摘要:

AbstractThis paper reviews the existing literature on selected issues in relation to child and adolescent sex abuse perpetrators. The relatively recent recognition of this phenomenon and the multiple problems of definition in this field may have affected the figures for incidence and prevalence. Among known cases a high proportion of young sex abuse perpetrators have suffered earlier adversities such as sexual and physical victimisation, dysfunctional family relationships and peer isolation. Despite a slender research data base on which to draw, treatment programmes for this client group have proliferated and many of these have not been adequately evaluated. There is a pressing need for the adoption of agreed definitions of outcome targets and measures and establishing longterm outcome studies with this group of children and adolescents.

摘要:

AbstractThis study examined the reliability and validity of an adapted version of the Separation Anxiety Test (SAT) for 8–12–year‐old children. Clinical (N= 21) and nonclinical (N= 21) participants were compared on responses to the SAT coded using the Seattle scoring indices. Inter‐rater reliability was established at an acceptable level, however, test‐retest reliability and internal test construction were less satisfactory. Sample comparisons found the clinical participants described themselves as less securely attached and more avoidant of emotional expression than the control participants. The indices of attachment security were also related to various socioemotional aspects of functioning. In addition, the results indicated that describing “self” as different from a similar “other” child was significantly related to parental reports of poor social competence. Results are discussed in relation to an Attachment Theory framework as well as from a cli

摘要:

AbstractThe Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was completed by parents of 181 pairs of same‐sex twins ages 7–15 (mean age = 11.0 years). Correlations between scores on the CBCL scales for 99 pairs of monozygotic twins and 82 pairs of dizygotic twins indicated significant genetic influences that varied according to the specific area of competence and problem behavior. Model‐fitting estimates derived from multiple regression analyses indicated significant genetic influence on competence in school and on all areas of problem behavior. In addition, significant shared environmental influence was detected for amount and quality of participation in activities, quality of social relationships, performance in school, anxiety/depression, and delinquent behaviour. Implications for future work on the mechanisms underlying these effects are disc

摘要:

AbstractFour studies on the inter‐rater reliability of a proposed Axis V version for DSM‐I V and of the CGAS involving 162 child and adolescent patients and 20 clinicians showed moderate agreement (intraclass correlation: 0.53–0.66). This was comparable to previous versions of Axis V, but lower than that reported for the CGAS. More detailed description of anchor points did not increase reliability nor there were differences in agreement when rating current or previous functi

摘要:

AbstractChild psychiatric records of 33 girls given a diagnosis of “schizoid” personality in childhood, were compared with records of a control group of other referred girls and with those of 32 pairs of “schizoid” and control boys. Seventeen “schizoid” girls were seen again in adult life and compared with 32 “schizoid” boys previously followed up at the same age. The features of “schizoid” girls in childhood and adult life were very similar to those of the boys. A striking finding, possible due to referral bias, was the high rate of antisocial conduct in “schizoid” girls, both in childhood and later life. The dilemmas of diagnostic classification of this group of

摘要:

AbstractThe stability in number, level, content, and pattern of fears over a one‐year period was examined in Chinese children and adolescents aged 7–17. In addition, perceptions of fear in friends and parents as well as perceptions of the controllability and modifiability of fears were explored as predictors of subsequent fear level. Evidence for moderate stability of fears was obtained. However, stability was qualified by age and sex interaction effects. A developmental‐cultural hypothesis was put forth to account for those findings. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that perceptions of fears in friends and parents, along with perceptions of the controllability and modifiability of fears, were predictive of fear level at follow‐up. Limitations of the study ar

摘要:

AbstractIn this follow‐up study, mothers of 28 children with conduct disorders (CD) and 29 children with emotional disorders (ED) of 6–11 years of age, were interviewed and rated for expressed emotion 9 months after their first clinical assessment. Mothers of children with CD expressed significantly less criticism and higher warmth after 9 months. Initial externalizing scores in the CD group and initial internalizing scores in the ED group at the first assessment predicted symptomatic change, in contrast with EE scales. Initial externalizing scores and low levels of maternal warmth predicted presence of conduct disorder at the last contact with the clinician. The implications of the findings on the development of treatment techniques are discus

摘要:

AbstractThis study assessed the association between parental style, family functioning and adolescent well being, contrasting intact families with those of changed configuration. Eight hundred and one grade 10 general level teenagers in 11 high schools of a single educational system were the subjects. Results indicated that the configuration of the family was not the key determinant of effectiveness of family functioning. Instead the style of parenting turned out to be the main determinant of both family functioning and well being of the adolescents. While both “parents” were judged to have contributed to these outcomes cross gender effects were fo
