Children with conduct problems (DSM-V Oppositional Defiant Disorder and or Conduct Disorder) as assessed using the DISCAP V. We adhere to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) guidelines that research into the externalising disorders is compromised by exclusion of the major and naturally occurring comorbidities, Thus ADHD, affective/anxiety disorders, learning problems, and mild autistic features are allowed if conduct problems are also present and the child is not receiving or is stabilised on psychoactive medication in relation to them at the time of assessment.
