Experiential activities and discussions will be used to present ODD in its entirety, the related differential diagnoses, and effective treatments. Intermixed, we'll explore controversies concomitant to the disorder and how our own attitudes and beliefs affect its successful diagnosis and treatment.

After attending this breakout, you will leave able to:

1) Talk about the controversies surrounding the diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD) and be able to defend this diagnosis and provide a differential diagnosis with similarly presenting disorders; then,

2) Design a treatment plan using evidence-based practices currently believed to be most effective in treating ODD.
