This book was released on 2007 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite prior research indicating Parent Training (PT) is an efficacious treatment for children with Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD), few conclusions can be made about the efficacy given the inconsistent manner in which PT programs have been implemented. Also remaining unclear is whether reported clinical improvements are due to altered parenting styles or other factors targeted by PT programs. In response to this situation, the current study conducted a therapeutic component analysis to determine whether a complete PT program, which included contingency management and AD/HD counseling (Anastopoulos & Barkley, 1990), was superior to a didactic-attention control (D-AC) group, which only taught AD/HD counseling. A total of 126 clinic-referred children with ADHD, between 6 and 11 years of age, and their parent(s) participated. Although increases in knowledge of AD/HD and contingency management were reported as predicted, differences in treatment effectiveness across the two groups did not emerge as anticipated; both groups experienced improvements related to child, parent, and family functioning. However, treatment-related group differences were evident with respect to child emotional functioning suggesting PT was superior to the D-AC group. These findings were examined in terms of their clinical significance using methodology by Jacobson and Truax (1991). Findings indicate that treatment aimed at increasing knowledge of AD/HD, which is rarely integrated into behavioral treatments, may enhance existing treatments.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Positive Psychology and Disability written by Michael L. Wehmeyer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-07-25 with total page 561 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roughly 54 million people with disabilities live in the U.S., and there are many more millions of people with disabilities around the world. Not surprisingly, differences among and between people with disabilities are often as notable as differences between people with and without disabilities. And, while the lack of homogeneity among people with disabilities makes creating a valid taxonomy under this term difficult, if not impossible, there is commonality among and between people with disabilities that justifies an authoritative resource on positive psychology and disability. That is, they have experienced discrimination and marginalization as a function of their disability. This volume assembles chapters by leading scholars in the fields of disability and positive psychology to provide a comprehensive synthesis of the state of the field of positive psychology and disability. Chapters are organized into thematic sections, beginning with an introductory section providing information on overarching themes in positive psychology and disability. The second section highlights the application of positive psychological constructs to disability, including quality of life, self-determination, adaptive behavior, optimism, hope, problem solving, forgiveness, gratitude, and spirituality. The following section addresses systemic issues in disability that impact positive psychology, again turning to disciplines beyond just psychology (special education, rehabilitation sciences, family, and disability policy) to address areas in which positive psychology can be applied. A fourth section examines positive psychology in specific disabled populations, including physical disabilities, cognitive and developmental disabilities, severe multiple disabilities, emotional and behavioral disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders. Disability has always been associated with "differentness" and, consequently, people with disabilities have, throughout time, been treated as such. As the first handbook to consider disability from a strengths-based perspective, this volume provides a catalyst to accelerate the application of positive psychology with regard to how disability is understood.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Objective:The present study evaluated the effectiveness of a parenting program designed specifically for hyperactive preschoolers. Method: Participants were 31 preschool-aged children whose parents were randomly assigned to a treatment or waitlist group. Parents who were assigned to the treatment group took part in a 14-week parenting program that involved teaching parenting strategies to manage hyperactive and disruptive behavior as well as emotion socialization strategies to increase children's emotion regulation. Results: The present study's findings were mixed. There were significant changes on a number of measures of child functioning and parent behavior for families who took part in the parenting program, but these findings were tempered by several nonsignificant findings. Compared to control families, families who participated in the parenting program evidenced significant changes in mothers' reports of child inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms, observations of mothers' positive parenting and negative affect, and mothers' self-reported verbosity, punitive reactions, and minimizing/discouraging reactions. Moreover, parent training fathers reported decreases in child inattentive and hyperactive/impulsive symptoms. However, treatment families did not significantly differ on mothers' ratings of child lability/negativity and internalizing behavior; audiotaped child behavior; or mothers' self-reported overreactivity, laxness, expressive encouragement, and emotion- and problem-focused reactions. Conclusions: Results provide some support for the effectiveness of the parenting program for reducing ADHD symptoms in preschool-aged children.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite its inherent joys, the challenges of parenting can produce considerable stress. These challenges multiply—and the quality of parenting suffers—when a parent or child has mental health issues, or when parents are in conflict. Even under optimal circumstances, the constant changes as children develop can tax parents' inner resources, often undoing the best intentions and parenting courses. Mindful Parenting: A Guide for Mental Health Practitioners offers an evidence-based, eight week structured mindfulness training program for parents with lasting benefits for parents and their children. Designed for use in mental health contexts, its methods are effective whether parents or children have behavioral or emotional issues. The program's eight sessions focus on mindfulness-oriented skills for parents, such as responding to (as opposed to reacting to) parenting stress, handling conflict with children or partners, fostering empathy, and setting limits. The book dovetails with other clinical mindfulness approaches, and is written clearly and accessibly so that professionals can learn the material easily and impart it to clients. Featured in the text: Detailed theoretical, clinical, and empirical foundations of the program. The complete Mindful Parenting manual with guidelines for eight sessions and a follow-up. Handouts and assignments for each session. Findings from clinical trials of the Mindful Parenting program. Perspectives from parents who have finished the course. Its clinical focus and empirical support make Mindful Parenting an invaluable tool for practitioners and clinicians in child, school, and family psychology, psychotherapy/counseling, psychiatry, social work, and developmental psychology.

This book was released on 2013-04-06 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a condition characterized by inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity, are most frequently identified and treated in primary school. Population studies indicate that 5 percent of children worldwide show impaired levels of attention and hyperactivity. Boys are classified with ADHD approximately twice as frequently as girls, and primary school-age children approximately twice as frequently as adolescents. ADHD symptoms exist on a continuum in the general population and are considered a “disorder” to a greater or lesser degree, depending on the source of identification (e.g., parent or teacher), extent of functional impairment, diagnostic criteria, and the threshold chosen for defining a “case.” The developmentally excessive levels of inattention, overactivity, and impulsivity characteristic of ADHD are present from an early age. However, preschoolers with early signs of ADHD may also have co-occurring oppositional noncompliant behaviors, temper tantrums, and aggression that overshadow symptoms of inattention and overactivity and confound the diagnosis. These behaviors may be given the more general label of disruptive behavior disorder (DBD), which includes oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) and conduct disorder (CD), as well as ADHD. If not already identified at an early age, preschool youngsters with ODD frequently meet criteria for ADHD by grade school. The purpose of this review is to (1) critically examine the effectiveness and adverse events of interventions in preschool children with clinically significant disruptive behavior and therefore at high risk for ADHD; (2) critically examine the comparative long-term effectiveness and adverse events of interventions for ADHD (pharmacological, psychosocial, or behavioral, and the combination of pharmacological and psychosocial or behavioral interventions); and (3) summarize what is known about patterns of identification and treatment for the condition. Factors to be examined include geography, sociodemographics, temporal aspects, and provider background. This systematic appraisal also identifies gaps in the existing literature that will inform directions for future research. The Key Questions (KQs) are as follows. KQ1. Among children younger than 6 years of age with ADHD or DBD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following treatment? KQ2. Among people 6 years of age or older with ADHD, what are the effectiveness and adverse event outcomes following 12 months or more of any combination of followup or treatment, including, but not limited to, 12 months or more of continuous treatment? KQ3. How do (a) underlying prevalence of ADHD and (b) rates of diagnosis (clinical identification) and treatment for ADHD vary by geography, time period, provider type, and sociodemographic characteristics?

This book was released on 2020-10-19 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective parenting is essential to the success of children with ADHD. At the same time, difficult child behavior contributes to parenting stress and often evokes harsh responses from caregivers, leading to increasing problems over time. What makes this process even more challenging is that ADHD and related problems-like executive functioning deficits, emotion dysregulation, and depression-run in families. It is difficult for parents to support a child's learning and social environment if they themselves struggle with disorganization, low motivation, poor planning, and other executive functioning difficulties. Supporting Caregivers of Children with ADHD integrates behavioral, cognitive, and emotion-focused intervention components into straightforward treatment for both parents and children. Sessions included in this therapist guide incorporate group discussion, modeling, role play, and home exercises that involve practicing behavioral parenting techniques and/or cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills. With the use of this manual, clinicians will gain the expertise to guide parents in effectively supporting their children's behavioral and emotional regulation by creating and maintaining a calm and consistent home environment.

This book was released on 2014 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a chronic disorder, and its symptoms are often treated with stimulant medication or behavioral intervention. Research has shown that parents of children with chronic conditions may experience increased stress or decreased self-efficacy related to the parenting role, making them less likely to be effective in managing their child’s behavior problems. Behavioral parent training interventions for ADHD, while focusing primarily on improving child behaviors, have demonstrated positive treatment outcomes both for children and parents. The current study examined parenting stress and self-efficacy outcomes following participation in a behavioral parent training approach for ADHD. Participants consisted of 43 primary caregivers of children ages seven to twelve who were referred to an outpatient hospital setting for behavioral intervention to address ADHD-related behavioral concerns. Participants completed the Parenting Stress Index, Self-Efficacy for Parenting Tasks Index, and the Behavior Assessment System for Children – Second Edition at two time points: prior to beginning a 10-week behavioral parent training program and upon completion of the intervention. The intervention employed BPT procedures specific to improving ADHD-related behavior management skills. Parent sessions focused on two main content areas: increasing awareness and knowledge of ADHD and developing effective behavioral skills for managing their child’s ADHD-related problems. This study employed a quasi-experimental design that examined changes in parenting after participation in their child’s behavior therapy. A single group, within- subjects model was applied to evaluate parents’ pre-post treatment effects. Further examination was conducted to determine if changes in parenting outcomes were related to children’s treatment response. A descriptive study was first conducted to gain a better understanding of families who participated in BPT. Primary analyses were conducted using General Linear Modeling (GLM) techniques. Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was used to examine changes in parents’ ratings of parenting stress and parenting self-efficacy from baseline to post-treatment. The independent variable was time, and dependent variables included parenting stress (PST) and parenting self-efficacy (PSE). Secondary analyses utilized paired-samples t-tests to explore PSE differences across the domains of Nurturance and Discipline. Ratings at baseline and post-treatment were compared to determine whether participation in BPT was associated with greater balance across these two self-efficacy domains. Finally, independent-samples t-tests were conducted in order to examine differences in parenting outcomes based on different child treatment responses (higher or lower responses). Results of primary analysis demonstrated a significant interaction between PST and PSE over time. When these dependent variables were considered separately, main effects suggested statistically significant changes from baseline to post-treatment for both PST and PSE. When considering parent outcomes based upon gender, notable differences emerged between mothers’ and fathers’ post-treatment ratings of PST and PSE. Mothers evidenced significant differences across the PSE domains of nurturance and discipline, first at baseline and again at post-treatment. However, mothers reported statistically significant and clinically meaningful improvements across both domains in response to BPT. No significant differences were observed between nurturance and discipline for fathers and change in PST and PSE was also unremarkable in response to BPT. With regard to parent outcomes based upon child treatment response, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced to become within the normal range at post- treatment reported significantly lower stress and higher self efficacy than those of children with continued impairments. These results demonstrated distinct benefits for parents who participated in BPT for their children with ADHD. In general, parents reported greater improvements in PSE compared to PST. These changes varied by parent gender, with statistically significant and clinically meaningful differences for mothers, but not for fathers. Finally, parents of children whose ADHD symptoms were reduced below a level of impairment showed the best outcomes regarding PST and PSE. Clinical implications for these results include possible changes to the duration of BPT and treatment objectives endeavored. Extending treatments to provide more time for symptom amelioration is recommended. Including treatment modules specifically providing strategies for stress management may result in even greater reductions in parents’ stress as well as better child outcomes from better parent implementation of behavioral methods. Additionally, these findings support flexibility regarding the duration of treatment in order to achieve ADHD symptom reduction to a level that is within normal limits, and thereby achieving greater BPT outcomes for both children and parents.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present, fewer than 30% of researchers worldwide are women. Long-standing biases and gender stereotypes are discouraging girls and women away from science-related fields, and STEM research in particular. Science and gender equality are, however, essential to ensure sustainable development as highlighted by UNESCO. In order to change traditional mindsets, gender equality must be promoted, stereotypes defeated, and girls and women should be encouraged to pursue STEM careers. Therefore, Frontiers in Psychiatry is proud to offer this platform to promote the work of women scientists, across all fields of Psychiatry. The work presented here highlights the diversity of research performed across the entire breadth of Psychiatry research and presents advances in theory, experiment, and methodology with applications to compelling problems. Please note: To be considered for this collection, the first or last author should be a researcher who identifies as a woman.
