TY - JOUR PY - 2002// TI - The role of trauma in conduct disorder JO - Journal of aggression, maltreatment and trauma A1 - Greenwald, Richard SP - 5 EP - 23 VL - 6 IS - 1 N2 - Trauma is proposed as a key to understanding the development and persistence of conduct disorder, in conjunction with other contributing factors. Trauma history is ubiquitous in the conduct disordered population, and trauma effects can help to account for many features of conduct disorder, including lack of empathy, impulsivity, anger, acting-out, and resistance to treatment. The current standard of care fails to fully address trauma, which may partially explain the low success rate of extant treatment approaches. A trauma-informed perspective is introduced to current models of conduct disorder. Research, prevention, and treatment implications are discussed.
