Six patients diagnosed with Serious Conduct Disorder are described who had begun the use of Clozapine. They had been widely studied and received application of standardized instruments of infantile psychiatry (CBCL - Child Behavior Check List) before and after the use of this medication.

Results

The patients had mainly significant improvement in relation to the level of aggressiveness and social behavior.

Conclusions
