Related Articles Temperament, character, and dissociation among detoxified male inpatients with alcohol dependency. J Clin Psychol. 2008 Jun;64(6):717-27 Authors: Evren C, Sar V, Dalbudak E The aim of this study was to determine possible relationships of pathological dissociation with temperament, character, and concurrent psychopathological features in a consecutive series of male alcohol-dependent patients. Fifty-eight patients with pathological dissociation were compared with 118 nondissociative patients classified by dissociative taxon membership. Beside higher scores on Anxiety, depression, and alcoholism scales, a larger proportion of dissociative group reported Childhood abuse, suicide attempts, and self-mutilation than did the nondissociative group. They also had higher scores of novelty seeking and harm avoidance, but lower scores of persistence, self-directedness, and cooperativeness. Trait Anxiety, depression, and severity of alcoholism predicted dissociative experiences; however, none of the temperament or character measures did. Rather than being a derivative of temperament or character features, dissociative experiences of male alcohol-dependent patients are associated with overall concurrent psychopathology.

Related Articles Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder: a review and update. J Pediatr Nurs. 2008 Oct;23(5):345-57 Authors: Cormier E Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent, chronic, and pervasive Childhood disorder characterized by developmentally inappropriate activity level, impulsivity, and inability to sustain attention and concentration. Core symptoms of the disorder are associated with impairment in multiple domains of functioning and often coexist with other psychiatric disorders, the most prevalent being oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder, depression, and Anxiety disorders. Concerns have been expressed about the overdiagnosis of ADHD, an upsurge in prescription of stimulant medication, and wide variations in practice patterns related to diagnosis and treatment of children with ADHD among primary care providers. Clinical research and expert consensus guidelines over the past decade have increasingly clarified the most effective approaches to diagnosis and treatment of the disorder. Hence, the purpose of this article was to provide primary care providers with the most current, evidence-based information on the assessment and treatment of children with ADHD.

Clinical research to date reveals strong correlation between Childhood abuse and neglect and Anxiety disorders, especially panic disorder. MATERIAL AND METHODS: This study was conducted in order to assess the level of emotional, physical and sexual Childhood abuse as well as the physical and emotional Childhood neglect in 40 adult patients suffering from panic disorder, diagnosed in accordance with the 10th International Classification of Disorders diagnostic criteria, compared with the control group of 40 healthy test subjects without a history of psychiatric disorders, using the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire. The severity of the clinical manifestation in patients with panic disorder was assessed using the Panic Disorder Severity Scale. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: There were no significant differences between the groups as to the level of sexual abuse and physical neglect, whereas in the group of patients with panic disorder, the level of physical and emotional abuse was significantly higher, with emphasis on emotional neglect. With regards to the correlation between the severity of the clinical manifestation in patients with panic disorder and the severity of suffered abuse ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 51 days ago
Related Articles Childhood respiratory disease and the risk of Anxiety disorder and major depression in adulthood. Arch Pediatr Adolesc Med. 2008 Aug;162(8):774-80 Authors: Goodwin RD, Buka SL OBJECTIVE: To examine the association between early Childhood respiratory disease and the risk of Anxiety and depression in adulthood. DESIGN: Cohort study. SETTING: Providence cohort of the National Collaborative Perinatal Project. PARTICIPANTS: Offspring of 1062 mothers selected for follow-up from birth through adulthood. MAIN EXPOSURE: Childhood respiratory disease. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Odds of developing Anxiety and depression by age 34 years. RESULTS: Respiratory disease in Childhood was associated with an elevated risk of receiving treatment for Anxiety disorders but not mood disorders. Specifically, higher respiratory rate at age 4 months was associated with significantly increased odds of receiving treatment for Anxiety by age 34 years (odds ratio, 2.2; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-4.4; P < .05). Respiratory disease at age 1 year was associated with significantly increased odds of receiving treatment for Anxiety (odds ratio, 2.8; 95% confidence interval, 1.2-6.5; P = .04). In addition, having respiratory disease at age 1 year only was associated with increased odds of receiving treatment for Anxiety (odds ratio, 3.1; 95% confidence interval, 1.1-8.7; P < .05), whereas having both respiratory disease at age 1 year and suspect (parent rep ...

Related Articles Exposure to Childhood sexual and physical abuse and adjustment in early adulthood. Child Abuse Negl. 2008 Jun;32(6):607-19 Authors: Fergusson DM, Boden JM, Horwood LJ OBJECTIVE: This research examined linkages between exposure to Childhood sexual abuse (CSA) and Childhood physical punishment/abuse (CPA) and mental health issues in early adulthood. METHOD: The investigation analyzed data from a birth cohort of over 1,000 New Zealand young adults studied to the age of 25. RESULTS: Exposure to CSA and CPA was associated with increased risks of later mental disorders including depression, Anxiety disorder, conduct/anti-social personality disorder, substance dependence, suicidal ideation, and suicide attempts at ages 16-25. Control for social, family, and individual factors reduced the associations between CPA and mental health outcomes to the point of statistical non-significance. However, there was a consistent finding for CSA to remain associated with increased risks of later mental health problems. After adjustment, those exposed to CSA including attempted or completed sexual penetration had rates of disorder that were 2.4 times higher than those not exposed to CSA. Those exposed to harsh or abusive physical punishment had rates of disorder that were 1.5 times higher than those exposed to no or occasional physical punishment. It was estimated that exposure to CSA accounted for approximately 13% of the mental health prob ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 9 days ago

The efficacy of a three-stage psychodynamically oriented inpatient treatment program (PITT) and the role of chronic Childhood threat on treatment outcome was investigated. Methods: A six-week treatment group of 84 inpatients were compared with 43 wait-list controls with "treatment as usual" (outpatient psychotherapy or psychiatric treatment in the meanwhile). Using measures on PTSD, dissociation, depression, selfsoothing, Anxiety and somatization, assessments were made at admission, at discharge and 6 months postdischarge. Assessments for the outpatient control group were made at comparable time spans. Results: In the treatment group significant improvements emerged on all investigated parameters (depression, intrusion, avoidance, Anxiety, somatization, and self-soothing) from baseline to discharge, many of which could be maintained over a period for 6 months. PITT especially supports the stabilization of patients with experiences of Childhood chronic threat and insecure attachment. Gains in depression, Anxiety, somatization, and self-soothing were also significa ... Source: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov --- 29 days ago
Related Articles [Adult mother-daughter relationships and psychological well-being: attachment to mothers, depressive symptoms, and self-esteem] Shinrigaku Kenkyu. 2008 Jun;79(2):116-24 Authors: Kitamura K This study examined how daughter's reported quality of their mother-daughter relationships during Childhood and adulthood is related to their psychological well-being (depressive symptoms and self-esteem). A cross-sectional sample of 363 women, age 26 to 35 years, completed questionnaires. The association between the quality of daughters' relationships with their mothers and their psychological well-being depended on the daughters' marital and parental status. Regression estimates suggested that among single daughters and married daughters with children, Childhood attachment dimensions (avoidance and Anxiety) significantly contributed to psychological well-being, even after controlling for the effects of current closeness and excessive dependence. Current closeness, and excessive care seeking and care giving to their mother contributed to the psychological well-being of single daughters and married daughters without children, even after controlling for the effects of Childhood attachment.

Abstract Recalled Childhood gender nonconformity (CGN) and adult traits—e.g., masculinity–femininity of occupational preferences (MF-Occ), self-ascribed masculinity–femininity (Self-MF), self-reported Anxiety—were assessed in an ethnically diverse US convenience sample of California college students and gay pride attendees, including 238 heterosexual men, 127 gay men, 343 heterosexual women, and 197 lesbian women. CGN showed large heterosexual–homosexual and gender differences, with homosexual individuals higher than heterosexual individuals and women higher than men. CGN was significantly associated with both men’s and women’s MF-Occ and Self-MF, both within and across sexual orientations. CGN was associated with self-reported Anxiety for men but not for women, a finding true for both heterosexual and gay men, suggesting that CGN had a more negative impact on men than women.

Families, caregivers, charities and research groups across the United States are observing September as Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. In the U.S., over 12,000 children under the age of 21 are diagnosed with cancer every year, approximately 3,000 of them will not survive the disease. A diagnosis can turn the lives of a family upside down - days suddenly filled with alternating moments of courage, frustration, boredom, Anxiety and pain. The objective of Childhood Cancer Awareness Month is to put a spotlight on the types of cancer that largely affect children, survivorship issues, and - importantly - to help raise funds for research groups working towards cures (links below images). Here are a few recent photos of families, all dealing with Childhood cancer in their own ways. ( 19 photos total ) "You're gonna be brave, right?" "Right."

I have always adored traditional Mayan textiles, especially huipils . Chi Chi Amor takes huipil and corte fabric from Guatemala and repurposes it into beautiful children’s clothing. Handmade by small family groups, Chi Chi Amor’s unique clothing are perfect for eco-conscious, globally-minded families. Chi Chi Amor was founded by two anthropologist mothers Danielle O’Connor and Shari Feldman. “Chi Chi” refers to the town of Chichicastenango, Guatemala, where textiles are produced. “Amor” of course means love in Spanish, and it expresses for Danielle and Sheri, “the realization of our idea, our friendship, the expression of our feelings for Guatemala and its people, and the deep love that we feel for our children and families…that’s Amor!” I particularly love the worry doll pants . These sweet pants are made from the traditional Mayan corte skirt fabric. Beautiful embroidered flowers adorn the pant legs, and a special surprise of worry dolls reside in the pockets. If you are not familiar with worry dolls , they are small Guatemalan folk dolls that are used to ease children’s anxieties. Children who have trouble going to sleep can tell the doll their worries, place them under their pillow, then rest peacefully as the doll does the worrying for them. With all of the Anxiety of Childhood, having worry dolls in one’s pockets would be handy to deal with the rational and irrational fears of life. Read more of this story » ...
