PSYCHOPEDAGOGY AND ITS MEDIATIONS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF CHILDREN WITH OPPOSITIONAL DEFIANT DISORDER – ODD

Abstract

ODD is a behavioral disorder characterized by a recurring pattern of negative, hostile, and defiant behavior, especially toward authority figures. The main objective of this study is to analyze the mediations in the professional management of psychopedagogy in its practice. The study is justified by the scarcity of in-depth scientific studies inherent to the subject. The study methodology is qualitative, with bibliographic research. The results revealed little information and scientifically produced guidelines from Psychopedagogy on how to deal with children diagnosed with ODD, as well as positive and differentiated intervention proposals appropriate for this audience. Thus, we rely on the theoretical basis of mediations in the authors who argue that the subject is capable of changing through mediation processes. In conclusion, we have professional gains with the theoretical deepening of the mediation modes in the field of psychopedagogy, as well as the indication for research aimed at the development of mediation strategies and their applicability.
