摘要:

AbstractA random population sample of 1479 Chinese boys from Hong Kong was screened and diagnosed in a two‐stage epidemiological study. Four groups, age 7–8, were distinguished: (1) a pure hyperactive group (HA), (2) a mixed hyperactive/conduct–disordered group (HA + CD), (3) a pure conduct‐disordered group (CD), and (4) a normal control group (N). On a visual search task, only the HA children showed a specific processing deficit in performance. This confirms the diagnostic value of such a deficit for hyperactivity, differentiating it from conduct disorder. The failure to find a similar deficit in the HA + CD group raises questions concerning the clinical identity of these children. Each group showed a performance decrement over time in the visual search task but the decrement did not differ between the four groups. This observation is not congruent with the reports of a short attention span in hyperactive children; explanations of this apparent contradiction are con

摘要:

AbstractOn two computerized versions of the Matching Familiar Figures Test (MFFT; Kagan,Child Development,36, 609–628, 1965) pervasively hyperactive and matched control children had to identify a target from among five similar foils. One version had a temporal structure similar to the manual MFFT and trial length was determined by response speed. Hyperactive children behaved in an “impulsive” manner; they responded more quickly and made more mistakes than controls. Despite this they completed each trial more quickly than controls by identifying the target. On the second version, the length of each trial was fixed at 45 seconds. Although both groups were equally “reflective”, hyperactive children still made more mistakes. Implications of these results for research in impulse control in general and hyperactivity in particular are

摘要:

AbstractFifty‐six cases with childhood onset deficits in attention, motor control and perception (DAMP) were followed‐up at age 16 years and compared with 45 children without DAMP. Both groups had originally been recruited from the general population at the age of 6 years. Psychiatric disorders (affective disorders in particular) were more common in the DAMP group. Personality disorders were common in both groups, but the DAMP group much more often had a combination of several different personality disorders. The reasons for the discrepancies between teenagers with and without a prior history of DAMP are discus

摘要:

AbstractThis study investigates factors associated with satisfaction with medical communication at the time of diagnosis of a child's severe mental or physical disability. Two competing social psychological models that have been used to account for parent/patient satisfaction are tested: Korsch's (1968) affective model and Ley's (1977) cognitive model. One hundred and sixty six mothers of children with severe learning disabilities were questioned about the time when their child's disability was first diagnosed. Measures included the child's age when diagnosis was made, the length of time parents had been anxious, and how satisfied they were with the way they were told the diagnosis. They were asked to rate the doctor's affective behaviour and their understanding and memory of the information they received. Fifty‐eight per cent of parents reported dissatisfaction with the communication. Stepwise multiple regression analysis showed that Korsch's affective scale was much the strongest predictor, entering the equation first, and explaining 35.7% of the variance in satisfaction. Ley's cognitive scale entered second, explaining a further 1.4% of the variance. Further analysis including the other predictors found that six predictors explained 40% of the variance. The implications of the findings for the training of medical staff are discusse

摘要:

AbstractA longitudinal study found high levels of depression in women of divorced parents, but not in men. In childhood there had been few behavioural differences between girls from divorced and intact families. Subsequently, there were significant differences in job‐changing during early careers, premarital pregnancy, and own marital breakdown. Greater adult depression was not attributable to social networks, emotional support, recent life events, financial circumstances or the main effect of marital status. A significant interaction reflected little relationship between parental divorce and symptoms for women in first marriages, but a strong relationship in the never married, divorced, and remarie

摘要:

AbstractThis study followed up into adulthood a group of child psychiatric patients suffering from depressive disorders and a closely matched nondepressed child psychiatric control group. Depression in childhood was a strong predictor of attempted suicide in adulthood. This predictive power was not due to the association between childhood depression and other childhood risk factors such as conduct disorder or suicidality. Rather, it seemed mostly to reside in the association between depression in childhood and major depression in adult life. These findings suggest that the pathways from childhood psychopathology to adult outcomes can be complex, and depend crucially on what happens later.

摘要:

Abstract58 psychotic adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 diagnosed according to RDC criteria were matched with psychiatric comparisons and followed‐up using a two stage design. Information upon the group as a whole was obtained using death records, criminal records and data from the Oxford Record Linkage System. A sub‐sample of 21 matched pairs were interviewed using the Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia—Life time version (SADS‐L) and the Adult Personality Functioning Assessment (APFA). The outcome of adolescent schizophrenia was poor with 78% continuously ill and socially handicapped. Outcome was better for bipolar disorders and schizo‐affective disorders and similar to psychiatric co
