Abstract

Objective To investigate the mental health status and the effect of the integrative psychosocial treatment on childhood conduct disorder (CD). Methods Forty children with CD received solution-focused brief therapy(SFBT) along with family therapy for 3 months. The mental health status of patients was assessed through the symptom checklist(SCL-90) and the CD symptoms scale before and after treatment.Results After treatment, a significant efficacy of as high as 67.5% and a total response rate of 90.0% were achieved in children with CD. Compared with the domestic norm of SCL-90 scoring, the SCL-90 total score and the scores of 6 factors, including obsessive compulsive disorder,interpersonal sensitivity,depression,anxiety,hostility,and phobic anxiety, in children with CD before treatment were significantly higher. After treatment the scores were reduced to the normal levels in children with CD. Conclusions SFBT combined with family therapy can significantly improve the obsessive compulsive disorder,interpersonal sensitivity,depression,anxiety,hostility,and phobic anxiety in children with CD. It is effective in the treatment of CD.
