Behavior Issues
Bad Conduct, Defiance, and Mental Health
In “Bad Conduct, Defiance, and Mental Health,” an article appearing in the new issue of Focal Point, Charley Huffine argues that the CD and ODD diagnoses are not meaningful, and that these labels are often attached to youth who suffer from other (usually undiagnosed) mental health difficulties. Often, youth who receive these diagnoses are reacting to stress, chaos, or dysfunction in their social environments. Huffine contends that we must take a more compassionate view of these young people and offer treatment that responds to their unique life circumstances.
