Abstract
This chapter reviews oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), which is one of the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorders for children and one of the most common reasons children are referred for mental health services. ODD involves eight symptoms of disruptive, authority-defying, and aggressive behaviors that coincide with poorer personal and social adjustment for children. ODD is often comorbid with other externalizing and internalizing problems for children and adolescents. Further, if not addressed, ODD problems can persist and contribute to more severe aggressive and deviant behaviors over time. As such, there is great interest in understanding, assessing, and intervening to reduce ODD symptoms among children and adolescents. This chapter reviews the definitions and concepts regarding ODD, distinguishes ODD from related disruptive behavior and mood disorders relevant to children and adolescents, addresses the etiology and developmental trajectory of ODD, and reviews prevalent assessments and treatments for ODD.
