成人注意缺陷多动障碍诊断与心理治疗的研究进展

注意缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）是指一种以注意缺陷、多动、冲动的行为表现为主要特征的精神病理障碍。对儿童注意缺陷多动障碍的研究有了长足的进步,但对成人注意缺陷多动障碍的研究相对较少。本文阐明了国际上对成人注意缺陷多动障碍的诊断与心理治疗的研究进展,希望引起国内临床心理学家、精神病学家和心理咨询师等的充分重视。     

Behavior Ratings and Observations of Externalizing Symptoms in Girls: The Role of Child Popularity with Adults

This study examined staff ratings and live observations of externalizing behavior in 149 girls with and without attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), who participated in all-female naturalistic research camps. Girls' popularity with adult camp staff was hypothesized to explain discrepancies between ratings and observations. Compared to behavior observations, staff ratings overestimated the externalizing behavior of girls who were disliked by staff. In contrast, ratings and observations were consistent for girls who were liked by staff. Among girls who were disliked by staff, unpopularity with peers predicted a larger discrepancy between staff ratings and observations, but peer status made little difference in rating–observation discrepancies of girls liked by staff. All results held after controlling for the participants' ADHD versus comparison status. Results suggest that staff ratings may be biased by personal feelings about children and that direct observations may be more immune to such bias.     

Stability and Change in Emotion-Organization

This investigation is based on the assumption that a person's emotion-organization is a stable, idiosyncratic property of great importance in determining that person's distinctive characteristics. The two main issues are whether a stable emotion-organization can be found in the turmoil of everyday life and whether life events affect this organization. A sequence of 323 daily assessments of an emotion list by a 26-year-old woman justifies the conclusion that stable, meaningful clusters of emotions can be distinguished. Highly emotional events have an enduring effect upon the organization of these clusters.     

7—10岁儿童不同亚型ADHD行为与共病问题

摘要：通过流行病学测查,探讨不同亚型ADHD儿童的情绪、行为和社会功能的差异。采用SDQ（长处与困难问卷）对4500名7-10岁儿童进行大样本筛查,应用K-SADS-PL量表和DSM-Ⅳ诊断标准对其中263名高危儿童进行临床评估,诊断出119名儿童ADHD。诊断出的ADHD儿童中,男性与女性的比率大约为2.22︰1,存在显著的性别差异。混合型儿童ADHD的多动性不能得分显著高于注意缺陷性;混合型ADHD的社会功能得分显著低于注意缺陷型和多动型。7岁儿童ADHD的多动情况显著低于8岁、9岁。ADHD共病率为12.6%,ADHD儿童伴有学习困难的比例为43.2%。     

A Typology of Youth Participation and Empowerment for Child and Adolescent Health Promotion

Research suggests that increasing egalitarian relations between young people and adults is optimal for healthy development; however, the empirical assessment of shared control in youth–adult partnerships is emerging, and the field still requires careful observation, identification, categorization and labeling. Thus, our objective is to offer a conceptual typology that identifies degrees of youth–adult participation while considering the development potential within each type. We use an empowerment framework, rooted in evidence-based findings, to identify five types of youth participation: (1) Vessel, (2) Symbolic, (3) Pluralistic, (4) Independent and (5) Autonomous. The typology is constructed as a heuristic device to provide researchers, practitioners and policy-makers with a common language for articulating degrees of youth participation for optimal child and adolescent health promotion.     

成人和婴儿麻疹临床特点和治疗

麻疹是一种急性呼吸道传染病,常见于6月～5岁儿童。近年来婴儿和成人麻疹患者在总患者数中所占比率表现出上升的趋势,容易造成误诊、漏诊。作为临床工作者,我们认为临床医生应充分认识到麻疹发病人群及年龄的改变,在临床工作中减少误诊,并为患者提供及时有效的治疗,对高危人群的有计划干预对于减低成人麻疹发病率有着重要作用。本文针对婴儿和成人麻疹的诊断和治疗进行了综述,试图提供参考。     

依恋——早期亲密关系的持续影响

依恋形成于婴幼时期,并贯穿人的一生。自从英国精神病学家J.Bowlby最早提出了依恋这一概念以来,依恋一直是发展心理学乃至整个心理学领域的研究重点,文章从不同理论学派对依恋如何形成所持的观点开始,从时间纬度分别介绍了"依恋"研究在幼儿期、青少年期以至成年期的主要理论以及与依恋行为有关的研究发现。     

注意缺陷多动症与犯罪的关系及其司法启示

注意缺陷多动症(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, ADHD) 是一种常见于儿童期的精神障碍, 也可能持续到青少年及成年阶段, 其症状表现为难于集中注意力、难于控制其行为及活动过度等, 这些缺陷可能会增加患者犯罪的几率。轻微脑功能障碍、自我调节学说、强化敏感性理论、相关人格特质等在一定程度上可解释ADHD与犯罪的关系。ADHD作用于犯罪存在三种不同的可能路径, 即独立作用、间接作用和无作用。文中特别指出ADHD患者在刑事司法过程中表现的特点及其司法启示。未来研究应从基因、神经心理机制及其与环境的交互作用上进一步探讨ADHD与犯罪的关系, 并提示在犯罪预防、审讯、法庭审判以及罪犯矫治中需要考量ADHD的可能影响。     

Academic Achievement Over 8 Years Among Children Who Met Modified Criteria for Attention-deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder at 4–6 Years of Age

The predictive validity of symptom criteria for different subtypes of ADHD among children who were impaired in at least one setting in early childhood was examined. Academic achievement was assessed seven times over 8 years in 125 children who met symptom criteria for ADHD at 4–6 years of age and in 130 demographically-matched non-referred comparison children. When intelligence and other confounds were controlled, children who met modified criteria for the predominantly inattentive subtype of ADHD in wave 1 had lower reading, spelling, and mathematics scores over time than both comparison children and children who met modified criteria for the other subtypes of ADHD. In some analyses, children who met modified criteria for the combined type had somewhat lower mathematics scores than comparison children. The robust academic deficits relative to intelligence in the inattentive group in this age range suggest either that inattention results in academic underachievement or that some children in the inattentive group have learning disabilities that cause secondary symptoms of inattention. Unexpectedly, wave 1 internalizing (anxiety and depression) symptoms independently predicted deficits in academic achievement controlling ADHD, intelligence, and other predictors.     

Few Preschool Boys and Girls with ADHD are Well-Adjusted During Adolescence

To estimate the prevalence of being well-adjusted in adolescence, boys and girls with (n = 96) and without (n = 126) attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) were assessed seven times in eight years starting when they were 4–6 years of age. Symptoms of ADHD, ODD/CD, and depression/anxiety in addition to social skills and social preference were gathered using multiple methods and informants. Being well-adjusted was defined by surpassing thresholds in at least four of the five domains. At the 7- and 8-year follow-up, when youth were 11–14 years old, probands were significantly less likely to be well-adjusted relative to age- and ethnicity-matched control children. Only a minority of children with ADHD was well-adjusted in adolescence when emotional, behavioral, and social domains were considered simultaneously. Even when their ADHD symptoms improved over time, most probands exhibited significant impairment 7–8 years after their initial assessment.
