Abstract: 
This article presents a case study of conduct disorder. The patient is 12 years old, she manifests symptoms of conduct disorder. These symptoms affect her daily functioning, affect academic performance, relationships with friends and relations with parents. The patient followed cognitive behavior therapy. Family dynamics can be considered difficult, due to the older age of parents. The therapeutic relationship can be described as good, since the patient willingly comes to therapy, but there are challenges during the process as she tends to respond very briefly. The behavior has changed during the therapy.
