This study aimed to suggest treatment guidelines for evidence-based treatments of disruptive behavior in children and adolescents by reviewing related research articles. Disruptive behavior refers to a wide range of significant behavior problems, and it persists by complex interactions of multiple risk-factors across the individual, family, peer, school, and community domains. This study examined empirically-supported treatment programs for disruptive behaviors from other countries and reviewed 28 Korean research articles, from 1998 to 2019, dealing with treatments of disruptive behaviors. Finally, this study summarized guidelines for evidence-based treatments of disruptive behaviors in children and adolescents, and discussed future directions for research and clinical implications.
