Funded Activity Summary

Conduct problems (CP) in childhood are the most reliable precursor of all types of adult mental health problems. Conclusive evidence now exists to show that a subgroup within CP children, those with high levels of callous-unemotional (CU) traits are etiologically distinct and are relatively unresponsive to existing evidence-based treatments.The aim of the current programme is to test a new treatment for these children.
