SUMMARYAutistic children attending three different special units were followed up over a 31/2–4 yr period to assess changes in educational, cognitive, linguistic, social and behavioural status. The régimes in the units varied in the amount of structure and the orientation to educational goals. This paper presents detail of the study design, methods used, and results of an objective examination of staff behaviour in the three units. It was possible to demonstrate significant differences in the amount and character of staff interactions with children both between units and between individual sta

摘要:

SUMMARYThe results and procedures of investigators who have used parents as primary or auxiliary change agents for their children arc reviewed. Deviant child behaviors that have been successfully modified by parents are first described. Following this, methods of parent training are discussed. The third and final section of the paper deals with some critical methodological issues–data collection, reliability of measurement, demonstrations of behavioral control, follow‐up, and cost‐effectiveness factors–that require routine and more careful consideration before the efficacy of parent therapists can be adequately assessed. Several recommendations are provided by which to achieve more definitive analyses of this approach to child treatment. Suggestions for subsequent research are also briefly di

摘要:

SUMMARYThis paper suggests that a change in the conceptualization of attachment is required in order to avoid certain research impasses. In particular, problems arising from work on the “stability” of attachment and on the relationship between its various “indices” are discussed. Attachment should be viewed as patterns of interaction between two human beings and not as a “thing” whichresultsfrom such interactions. It is suggested that regarding it as certain characteristics of person‐child interaction rather than as a “summary‐construct” attributed to a child, may lead to more meaningful investigation of the psychological processes inv

摘要:

SUMMARYWe determined the incidence of bipolar and unipolar affective, disorder among the natural relatives of 59 hyperactive children, the “legal” relatives of 35 adopted hyperactive children, and the relatives of 41 control children. There were no significant differences in incidence of the two conditions between the groups of relatives, except for a greater incidence of unipolar affective disorder in the combined second degree blood relatives of hyperactive children than in the relatives of controls. Moreover, the incidence of bipolar affective disorder in the natural parents of hyperactive children was much lower than figures reported for the parents of patients with this type of affective disorder. Our data do not support the idea that hyperactivity is a childhood form of manic‐depressive psyc

摘要:

SUMMARYThe ability of hyperactive children to maintain attention on three tasks was examined. One of the tasks, a Choice Reaction Time Task, measured attention for brief periods, while the other two measured sustained attention. Of the latter two, one was an experimenter‐paced task (the Continuous Performance Test) and the other a self‐paced task (the Serial Reaction Task). It was found that the hyperactive children were no different from their normal controls in their ability to direct their attention for brief periods. They were, however, significantly inferior to the controls in their ability to sustain attention, particularly on the experimenter‐paced
