Abstract
The importance of parent and child influences on the development of conduct disorder in boys is evaluated. The research approaches reviwed include studies of interactions between unrelated mothers and children, reaction to punishment, autonomic reactivity, biochemical factors, and drug treatment and longitudinal studies of delinquency.
