Confusion Between Conduct Disorders and Antisocial Personality Disorder (ASPD)
Parents may struggle to differentiate between conduct disorders, which are often diagnosed in childhood, and the development of ASPD, which can emerge later. This confusion can lead to misunderstandings and delayed interventions.
Focusing on Behavioral Symptoms Without Addressing Underlying Issues
The diagnostic focus on conduct disorders, which emphasizes behaviors like rule-breaking or aggression, can prevent parents from addressing the deeper emotional and relational causes of antisocial behaviors. This can result in cycles of misbehavior without understanding the root psychological issues.
Fear of Recidivism and Limited Options for Treatment
Parents may feel powerless when their childโs antisocial behaviors continue or escalate, especially if treatment focuses primarily on punishment rather than rehabilitation. This contributes to frustration, especially when efforts to change behavior seem ineffective.
