Abstract	SUMMARY Disruptive behavior disorders (DBD) in children and adolescents are among the most frequent reasons for consultation and counseling. For oppositional defiant disorder (ODD), psychosocial management is the therapeutic intervention of choice. Training parents and caregivers on the behavioral management of the child or early adolescent (12 to 15 years) is the best intervention approach. Behavioral perspective must cover all contexts: family, school, and the child him/ herself. The clinician must develop an individualized treatment plan. Interventions should be based on the methods with the greatest amount of empirical evidence. The use of medication may be helpful as a supplement to psychosocial interventions to treat symptoms and comorbid conditions. Severe and persistent ODD may require prolonged and intensive treatment. Brief interventions are usually ineffective. Conduct disorder (CD) is a mixed manifestation that requires biological, psychological and social therapeutic intervention. Psychopharmacological treatment alone is never enough. Studies of medications for the treatment of CD may be grouped according to the type of drug used: mood stabilizers, antipsychotics and stimulants. The overall effect size of psychotropic agents in the treatment of aggression is 0.56. Currently only three psychosocial treatments have been adequately evaluated: a) Training for parents, b) Cognitive training on problem-solving skills and c) Multisystemic therapy.
