312 Disturbance of conduct, not elsewhere classified

          Disorders mainly involving aggressive and destructive behavior and disorders
          involving delinquency. It should be used for abnormal behavior, in
          individuals of any age, which gives rise to social disapproval but which is
          not part of any other psychiatric condition. Minor emotional disturbances may
          also be present. To be included, the behavior--as judged by its frequency,
          severity and type of associations with other symptoms--must be abnormal in its
          context. Disturbances of conduct are distinguished from an adjustment
          reaction by a longer duration and by a lack of close relationship in time and
          content to some stress. They differ from a personality disorder by the
          absence of deeply ingrained maladaptive patterns of behavior present from
          adolescence or earlier.
