"Diagnosis" is a tricky business. As a registered Child and Family Psychologist (Australia and New Zealand) I would say Yes, because the diagnostic "screening" tool of the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (used as a screen by many Mental Health organizations including NZ and Australia), points to Yes. AND the observations support this. E.g. a triangulation of information. The main point is that these observable behaviours by two independent, trained observers, disappeared. The nurturing element was the virtues language "treatment" by the teachers, or the cultural shift in the classroom created a "therapeutic" community where the detailed information, support and emotional support for children in terms of communicative behaviours provided a "treatment". The other main point is that it is easy to learn how to talk like this, as it is already part of all human languages, being how humans have survived through cooperation. The Virtues Project training simple increases the specificity, accuracy, concentration and pervasive of this naturally occurring positive talk. E.g. the dosage was increased to a critically potent level. Much chemistry and physical medicine depends on concentration, heat of reaction or length of exposure to the catalyst or critical factor, before there is an effective response, e.g. treatment effect.
How about we end the war on drugs. Because I have ODD and adhd. Almost all of my rage was caused by persecution of drug use. I’ve been able to sit with medicine and help reduce my anti social behavior.
He uses antisocial behavior as the same as conduct disorder. They are not the same and minimizing this disorder is dangerous. Those who are studied in the field of Psychology understand that typical antisocial behavior can be common among children who are acting out or individuating themselves. They will bite, hit, fight and throw tantrums. Conduct disorder is a serious mental disorder (SEE DSM) and should not go unnoticed or aligned with the small sample study spoken about in this video of misbehaving children. This is a serious issue and unattended, whether covert or overt, can lead to serious consequences including sociopathy. I think the speaker was referring to ODD (operational defiant disorder) which I see working with his Virtues plan. People confuse the two and the two are not the same. Conduct Disorder is the more serious of the two disorders and can lead children and adolescents to behaviors including animal cruelty, lying, promiscuity, firestarting and vandalism. It is not just getting in fights or hitting in preschool.
@@tanyaalexander7668 conduct disorder does not respond to this method. In conduct disorder children want to upset people, they want to break things. Telling them that something is helpful makes no difference, they already know the difference. Its important to remember that these children can be very manipulative
@@TheYoungVeganUK I'm very well aware of the things you mentioned. My CD kid is in the teens now. His method certainly wouldn't work for All CD Children just like All CD Children won't grow up to be serial killers. Some grow up to be CEO's Multi millionaires ECT.....
Some of the problem behaviors (hitting, biting) are age-appropriate, however disturbing. Personality disorders cannot be diagnosed until the individual has reached the age of 18 because of behavioral milestones. Early intervention, including family therapy, yields good results
Was there a diagnosis of conduct disorder? Or just kids misbehaving and learning not to. Conduct disorder with oppositional defiance disorder tends to fall through the cracks because of the shock by the adults not believing a child could do that ends up with the kid being passed along and unlimited effort causes no change because the behaviour to the child is worth the outcome. This will not work unless it's a nurture issue. The nurture vs nature theory was proved scientifically to not be what they thought. True psychopaths or conduct disorder in kids cannot be changed. This has been proven in research by people who have the disorder themselves. I would,loved to,have seen this guy work with my son when he was young. Many tried, none succeeded. Teachers, psychiatrists, councillors, therapists, psychologists, grandfathers, uncles, aunts. Positive talk, positive reinforcement,token economy, restrictions, structured environment. Nothing worked. Good luck with this positive talk.
Opalbird1 : what do you mean to say, if the child had conduct disorder and was properly given attention and nutured, then the child would have been "cured"? I have a brother, who has antisocial behavior now, kills for fun. Childhood pictures of him show always a angry look on him, photos show him forecfully clasping my dad's hand, in group photos he would sit away from us, and had delayed language issues till age 4-5. We had no financial or emotional issues ever, and lived in a peaceful country/time period (middle East), but am confused as to why he became like is now when we had everything just fine
Hi pretty little penny, my four-year-old son is out of control most days and extremely hard on other days. we took him to go see a therapist for the first time havent got too far into anything but then I ran into these videos. I have a question did your son grow out of this behavior? was he intentionally mean to siblings? if any? at first, I thought he was a psychopath with his behavior but I am just lost trying to figure this kid out. anything would help. thanks ahead
Noaman Sattar no my meaning was as yours is. No amount of nurture can change the brain of a conduct disorder/psychopath. They can be sort of trained when young, but learn quickly as they grow older they can physically out do you,
@@Opalbird1 - this talk was not about addressing psychopathy, especially psychopathy in children with is far rarer and not really the subject of a Ted talk - these are short, bite-sized snippets of complex, important topics brought down out of the hayloft of research where the goats (us) can get a look. This is not a seminar on how to deal with the full range of antisocial behaviors evidenced in children.
It needs to be address? supps, nutrition, drugs or what? Teaching or education. We can not ignore the fact their behaviour is very dangerous and needs to be stopped. Sentencing them to treatment or else... is important. If a person is not commited to change what can we do to protect people who are the victims of these people? If we are just compassionate they'll run riot. W e need to address the cause.
