The aim of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of modified behavior therapy on conduct disorder symptoms in chil- dren with callous-unemotional traits. In the single-case experimental design with multiple baselines, three boys with conduct disorder were selected by Available and purposeful according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria. For this purpose, Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits (Frick, 2003) was used to identify children with callous-unemotional traits. Modified Behavioral Therapy for the implementation of a self-made training package derived from the teachings of Miller et.al (2014) and Waschbusch et.al (2019), and Parent Disruptive Behavior Disorders Rating Scales (Pellham, Gnagy, Greenslade & Milich, 1992) for investigating con- duct disorder symptoms in the baseline and intervention stages were used. Data analysis by using graphs and calculation of improve- ment percentage and effect size showed that modified behavior therapy has a clinical effect on reducing conduct disorder symptoms. Based on research findings, it can be said that the use of modified behavior therapy has practical implications for reducing conduct disorder symptoms, and is recommended for parents, counselors, and clinicians.
