Treatment of Aggression and Antisocial Behavior in Children
May 25
10:30AM – 11:30AM
William L. Harkness Hall | Room: 119 — 100 Wall Street
Alan Kazdin, Sterling Professor of Psychology & Professor of Child Psychiatry
Severe aggressive and antisocial behavior (frequent fighting, stealing, destroying property, fire setting) in children is one of the most expensive mental health problems in the United States. The presentation will highlight the nature of the problem and what we know about risk factors, causes, and life-long outcomes. The immediate clinical challenges are to reduce these behaviors and markedly improve child functioning at home, at school, and in the community. At Yale, we have developed effective treatments for these children. Yet, many contextual features, both in family life and society at large, contribute to the very problems we are trying to change.
Professor Kazdin is a Yale Alumni Association Howard R. Lamar Faculty Award recipient for 2019.
