Disruptive, impulse control and conduct disorders are typically disorders that involve degrees of difficulty with maintaining self-control, aggressive behaviors, and impulses. Often, one’s actions or behaviors are threatening to the safety of others or may go against societal norms.
Throughout this course, you will be introduced to a series of individuals, each displaying symptoms that are indicative of specific Disruptive, Impulse Control, and Conduct Disorders as outlined in the DSM-5-TR. By watching interactive video patient simulations, you will have the opportunity to observe and analyze the behaviors and symptoms of each client and apply the diagnostic criteria to make an accurate diagnosis.
