Abstract
Unser Wissen zu Ursachen, Verlauf und Behandlungsoptionen von Patienten mit Störungen des Sozialverhaltens beschränkt sich überwiegend auf Studien an männlichen Patienten. In neueren Untersuchungen werden vermehrt weibliche Patientinnen berücksichtigt und geschlechtsassoziierte Unterschiede überprüft. Die vorliegende Arbeit gibt eine Übersicht über aktuelle Erkenntnisse zum psychopathologischen Erscheinungsbild und den neuropsychologischen Auffälligkeiten bei Mädchen mit Störungen des Sozialverhaltens. Es wird zudem die Frage berücksichtigt, ob auf der Basis der referierten Untersuchungsbefunde auf das Vorliegen geschlechtsspezifischer psychosozialer und neurobiologischer Risikofaktoren zu schließen ist. Implikationen für zukünftige Trends in der Forschung und Möglichkeiten für differentielle Behandlungsoptionen für Mädchen und Jungen werden diskutiert.
Our knowledge concerning etiology, development, and treatment of conduct disorder (CD) is based on research predominantly conducted with male patients. Recent studies have increasingly considered female CD patients and have tested gender-specific differences. The present article summarizes current findings on psychopathological phenotypes and neuropsychological deviations in female patients with CD. We also address whether the reported literature allows the conclusion to be drawn that gender-specific psychosocial and neurobiological risk factors exist. Implications for future research and gender-specific treatment options for boys and girls are discussed.
