A 12-year-old boy is brought into the office by his mother, who states, "I can't deal with this anymore!" She appears exasperated, claiming that her son has been getting into more and more trouble over the past 15 months since the finalization of a particularly long and difficult divorce. He has been leaving the house at night without notifying his mother or telling her of his whereabouts. She suspects that he is responsible for the increased vandalism in the neighborhood. He has recently been caught shoplifting at a nearby store. His grades have always been poor, but he has just been suspended for missing classes and skipping school over the past year. He has often come home with evidence of having been in fights. She suspects that he may be hanging out with gang members. She is afraid of his ending up in jail and "becoming like his father."
Ahistory of which of the following premorbid diagnoses would most likely be found in this patient?
