Understanding the defiant child [Videorecording.], 34 min., 1997.
Dr. Barkley shows what oppositional defiant disorder is, when to treat it, and what causes it through family interactions and commentary from parents. There are two forms of ODD: non-compliance (child's failure to respond to a reasonable request and defiance (refusal to comply with a reasonable request). The diagnostic and statistical manual of mental disorders (DSM-IV) shows a child is ODD if four or five of the following behaviors persist for a period of six months: loses temper, argues with adults, defies or refuses adults' requests or rules, deliberately annnoys people, blames others for own mistakes, touchy or easily annoyed, angry and resentful, spiteful or vindictive. Criteria for clinical intervention: the child's behavior is developmentally inappropriate or occurs to a greater degree than is common, is causing impairment, is resulting in emotional distress for self or family. ODD is caused by parent temperament, child temperament, child management skills, family stress. Outcomes: school under achievement, poor peer relations, delinquency, substance abuse, school expulsion, antisocial personality disorder, underemployment. Manual has assessment tools.
