Abstract Objective To investigate the mental health status and the effect of the integrative psychosocial treatment on childhood conduct disorder (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.
