摘要:

Schizophrenic disorders in childhood are very rare, but there is a remarkable increase in frequency after the onset of puberty. Age and developmental stage are important factors that influence symptomatology, course and outcome. With regard to aetiology, there is increasing evidence of neurointegrative deficit as a general basis. The prognosis of child schizophrenia is poor and, in addition, adolescents with schizophrenia have a somewhat poorer prognosis than adults.

摘要:

Recent research in the field of eating disorders is reviewed, with particular focus on child and adolescent subjects. Studies exploring the significance of personality variables, family interaction styles, biological measures, childhood sexual traumas and treatment are discussed. Reports of eating disorders in obese subjects and across cultures have broadened the focus of research and may lead to a greater understanding and novel treatment approaches.

摘要:

Recent clinical and family studies of autism and fragile X syndrome are reviewed in the context of determining the mode of transmission of autism. Current data are not compatible with simple Mendelian transmission models. Other processes such as genetic anticipation and imprinting may be involved.

摘要:

Recent articles addressing the heterogeneity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder are reviewed. The impact of subtyping patients by differences in comorbidity, family psychiatric history, neuropsychometric testing, and biological markers will be discussed in the context of clarifying the phenotype or phenotypes of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Current information supports the concept of subtyping by comorbid patterns and independent variables and then testing the usefullness of these subtypes in family, clinical, and treatment studies.

摘要:

Recent research on the diagnostic categories for anxiety disorders as defined by ICD-10 and DSM-III-R is reviewed. Considerable problems are apparent with the adoption by ICD-10 of developmental appropriateness as a rationale for differentiating anxiety disorders, particularly with the criteria for separation anxiety disorder of childhood (SAD-C). The relationship between generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and overanxious disorder (OAD) has not been well defined, although a number of fragmented pieces of evidence are presented and some hypotheses can be drawn. The division of social anxiety into avoidant disorder and social phobia has been proved to be invalid; the status of elective mutism to these diagnoses is considered. The paucity of research into the nosology of anxiety disorders and related areas, particularly treatment, is highlighted and a number of avenues for further work are proposed.

摘要:

A renewed interest in scientific investigations of the influence of parenting and family environment on the development of child psychopathology has arisen. Using a variety of methodological approaches, recent studies have shed light on the overt and subtle family forces that can serve as either protective or risk factors in the emotional development of the child.

摘要:

Child psychiatry consultation liaison is a broad field involving the interface between psychiatry, neurology and pediatrics. Three aspects are reviewed: psychosomatic illness, psychiatric aspects of chronic medical illness and the interface between psychiatry and neurology. Current research is largely descriptive, focusing on patterns of psychiatric diagnosis in children and adolescents with specific medical illnesses. Further systematic descriptive research in these areas is needed, along with investigations focusing on the effectiveness of treatment for psychiatric disorders in the context of a chronic illness.

摘要:

Recent evidence suggests that adolescent substance misuse interventions should target high-risk groups. There is more interest in the emotional aspects of related psychopathology and in other substance-misuse related risks. The risk of HIV infection is high among adolescents involved in alcohol and drug use. Cigarette smoking and alcohol use are increasingly seen as 'gateway' substances. Some treatment approaches are promising, but a clear theoretical concept for treatment has not yet emerged.
