Article Synopsis
- * A survey identified 31 unique FND treatment centers across 16 states, predominantly outpatient, with psychologists playing a key role in the care teams and a focus on cognitive behavioral therapy.
- * There is significant variability in treatment methods and aftercare support among centers, highlighting the need for more research to standardize and improve access to FND treatments for children.
Background: Psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES) are a common type of functional neurological disorder in which patients experience seizurelike episodes. Health disparities based on race and socioeconomics, documented in children with epilepsy and adults with PNES, have not been reported in children and adolescents with PNES. We hypothesize that disparities exist in this population, which impact overall care and therefore influence outcomes.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFObjective: From a developmental systems perspective, the origins of maladjusted behavior are multifaceted, interdependent, and may differ at different points in development. Personality traits influence developmental outcomes, as do socialization environments, but the influence of personality depends on the socialization environment, and the influence of the socialization environment varies according to personality. The present study takes a developmental systems approach to investigate pathways through which dispositional traits in childhood might act in concert with peer and parental socialization contexts to predict trajectories of intimate partner aggression (IPA) during emerging adulthood.

Methods: Adolescents and caregivers participated in a diabetes problem-solving discussion. Families were rated on negative and positive communication and interactions using the Interaction Behavior Code.
