Abstract
This chapter examines the life of Oppositional Defiant (ODD) and Conduct Disordered (CD) children and adolescents as they emerge into the world beyond their families of origin. It documents how they function in school and in the larger community, how they relate to peers, and finally how they deal with intimate relationships and with children of their own. In addition to focusing on the behavior of these individuals, the reactions of significant others in the social context are explored, because these reactions often markedly alter the trajectory of the ODD/CD children’s development.
