Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research suggests that the majority (around 70%) of children with childhood-onset CD will continue to display conduct problems 3 years later. While some may improve within 2 years, it is not typical for all to return to normal functioning. The development of psychopathy is also not a guaranteed outcome for those with CD. While it can be challenging to rehabilitate those with this disorder, it is not true that less than 5% can be helped. Therefore, option B is the best choice as it reflects what the research suggests.
