11. Children with oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) are at high risk for criminality and antisocial personality disorders in adulthood (Rutter, 1997). Finding a biological marker that is specific to persistent antisocial behavior is therefore important. Psychobiological studies on aggression have focused on serotonin and testosterone as major biological variables (Higley et al., 1996). From around age 6, children exhibit a gradual increase in androgens of adrenal origin, a period called the adrenarche , and it is not until puberty that gonadal androgens, such as testosterone , become more important. Research in prepubertal children should therefore focus on adrenal androgens , such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its sulfate (DHEAS), which is also made endogenously in the brain.. (Robel and Baulieu, 1994), increase neuronal excitability, and have neuroprotective properties (Wolf and Kirschbaum, 1999), They appear to have potent antagonistic effects on GABA mechanisms, which are involved in aggressiveness (Majewska, 1992. Whereas other studies have found evidence of lower levels of cortisol in individuals with ODD (McBurnett et al., 1991; Vanyukov et al., 1990), they found in this study and a previous one (van Goozen et al., 1998b) that levels of adrenal androgens were elevated in children with ODD.

40. Lifetime prevalence, correlates, and persistence of oppositional defiant disorder: results from the National Comorbidity Survey Replication. Nock MK , Kazdin AE , Hiripi E , Kessler RC . Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA. nock@wjh.harvard.edu BACKGROUND: Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is a leading cause of referral for youth mental health services; yet, many uncertainties exist about ODD given it is rarely examined as a distinct psychiatric disorder. [PubMed - indexed for MEDLINE] RESULTS: Lifetime prevalence of ODD is estimated to be 10.2% (males = 11.2%; females = 9.2%). Of those with lifetime ODD, 92.4% meet criteria for at least one other lifetime DSM-IV disorder, including: mood (45.8%), anxiety (62.3%), impulse-control (68.2%), and substance use (47.2%) disorders. ODD is temporally primary in the vast majority of cases for most comorbid disorders. Both active and remitted ODD significantly predict subsequent onset of secondary disorders even after controlling for comorbid conduct disorder (CD). Early onset (before age 8) and comorbidity predict slow speed of recovery of ODD. CONCLUSIONS: ODD is a common child- and adolescent-onset disorder associated with substantial risk of secondary mood, anxiety, impulse-control, and (substance use) disorders.

Antisocial behaviour is defined as behaviour by which people are disadvantaged and basic norms and values are violated. Examples of such behaviours are lying, stealing and truancy. Before age 13. Aggressive behaviour tmay differ in females in the form of less overt gestures than bullying and hitting. Gossiping in this group to hurt others emotionally is a form of oppositional behavior. Terrible two’s : forming autonomy: normal oppositional behavior. “ ODD is when the behavior persists or is more severe or more often than in others of the same age grou Authority figures overreact. Also normal at separation from parents to define autonomy. Chronic illness in late childhood, env trauma or illness as well as MR can trigger oppositionalism as a defense against helplessness and loss of self esteem (normal) so rule out chronic illness in these kids as a causative factor. Psychoana theory: unresolved conflicts expressed with all authority figures. Behaviorists: oppositionalism is a reinforced learned behavior through which a child exerts control over an adult (temper tantrum results in long talk or end of the request reinforces the behavior. Tend to agree here because in other d/o such as GAD, there is almost always a hx of criti cal parent. Ask bad parents? Bad kids? T
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY AND TREATMENT OF AGGRESSION EMIL F. COCCARO LARRY J. SIEVER
Children with a conduct disorder (CD) or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) are at high risk for criminality and antisocial personality disorders in adulthood (Rutter, 1997). Finding a biological marker that is specific to persistent antisocial behavior is therefore important. Psychobiological studies on aggression have focused on serotonin and testosterone as major biological variables (Higley et al., 1996). However, although an association between androgens and aggression has been clearly established in animals, the evidence in humans is less clear-cut (Archer, 1991). From around age 6, children exhibit a gradual increase in androgens of adrenal origin, a period called the adrenarche, and it is not until puberty that gonadal androgens, such as testosterone, become more important. Research in prepubertal children should therefore not focus on testosterone, but on adrenal androgens , such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), its sulfate (DHEAS), and androstenedione. Of these, DHEA and DHEAS are particularly interesting because they are also endogenously synthesized by the brain (Robel and Baulieu, 1994), they increase neuronal excitability, enhance neuronal plasticity and have neuroprotective properties (Wolf and Kirschbaum, 1999), and, finally, they appear to have potent antagonistic effects on central [gamma]-aminobutyric acid (GABA) mechanisms, which are involved in aggressiveness (Majewska, 1992). One would therefore expect to find elevated DHEA/DHEAS levels in individuals who are aggressive. Whereas other studies have found evidence of lower levels of cortisol in individuals with ODD (McBurnett et al., 1991; Vanyukov et al., 1990), we found in the present study and a previous one (van Goozen et al., 1998b) that levels of adrenal androgens were elevated in children with ODD. It is interesting that the opposite pattern is observed in depressed patients, namely relatively high levels of cortisol and low levels of DHEA/DHEAS (Goodyer et al., 1996). Although no study to date has analyzed levels of cortisol and DHEA/DHEAS simultaneously in ODD, is possible that a pattern of increased androgen production and decreased cortisol production reflects a change in balance of ACTH–[beta]-endorphin/ joining peptide production, with all fragments arising from the same precursor molecule, pro-opiomelanocortin (Clarke et al., 1996). At present, however, this idea remains speculative. We also do not know whether this process, if it exists, is initiated by early stress or genetic factors. However, there is a growing body of research showing how early stressful experiences can have permanent effects on the developing neurobiological systems in the brain, including the HPA axis (Carlson and Earls, 1996). The results demonstrate that adrenal androgen functioning is an important topic for future research into the causes of persistent oppositional and antisocial behavior. A better understanding of the mechanisms involved in the development of antisocial behavior, including a better knowledge of the biological predispositions to aggression, should ultimately result in earlier and more effective interventions.

Lines without arrowheads indicate relationships in which the direction is not clear.

parent-training and child-focused skill training. (Table 1) A combination of approaches results in better outcomes than either approach in isolation.2 Parent-training elements should include psychoeducation about the importance of parental monitoring of behavior, establishing and implementing clear, consistent contingencies (rewards and consequences), limit setting, and strategies to improve the quality of the parent-child relationship through child-directed play, for example. Parent training would utilize active approaches such as modeling of skills/communication styles and behavioral rehearsal or role-playing with specific constructive feedback. Child-focused skill training would target affect education, anger management, and problem-solving skills. Affect education teaches children to recognize, label, and interpret emotions (their own and others). Effective anger management skill building includes teaching skills such as self-talk, relaxation methods such as deep breathing or imagery, recognition of physiological “warning signs” for anger, and gaining insight into anger “triggers” by keeping logs. Problem solving skill training includes learning to generate alternative solutions or choices and evaluating the likely consequences of alternative options through self-evaluation.
