I know that conduct therapy its the main treatment on conduct disorders, and that pharmacological therapy its been controverted the use, and mostly its focused on risperidone, and the use of valproic acid or carbamazepine or lithium to try and diminish the aggressivity, but what happens when therapy its not working and but risperidone and AVP dont work, what other drug therapies or therapies can be used on a conduct disorder on a severe level with ideas/actions regarding harming animal or other people.
I havent found studies that could orientate me on such cases, so i would like to know if anyone can give another insight on it.
Occasionally if there's motivation to change and impulsivity SSRIs are helpful
The child has lack of remorse of actions, enjoys them little to non evolution to a good outcome by using therapy nor AVP nor Risperidone, so what other therapies are there?

Thanks Beatrice the problem with conduct disorders i believe its that most studies are on teenagers not on infants, so we got little information regarding those.
Has some heard or used propanolol on conduct disorder patientes with violence outbreaks or ideas to hurt someone on a childhood period?
Dear Demian,
Obviously beta blockers are used:
