Book Impact of Maternal Depression on Adolescent Antisocial Behavior in Academic Settings

Download or read book Impact of Maternal Depression on Adolescent Antisocial Behavior in Academic Settings written by Nicole A. Breault and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maternal depression impacts the entire family system, yet it is not yet acknowledged as a public health issue. Research demonstrates that children who are raised by a caregiver with clinical depression are likely to be negatively impacted in social, emotional, and cognitive development. Maternal depression adversely impacts a child’s development of prosocial behaviors resulting in maladaptive externalizing behaviors in the classroom setting. Despite individual differences in children (i.e. age, gender, and socioeconomic status), current research has found that there are significant social, emotional, and behavioral differences in children that are raised by a mother who suffers from chronic depression, in comparison to children raised by mothers that do not experience depression.

Book Depression in Parents  Parenting  and Children

Download or read book Depression in Parents Parenting and Children written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depression is a widespread condition affecting approximately 7.5 million parents in the U.S. each year and may be putting at least 15 million children at risk for adverse health outcomes. Based on evidentiary studies, major depression in either parent can interfere with parenting quality and increase the risk of children developing mental, behavioral and social problems. Depression in Parents, Parenting, and Children highlights disparities in the prevalence, identification, treatment, and prevention of parental depression among different sociodemographic populations. It also outlines strategies for effective intervention and identifies the need for a more interdisciplinary approach that takes biological, psychological, behavioral, interpersonal, and social contexts into consideration. A major challenge to the effective management of parental depression is developing a treatment and prevention strategy that can be introduced within a two-generation framework, conducive for parents and their children. Thus far, both the federal and state response to the problem has been fragmented, poorly funded, and lacking proper oversight. This study examines options for widespread implementation of best practices as well as strategies that can be effective in diverse service settings for diverse populations of children and their families. The delivery of adequate screening and successful detection and treatment of a depressive illness and prevention of its effects on parenting and the health of children is a formidable challenge to modern health care systems. This study offers seven solid recommendations designed to increase awareness about and remove barriers to care for both the depressed adult and prevention of effects in the child. The report will be of particular interest to federal health officers, mental and behavioral health providers in diverse parts of health care delivery systems, health policy staff, state legislators, and the general public.

Book The Transmission of Maternal Depression

Download or read book The Transmission of Maternal Depression written by Kristine Nicole Piescher and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Assessment approaches for posttraumatic stress disorder within the MMPI and MMPI-2 have utilized two different methods: evaluation of profile patterns and evaluation of an imbedded scale. Research has demonstrated that respondents with PTSD have varied profile configurations, thus, most research has involved the evaluation of an imbedded scale. Differences in classification rates were in research, justifying development and evaluation of a different scale. This dissertation used the Replicated Rational Selection technique to identify and psychometrically refine a set of scales that corresponded to the symptom clusters of PTSD. Three separate sample, ranging in degree of psychopathology, were used to refine the developed scales based upon each item's corrected item total correlations and cross-scale correlations. The validation and examination of the classification rates of the developed scales was compared to the imbedded scale within a general psychiatric sample (N-1175). Results indicated little differences in classification rates between the developed scales and the scale currently included within the MMPI-2. However, results of logistical regressions indicated that there is some potential utility for predicting PTSD using the developed scales."--Page III

This book was released on 2015-03-31 with total page 944 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essential reference for human development theory, updatedand reconceptualized The Handbook of Child Psychology and DevelopmentalScience, a four-volume reference, is the field-defining work towhich all others are compared. First published in 1946, and now inits Seventh Edition, the Handbook has long been consideredthe definitive guide to the field of developmental science. Volume 4: Ecological Settings and Processes in DevelopmentalSystems is centrally concerned with the people, conditions, andevents outside individuals that affect children and theirdevelopment. To understand children's development it is bothnecessary and desirable to embrace all of these social and physicalcontexts. Guided by the relational developmental systemsmetatheory, the chapters in the volume are ordered them in a mannerthat begins with the near proximal contexts in which children findthemselves and moving through to distal contexts that influencechildren in equally compelling, if less immediately manifest, ways.The volume emphasizes that the child's environment is complex,multi-dimensional, and structurally organized into interlinkedcontexts; children actively contribute to their development; thechild and the environment are inextricably linked, andcontributions of both child and environment are essential toexplain or understand development. Understand the role of parents, other family members, peers,and other adults (teachers, coaches, mentors) in a child'sdevelopment Discover the key neighborhood/community and institutionalsettings of human development Examine the role of activities, work, and media in child andadolescent development Learn about the role of medicine, law, government, war anddisaster, culture, and history in contributing to the processes ofhuman development The scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the fourvolumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science isin the midst of a very exciting period. There is a paradigm shiftthat involves increasingly greater understanding of how todescribe, explain, and optimize the course of human life fordiverse individuals living within diverse contexts. ThisHandbook is the definitive reference for educators,policy-makers, researchers, students, and practitioners in humandevelopment, psychology, sociology, anthropology, andneuroscience.

Book Preventing Bullying Through Science  Policy  and Practice

Download or read book Preventing Bullying Through Science Policy and Practice written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-09-14 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bullying has long been tolerated as a rite of passage among children and adolescents. There is an implication that individuals who are bullied must have "asked for" this type of treatment, or deserved it. Sometimes, even the child who is bullied begins to internalize this idea. For many years, there has been a general acceptance and collective shrug when it comes to a child or adolescent with greater social capital or power pushing around a child perceived as subordinate. But bullying is not developmentally appropriate; it should not be considered a normal part of the typical social grouping that occurs throughout a child's life. Although bullying behavior endures through generations, the milieu is changing. Historically, bulling has occurred at school, the physical setting in which most of childhood is centered and the primary source for peer group formation. In recent years, however, the physical setting is not the only place bullying is occurring. Technology allows for an entirely new type of digital electronic aggression, cyberbullying, which takes place through chat rooms, instant messaging, social media, and other forms of digital electronic communication. Composition of peer groups, shifting demographics, changing societal norms, and modern technology are contextual factors that must be considered to understand and effectively react to bullying in the United States. Youth are embedded in multiple contexts and each of these contexts interacts with individual characteristics of youth in ways that either exacerbate or attenuate the association between these individual characteristics and bullying perpetration or victimization. Recognizing that bullying behavior is a major public health problem that demands the concerted and coordinated time and attention of parents, educators and school administrators, health care providers, policy makers, families, and others concerned with the care of children, this report evaluates the state of the science on biological and psychosocial consequences of peer victimization and the risk and protective factors that either increase or decrease peer victimization behavior and consequences.

Book Handbook of Adolescent Behavioral Problems

Download or read book Handbook of Adolescent Behavioral Problems written by Thomas P. Gullotta and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2007-08-26 with total page 674 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As we enter the new millennium, promoting sound mental health and positive behavior of adolescents has undeniably taken on greater significance than ever before. To that end, more and more research is confirming what many have suspected for years: environment and community surroundings have a major affect on an adolescent’s well-being and overall mental health. And because no single causal agent triggers teenage pathology—and no one-size-fits-all treatment is available—the Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems offers a comprehensive and integrative biopsychosocial approach to effective practice. This volume examines not only the psychological and genetic factors underlying dysfunction, it also explores the critical roles that family members, peers, and the larger community play in an adolescent’s life. It offers current interdisciplinary perspectives on adolescent development, both functional and pathological, and provides coverage that is clear, accessible, and practical on such topics as: Major disorders, including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, ADHD, PTSD, developmental delays, and conduct disorders. Behavior problems, such as substance abuse, sexual offenses, teen pregnancy, school failure, gambling, and gang violence. Best practices, reviewing what works (i.e., interventions that have been rigorously validated), what might work (i.e., those in need of further study), and what doesn’t work. Residential interventions as well as community treatment. Risk and resiliency factors. Ongoing and emerging pharmaceutical issues. Each chapter focuses on a specific behavior or disorder and is formatted to help readers quickly locate needed information. The Handbook of Adolescent Behavior Problems provides a solid foundation for understanding the adolescent experience and the influence of the family and community as well as much-needed information on the development of evidence-based practices. It is designed to be a one-stop reference for anyone working with adolescents—developmental psychologists, clinical and school psychologists, and education specialists as well as for graduate students in these areas.

Book Maternal Depressive Symptoms  Child Behavioral Outcomes  and Effects of Partner Involvement and Social Support in a Sample of Latina Adolescent Mothers and Their Toddlers

Download or read book Maternal Depressive Symptoms Child Behavioral Outcomes and Effects of Partner Involvement and Social Support in a Sample of Latina Adolescent Mothers and Their Toddlers written by Erin N. Weller and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Though previous research on European American and mixed samples of adult mothers indicates that maternal depression relates to higher levels of behavior problems in children, research on Latina adolescent mothers has been scarce. The current study aimed to add to the literature by assessing the relation between maternal depressive symptoms and child internalizing and externalizing problems in a sample of adolescent Latina mothers and their 18-month-old children. Furthermore, romantic partners of young Latina mothers have been identified in the literature as an important source of support, and some studies and theories indicate that they may also play an important role in the lives of the children of these mothers. Thus, an additional goal of the study was to investigate the potential direct and indirect effects of partner social support and child care on maternal depressive symptomatology and child internalizing and externalizing behavior problems. 135 participants and their target children residing in a large Midwestern city were recruited to participate in the study. Data were collected at a home visit conducted by two female researchers via observation, computer-aided questionnaires, and paper questionnaires. Results of analyses supported the hypothesis that maternal depressive symptoms significantly relate to both child internalizing and child externalizing in this sample. Moreover, results indicate that partner social support directly relates to maternal depressive symptoms. Results did not support the hypothesis that partner child care would directly relate to child outcomes. Support for the indirect effect of partner social support on child internalizing through maternal depression was found. Lastly, results provided evidence of the buffering effect of partner child care such that maternal depressive symptoms were related less strongly to child internalizing problems at higher levels of partner child care than at lower levels of partner child care.

Download or read book Women and Depression written by Corey L. M. Keyes and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2006-01-23 with total page 608 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, rates of depression are greater among females than males, and this gender gap emerges during adolescence and persists throughout adulthood. Until recently, women's health has centered on the topic of reproductive health, because research focused almost exclusively on biological and anatomical differences distinguishing men and women. Social and behavioral research on gender differences in health now employs multiple disciplinary frameworks and methodologies, and researchers seek to understand the higher rates of specific diseases and disorders in women and men. Symptoms of depression and the diagnosis of depression are more prevalent in women, and research that focuses on biological, psychological, and sociopolitical explanations for this gender gap should now be brought together to better inform efforts at treatment and prevention. Women and Depression is a handbook that serves to move toward a more integrative approach to women's depression in particular and mental health for all more generally.

Book Fostering Healthy Mental  Emotional  and Behavioral Development in Children and Youth

Download or read book Fostering Healthy Mental Emotional and Behavioral Development in Children and Youth written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2020-01-18 with total page 391 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Healthy mental, emotional, and behavioral (MEB) development is a critical foundation for a productive adulthood. Much is known about strategies to support families and communities in strengthening the MEB development of children and youth, by promoting healthy development and also by preventing and mitigating disorder, so that young people reach adulthood ready to thrive and contribute to society. Over the last decade, a growing body of research has significantly strengthened understanding of healthy MEB development and the factors that influence it, as well as how it can be fostered. Yet, the United States has not taken full advantage of this growing knowledge base. Ten years later, the nation still is not effectively mitigating risks for poor MEB health outcomes; these risks remain prevalent, and available data show no significant reductions in their prevalence. Fostering Healthy Mental, Emotional, and Behavioral Development in Children and Youth: A National Agenda examines the gap between current research and achievable national goals for the next ten years. This report identifies the complexities of childhood influences and highlights the need for a tailored approach when implementing new policies and practices. This report provides a framework for a cohesive, multidisciplinary national approach to improving MEB health.
