Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multisystemic treatment is effective for conduct disorders because it focuses on treating the multiple systems that contribute to the child's behavior. This includes working with the child's family, school, peers, and community to provide support and skills training. By involving all of these systems, it keeps the family together and helps the child learn to function in all areas of their life. It does not rely on medications for behavior control, does not teach the child and parent separately, and recognizes that the source of the problem may not just be within the child.
