Störungen des Sozialverhaltens (DSM: Conduct Disorder) sind sowohl durch aggressive (z. B. körperliche Auseinandersetzungen) als auch nicht-aggressive Verhaltensmerkmale (z. B. Missachtung von Regeln, Schuleschwänzen) gekennzeichnet. Aussagen hinsichtlich Prognose und Verlauf oder Behandlungsempfehlungen sind aufgrund der Heterogenität der Verhaltenssymptomatik meist nicht für die Gesamtgruppe der Patienten gültig. Als mögliches prognostisches Kriterium wurde bisher im DSM-IV einzig die Subtypisierung nach dem Störungsbeginn berücksichtigt. Die Evidenzgrundlage hierfür ist jedoch nicht eindeutig, und seit Erscheinen des DSM-IV im Jahre 1994 hat sich die empirische Befundlage zu Störungen des Sozialverhaltens beträchtlich erweitert. Für die Neuauflage des DSM-5 wurde die Berücksichtigung weiterer Kriterien diskutiert, insbesondere persönlichkeitsspezifischer Risikofaktoren, mädchenspezifischer Merkmale oder dimensionaler Beurteilungskriterien bzw. die Ergänzung eines auf die Kindheit beschränkten Subtyps ( Moffitt et al., 2008 ). Jedoch sind die wesentlichen diagnostischen Kriterien im DSM-5 gleichgeblieben; eine entscheidende Änderung ist die nun mögliche Klassifikation eines CD specifiers with limited prosocial emotions. Die Frage, inwieweit die im DSM-5 vorgenommenen Modifikationen hilfreich sind, um den Anforderungen einer psychiatrischen Klassifikation gerecht zu werden, soll in diesem Beitrag auf der Basis der vorliegenden Evidenzgrundlage diskutiert werden.

Objective: Limited prosocial emotions (LPE) has been recently incorporated into international classifications as a specifier for conduct disorder in the DSM-5 and for all disruptive behavioural disorders in the ICD-11. The aims of the current work were to determine (a) the accuracy of each of the characteristics used to assess the LPE specifier and (b) whether the manner in which symptoms group together supports the idea of LPE having core characteristics. Method: Trained clinicians conducted interviews and determined LPE characteristics using responses from 74 parent/guardian and child/adolescent participants. Results: The distribution of LPE characteristics among those participants with LPE ( n = 13) was compared to those with only one LPE characteristic ( n = 11). The proposal of callous lack of empathy (CLE) and shallow deficient affect (SDA) as core characteristics was supported by strong associations with the presence of the LPE specifier, larger specificity, and sensitivity indices than those for unconcerned about performance and lack of remorse or guilt, as well as by a robust aggregation in a latent class analysis. Conclusions: CLE and SDA could be considered as core characteristics of LPE in children and adolescents.

Background. To examine the familial associations of overt and covert antisocial behavior within the diagnosis of conduct disorder (CD) in families ascertained by referred children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and to test if these familial associations differed between male and female probands.Method. Subjects were clinically-referred male and female ADHD children (n=273) and their first-degree biological relatives (n=807). Scores for overt and covert conduct problems were calculated by summing the DSM-III-R conduct disorder symptoms, as derived from structured diagnostic interviews. Familial aggregation analyses were conducted with multivariate regression modeling methodology.Results. Proband overt scores significantly predicted the overt scores of their relatives, and proband covert scores significantly predicted the covert scores of their relatives. There was no evidence of covert symptom scores predicting overt scores or vice versa. There was some evidence that the aggregation of covert symptoms was stronger in the families of female probands.Conclusions. These results provide preliminary evidence that overt and covert conduct disorder symptoms are independently transmitted through families and may represent distinct familial syndromes.
