteria, etiological factors, risk assessment, treatment approaches, long-term outcomes, ethical considerations, and policy implications related to ODD and CD.

Section 1: Diagnostic Criteria

  • Instructions:
  • Summarize the diagnostic criteria for ODD and CD.
  • Discuss the similarities and differences between the two disorders.
  • Analyze how these differences affect diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Include considerations for differential diagnosis with other disorders such as ADHD, mood disorders, or anxiety.

Section 2: Etiological Factors

  • Instructions:
  • Review biological, psychological, and environmental factors contributing to the development of ODD and CD.
  • Discuss the roles of genetics, neurobiology, family dynamics, and socio-economic factors.
  • Reference recent research to support your points.

Section 3: Treatment Approaches and Efficacy

  • Instructions:
  • Critically analyze evidence-based treatments, such as Behavioral Therapy, Parent Management Training, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and pharmacological interventions.
  • Discuss strengths and limitations of each approach.
  • Provide case examples or research studies to illustrate treatment effectiveness.

Section 4: Long-Term Outcomes and Prognosis

  • Instructions:
  • Review longitudinal studies on the long-term trajectory of individuals with ODD and CD.
  • Analyze how early intervention impacts outcomes.
  • Discuss the potential progression to antisocial personality disorder (ASPD) in adulthood.

Section 5: Ethical and Cultural Considerations

  • Instructions:
  • Discuss ethical issues such as potential stigmatization and the impact of labeling on individuals with ODD and CD.
  • Analyze how cultural factors influence the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders.
  • Provide recommendations for culturally sensitive practices in assessment and intervention.

Section 6: Policy and Practice Implications

  • Instructions:
  • Analyze current findings and their implications for policy and best practices in schools and mental health services.
  • Propose recommendations for improving support systems, preventive measures, and intervention strategies.

Deliverables:

PowerPoint Presentation: A presentation summarizing key findings and recommendations (Sections 1-6) designed for a professional audience (10-15 slides). The presentation should be visually attractive (tables, images, etc.) without replacing written content. The entire space of each slide should be used effectively.

All content that is not your own original idea/discovery must be cited for academic integrity purposes using APA formatting (in-text citations and references).

The title slide and references slide are not counted toward the total (minimum required) slide count.

Students must support their claims with the textbook and at least two credible sources (published journal articles). One of these sources must come from the CSU library.
