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 Parenting and Child Development

Download or read book Parenting and Child Development written by Dr Nicole Letourneau and published by Waterside Press. This book was released on 2020-09-09 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, parenting research has demonstrated that toxic stressors such as intimate partner violence, postpartum depression, and substance abuse significantly diminish the quality of mother-child interaction. Moreover, research has shown that childhood is a sensitive period, during which cumulative exposure to adversities inhibits relationship quality, mother-child interaction and subsequent child health and developmental outcomes. Researchers have focused upon identifying populations at risk and interventions to improve related outcomes. Parenting and Child Development: Issues and Answers encompasses a collection of seminal studies by renowned researcher Dr Nicole Letourneau. The book starts with an examination of the mechanisms by which parent-child interaction and child developmental outcomes are diminished among high-risk families. Promising results of peer support and reflective functioning interventions to promote parent-child interaction and healthy child development are then presented. Finally, the book includes studies that investigate the relationship between genetics, parent-child relationships and child behaviour. A unique collection of research papers that focuses on improving the quality of mother-child interaction and child developmental outcomes among high-risk populations. Demonstrates the efficacy and importance of related interventions.

Book Representations of Toddler  Self  and Caregiver in Mothers with and Without Major Depressive Disorder and Their Relation to Child Socioemotional Functioning Over a One year Follow up Period

Download or read book Representations of Toddler Self and Caregiver in Mothers with and Without Major Depressive Disorder and Their Relation to Child Socioemotional Functioning Over a One year Follow up Period written by Julie Ann Gravener-Davis and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 140 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purposes of the current study were 1) to develop coding systems to assess maternal Expressed Emotion (EE) toward self (Self EE) and one's own mother (Mother EE) and test the construct validity of these coding systems; 2) to examine differences between depressed and nondepressed mothers of young children on Self EE, Mother EE and EE towards the child (Child EE); 3) to examine the indirect paths between maternal depression and child socio-emotional functioning assessed one year later via Child, Self and Mother EE; and 4) to examine maternal positive representations of child as a moderator of the association between maternal depression and child socioemotional functioning. Participants were mothers who had experienced a major depressive episode (n = 144) since the child's birth and non-disordered comparison mothers (n = 62) and their children. Assessments included Five Minute Speech Sample (Child, Self, and Mother EE); Attachment Q Sort (child attachment security and dependency); Child Behavior Checklist (child behavior problems); Positive and Negative Affect Schedule-child version (child negative affect); Diagnostic Interview Schedule-IV (maternal depression); Beck Depression Inventory-II (maternal depression); Revised Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (maternal depression); Perceptions of Adult Attachment Questionnaire (maternal representation of mother); Maternal Self-Efficacy Scale (maternal self representations). Maternal depression and EE were assessed at baseline when offspring were 12 months of age, and indicators of child socioemotional functioning were assessed when children were 12 and 24 months of age; analyses were conducted on baseline data with the exception of the mediational analyses for which longitudinal data was utilized. Support was found for the construct validity of Mother EE; mixed support was found for the construct validity of Self EE. Depressed mothers had higher levels of EE with regard to their child, themselves and their own mother. Maternal positive representations of the child did not emerge as a significant moderator. There was a significant indirect relation between maternal baseline depression and child negative affect at follow-up via EE-Criticism regarding own mother. The latter finding highlights the importance of relational interventions that focus on maternal representations of their own parents, specifically Child-Parent Psychotherapy, for depressed women and their children"--Pages ix-x.

Book The Role of Play in Child Assessment and Intervention

Download or read book The Role of Play in Child Assessment and Intervention written by Silvia Salcuni and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2017-09-06 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Play is a ubiquitous and universal aspect of early childhood. Although it may take different forms throughout development and across cultures, decades of research have found play to be related to important, positive outcomes. Play provides children with valuable cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal learning opportunities. It can act as a mode of communication for young children and allows them to practice ways of managing complex interpersonal interactions. Specific aspects of play, such as children’s creativity in pretend play, have been associated with resilience and coping. The significance of play in childhood has led to its frequent use in the assessment of child development and in the implementation of child and parent-child psychological and educational interventions. Historically, however, the validity and efficacy of these interventions have not been rigorously evaluated. Further, few assessment and intervention models have included parents, teachers, and other key caregivers, but have focused only on the child. This Research Topic will bring together the most current literature on the use of play in child assessment and intervention.

Book Parenting Beliefs  Behaviors  and Parent Child Relations

Download or read book Parenting Beliefs Behaviors and Parent Child Relations written by Kenneth H. Rubin and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-09-05 with total page 239 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book, is to present a rather simple argument. Parents' thoughts about childrearing and the ways in which they interact with children to achieve particular parenting or developmental goals, are culturally determined. Within any culture, children are shaped by the physical and social settings within which they live, culturally regulated customs and childrearing practices, and culturally based belief systems. The psychological "meaning" attributed to any given social behavior is, in large part, a function of the ecological niche within which it is produced. Clearly, it is the case that there are some cultural universals. All parents want their children to be healthy and to feel secure. However, "healthy" and "unhealthy," at least in the psychological sense of the term, can have different meanings from culture to culture.

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 Contemporary Perspectives on Socialization and Social Development in Early Childhood Education

Download or read book Contemporary Perspectives on Socialization and Social Development in Early Childhood Education written by Olivia Saracho and published by IAP. This book was released on 2007-05-01 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this volume is to present a selection of chapters that reflect current issues relating to children’s socialization processes that help them become successful members of their society. From birth children are unique in their rates of growth and development, including the development of their social awareness and their ability to interact socially. They interpret social events based on their developing life style and environmental experiences. The children’s socialization is influenced by several important social forces including the family and its organization, their peer group, and the significant others in their lives. In “Theories of Socialization and Social Development,” Olivia Saracho and Bernard Spodek describe the children’s socialization forces and the different developmental theories that have influenced our understanding of the socialization process. These include maturationist theory (developed by Arnold Gesell), constructivist theories (developed by such theorists as Jean Piaget, Lev S. Vygotsky, and Jerome Bruner), psychodynamic theories (developed by such theorists as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Alfred Adler), and ecological theory (developed by Urie Bronfenbrenner). Each theory provides interpretations of the meaning of the children’s social development and describes the different characteristics for each age group in the developmental sequences.

Book Developmental Psychopathology and Family Process

Download or read book Developmental Psychopathology and Family Process written by E. Mark Cummings and published by Guilford Publications. This book was released on 2020-09-15 with total page 515 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developmental psychopathology seeks to unravel the complex connections among biological, psychological, and social-contextual aspects of normal and abnormal development. This volume presents the core and cutting-edge principles of the field in an integrative, accessible manner. The investigatory lens is focused on the primary context in which children develop--the family. Reviewing current research in such areas as attachment and parenting styles, marital functioning, and parental depression, the volume examines how these variables may influence developmental processes across a range of domains and, in turn, predict the emergence of clinical problems. Illuminated are the interplay of risk and protective factors, biological and contextual influences, and continuous and discontinuous patterns of development in childhood and adolescence. Also considered in depth are the ways in which the developmental psychopathology perspective points to new directions in diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of child emotional and behavioral disorders. Featuring a wealth of figures, tables, and illustrative vignettes, this is a valuable source book for practititioners, scholars, and other professionals in mental health and related disciplines. It will also serve as a text in graduate-level courses on developmental psychopathology and clinical child psychology.
