摘要:

There have been rapid advances in genetics, particularly over the last 10‐15 years. This review outlines the main developments in behavioural, molecular and cytogenetics that have taken place and illustrates the way these have led to improvements in our understanding of genetics and the pathogenesis of complex disorders. Various contemporary genetic research strategies for the study of psychopathology are described and the importance and implications of these approaches for child psychiatry are discusse

摘要:

A retrospective survey was conducted of the prescribing practices of child and adolescent psychiatrists serving both inpatients and outpatients in one health region of 2.5 million population. The majority of psychiatrists were found to prescribe ‐ 87% (21/24) a ratio of 7:1. The most commonly treated disorders were: psychoses, depression and hyperactivity. There has been a recent shift in prescribing practice for antidepressants, with the introduction of the newer selective serotonin re‐uptake inhibitors (SSRIs). The number of patients treated was small and appears comparatively less than in the

摘要:

This study explored whether certain child characteristics (age, type of problem presented, and gender) influenced the referral decisions of parents, general practitioners, and child psychologists. These three groups were taken as key gatekeepers in controlling access to mental health services. Results suggested that age of child and type of problem significantly affected the subject's responses whilst sex of child did not. Psychologically disturbed 10‐year olds may be more likely to reach mental health services than psychologically disturbed 3‐year olds, and children who showed their disturbance in terms of conduct disorder may be more likely to arouse concern than those who present with emotional disturba

摘要:

Measuring oppositional and aggressive behaviour might seem simple since it is so obvious when it happens. However, the kind of instrument chosen to record it will strongly influence what is revealed, so several issues need to be considered to avoid false conclusions: Are girls really much less antisocial, or do they just express it differently? Why do parents' and teacher's accounts agree so poorly? Are there two different sets of children, ‘overt’ aggressors and ‘covert’ liars and stealers? Is the problem really hyperactivity? The relative merits of questionnaires, semi‐structured interviews, and direct observation to answer these questions are c
