Both offer a the degree of consistency and reliability of the CDI name however the standard or long form is the most comprehensive and offers administrators the most comprehensive information for diagnosis and treatment plans (Benet, 2005). Compare and Contrast Child depression inventory is used to view symptoms severity and there are several scales that are used to screen a child for depression. According to the Journal of Clinical Child Psychology (Murphy, Marelich, & Hoffman, 2000), depression must be tested using dual construct, single construct and unrelated dual construct and higher order of analysis to understand the different factors that can effect testing out comes. A study was conducted on youth that had a mother with HIV to show the difference between anxiety and depression as it relates to environment. Eighty-six mothers with their children, with the average age being eight, answered questions such as
Depression and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy i Depression and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Your Name Course Information Professor May 2013 Depression and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy i Abstract Depression is a common psychological problem that has both physical and mental symptoms. “Some authorities have estimated that at least 12% of the population have had or will have an episode of depression of sufficient clinical severity to warrant treatment” (Beck, 1979). Some of the features of depression include negative thought processes and loss of concentration or memory. Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) has emerged as one of the most promising treatments for the problem of depression. CBT has many advantages in treating depression, such as helping patients recognize and address negative thoughts.
Back to Berkeley: High School Students Struggle With Stress, Depression By ELIZABETH HOPPERSpecial to the Planet Friday August 26, 2005 Bookmark and Share Most adults know that being a high school student isn’t easy. However, many would be surprised to learn that the vast majority of teenagers are becoming depressed and losing sleep over problems that are much less superficial than fashion or the high scho ol social scene. Bay Area psychologist Dr. Anita Barrows, who has 25 years of experience counseling children and adolescents, estimates that 60 to 70 percent of teenagers are affected negatively by stress. According to psychologists, stress can have a variety of effects on teenagers. Although the most common effects of stress are insomnia, stomachaches, headaches, anxiety, and irritability, stress can also be a major factor in depression and eating disorders.
Teenage drinking and driving fatalities have been going down, but it is still one of the leading causes of deaths in adolescents. Parents and peers are predictors of how the children they are a role model to behave once they grow up to make their own
Insecure attachment as a causative factor leading to depression symptoms in adolescents In Australia it is believed that around 20% of adolescents will have experienced significant symptoms of depression and about 5% severe enough to require extensive treatment (National Health and Medical Research Council. Depression in Young People: Clinical Practice Guidelines. Canberra: Australian Government Publishing Service, 1997). In an attempt to identify and understand the development of depression in adolescence, cognitive- interpersonal approaches in particular attachment theory have been used, (Lee & Hankin, 2009). With past studies having indicated a significant correlation between attachment and the development of depressive problems in adolescence
ICD-9 had a category for disturbance of emotions specific to childhood and adolescent, with misery and unhappiness, and Puura et al (1997) have shown that such children suffer social impairment. Follow up studies of prepubertal children referred with this presentation showed a moderately increased risk of adult type depression later on, whereas adolescents with depressive symptoms had a higher risk of adult depression ( Harrington et al, 1990). Genetic studies show that symptoms of depression in prepubertal children are predominantly due to environmental influences, whereas after puberty genetic influences become more important (Thapar & Mc Guffin, 1994). This example shows that misery in younger children has some phenomenological features and external correlates in common with adult
Emotional trauma at a time when the brain isn't fully developed may cause changes to the brain and decrease a person's ability to deal with stressful situations later in their life. The hope is that this paper will enlighten the reader in regard to how negative events in the early stages of development can severely affect the person in maturity. CHILD ABUSE AND ITS EFFECTS ON DEVELOPMENT 3 Child Abuse and its Effects on Development Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development is one of the best theories of personality in psychology. Erikson believed that personality develops in a series of stages. Erikson's theory describes the impact of social experience across one's life span.
sexes in the same program. Further, it is likely useful to keep potential perpetrators unaware of women’s resistance strategies, and mixed-sex programs could provide potential rapists with information about what makes women more vulnerable to assault. Single-sex programming, designed for the specific needs of women, is also likely to lead to more participant interactions, feelings of greater comfort, and reductions in anxiety or defensiveness (Gidycz, Loh, & Rich, 2003). Additionally, given the overall rather limited evidence for the effectiveness of mixed-sex programming efforts, we believe that a more fruitful approach is to gear programming toward single-sex audiences. Gidycz and her colleagues have been involved over the past decade in systematically developing and evaluating a risk-reduction program for college women.
Running head: Issues: Adolescents Current Issues in Life-Span Development: Adolescents and Risk Taking Behavior Paper Jessica Duplantis University of Phoenix Abstract Researchers have studied the brain to determine the factors leading to adolescents and risk taking behaviors. Studies have determined that the limbic system structures and the pre-frontal cortex of the brains in adolescents are not fully developed. These brain structures are linked to pleasure seeking activities and judgment and since these parts of the brain are not fully developed in adolescent they exhibit higher levels of risk taking behavior. Adults must supervise adolescents and provide more guidance to enable adolescents to make better judgments in order to provide a better path into adulthood. Current Issues in Life-Span Development: Adolescents and Risk Taking Behavior Over the past few years researchers have studied the brains of adolescents and are finding a great deal of insight into why adolescents exhibit risk taking behaviors.
The attitude young adults have in terms of a relationship with a significant other can be different levels of expectations. Young adults pick up their relationship behavior from observing their parents interactions. As a result, this is where young adults start to develop their attitude and opinion towards marriage and divorce. Adults that have gone through parental divorce in their early childhood tend to enter a relationship with higher expectations for the partner and the success of the relationship itself. Experiencing a parental divorce, young adults see divorce as a solution to a problematic marriage.
