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.
Download or read book Parent and Family Outcomes of Community based Mental Health Treatment for Adolescents written by Caroline Lewczyk Boxmeyer and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although youth mental health providers often target a broad range of youth, family, and contextual concerns, outcome measurement has typically been limited to youth symptoms and functioning. Parent and family outcomes have been assessed in several controlled child psychotherapy trials, but in few adolescent trials, particularly among adolescents receiving "real-world" community-based care. This study addresses this gap by examining parent and family outcomes in 170 families of male and female adolescents (ages 11 to 18) receiving publicly-funded outpatient mental health treatment in San Diego County. Associations between adolescent, parent, and family outcomes are examined, as well as treatment characteristics that predict outcomes. High levels of parent and family problems were observed at both youth treatment entry and 6-month follow-up. For example, 60% of parents' intake CES-D scores reflected depression symptoms in the clinical range, improving to only 51% at follow-up. Significant improvements were observed in caregiver strain and parent-reported family relationship quality, but not in parental depression, perceived social support, or adolescent-reported family relationship quality. Parent and family changes were correlated with adolescent changes, with the strongest association between reduction of adolescent externalizing problems and reductions in parental strain and depression. Therapist endorsement of family systems theoretical orientation predicted greater reduction of parental strain. Better parent-therapist alliance was associated with better parental depression, strain and family relationship outcomes. Other treatment characteristics (number of sessions, type of treatment goals, parental expectations) did not predict parent or family outcomes. These findings evidence the high level of distress among parents and families of adolescents receiving community-based mental health treatment and indicate that significant but moderate improvements in family contextual concerns occur during the course of youth treatment. Increased attention to family concerns may be critical for improving the effectiveness of "real world" youth mental health treatment, in order to create more stable family environments in which youths' therapeutic gains can be fostered and maintained.

Download or read book Adolescent Focused Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa written by James Lock and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From pioneering family-based treatment developer James Lock, this is the first comprehensive guide to adolescent-focused therapy (AFT) for anorexia nervosa (AN), an evidence-based individual approach. AFT is an effective alternative to family-based treatment that may be a better fit for some patients. Lock explains how AN serves as a maladaptive response to developmental challenges of adolescence. He presents a manualized framework for helping adolescents find more adaptive coping strategies, manage difficult emotions, and develop greater autonomy and a stronger sense of self, while reducing risky behaviors and restoring weight. AFT emphasizes the therapist–patient alliance and involves parents in a supportive role. Rich case material and sample dialogues illustrate how to implement each phase of the approach. AFT is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents by the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The family plays a central role in the mental health of children. This study of the family in relation to child development and dysfunction explores whether there are critical family characteristics that are reliably predictive of childhood dysfunction - and whether these characteristics can be modified by family therapy. The author places specific types of dysfunction such as depression, conduct problems and anxiety in the context of family influences, and details issues of identification, assessment and treatment of childhood dysfunction in relation to family processes.
Download or read book Normalization and Family Functioning in Families with a Child who is Technology Dependent written by Valerie Boebel Toly and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between child/maternal factors (child's functional status, level of technology dependence, mother's depressive symptoms, length of caregiving duration, amount of home health care nursing hours, race, family income and age of the child) and (a) family functioning, as well as (b) normalization in families with a child who is technology dependent. Additionally, this study examined whether there are differences in family functioning, normalization and mother's depressive symptoms based upon the child's level of technology dependence (mechanical ventilation, intravenous nutrition/medication, respiratory/nutritional support). A descriptive, correlational design was used in this cross-sectional study. Data were collected using the Functional Status II-Revised, Center for Epidemiological Studies- Depression, Feetham Family Functioning Survey and a subscale of the Normalization Scale in face-to-face interviews. Mothers of 103 children who are technology dependent and living at home comprised the sample. The sample of mothers aged 21-66 years were 73% Caucasian and 27% women of color, who cared for their technology dependent child aged 7 months-16 years; 73% received solely respiratory/nutritional support. Pearson correlations revealed that greater depressive symptoms and less use of normalization were significantly associated with poorer family functioning. In the hierarchical regression analysis, 35% of the variance in family functioning was explained, primarily by level of depressive symptoms. Conversely, several independent variables/covariates were found to be significant predictors and explained 34% of the variance in normalization. Better child's functional status, less depressive symptoms, fewer hours of nursing care, older child and Non-Caucasian race or Hispanic ethnicity were related to greater normalization efforts. Statistical analyses for mediation reveal that a mother's depressive symptoms are a mediator between the child's functional status and normalization. ANOVA analysis showed no statistically significant differences in outcomes based upon the child's level of technology dependence. Mothers of children who are technology dependent are at high risk for psychological distress that can affect overall family functioning. This work will be pivotal in designing interventions to assist families in the home management of this vulnerable and growing population of children.

The estimation and interpretation of multilevel models is demonstrated using realistic examples from various disciplines including psychology, education, public health, and sociology. Readers are introduced to a general framework on multilevel modeling which covers both observed and latent variables in the same model, while most other books focus on observed variables. In addition, Bayesian estimation is introduced and applied using accessible software.
Download or read book Handbook of Infant Toddler and Preschool Mental Health Assessment written by Rebecca DelCarmen-Wiggins and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2004-03-25 with total page 566 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Handbook of Infant, Toddler, and Preschool Mental Health Assessment brings together, for the first time, leading clinical researchers to provide empirically based recommendations for assessment of social-emotional and behavior problems and disorders in the earliest years. Each author presents state-of-the-art information on scientifically valid, developmentally based clinical assessments and makes recommendations based on the integration of developmental theory, empirical findings, and clinical experience. Though the field of mental health assessment in infants and young children lags behind work with older children and adults, recent scientific advances, including new measures and diagnostic approaches, have led to dramatic growth in the field. The editors of this exciting new work have assembled an extraordinary collection of chapters that thoroughly discuss the conceptualizations of dysfunction in infants and young children, current and new diagnostic criteria, and such specific disorders as sensory modulation dysfunction, sleep disorders, eating and feeding disorders, autistic spectrum disorders, anxiety disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder, and ADHD. Chapters further highlight the importance of incorporating contextual factors such as parent-child relationship functioning and cultural background into the assessment process to increase the validity of findings. Given the comprehensiveness of this groundbreaking volume in reviewing conceptual, methodological, and research advances on early identification, diagnosis, and clinical assessment of disorders in this young age group, it will be an ideal resource for teachers, researchers, and a wide variety clinicians including child psychologists, child psychiatrists, early intervention providers, early special educators, social workers, family physicians, and pediatricians.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the World Health Organization’s World Health Report 2001, one family in four worldwide has at least one member currently suffering from a mental disorder. This disorder often remains undiagnosed and untreated, but the behaviour of the ill person usually has a significant impact on the quality of life of the family and on the mental health of the other members of the family, and generates feelings of shame, guilt, helplessness and despair. This book provides a comprehensive picture of currently available evidence about the specific characteristics of the burden on the families of people with the various mental disorders, the coping strategies which increase or decrease this burden, the family interventions of proven efficacy, and what should be said and what should not be said to the relatives of people with the various conditions.
