[Children of homoparental families: psychological and sexual development].
Minerva Pediatr
April 2005
Dipartimento di Psicologia, Università degli Studi di Palermo, Palermo.
Aim: In the last few years some studies have been made about homosexual parenthood and especially if this interferes with the child's development, identity and future sexual tendency. These studies prove that the parents' homosexuality does not seem to compromise the child's psychosexual development and that the child's possible homosexuality does not depend on the parents' sexual behaviour but on different factors linked to the relationship; as a matter of fact there are no relevant differences in the occurrence of homosexuality in children born from homosexual and heterosexual parents. The present study investigated the psychological and sexual development in a group of children of homoparental family.

This paper concerns the development of a diagnostic procedure for learning disorders, in line with a multifactorial approach in which the contributions of the organic and psychogenetic points of view are integrated to form a common interpretative model. The aim is to identify strategies for intervening at different levels. We examined 10 patients with learning disorders which came consecutively to our Division of Child Neuropsychiatry and an equal number of control subjects which were as old as the patients and begin school at the correct age.

The present study investigates, with patient interviews, psychodiagnostic tests (Rorschach, Blacky pictures, Thematic Apperception test, drawings, Wechsler) and parental interviews in 20 pediatric migraine subjects. In 85% of the cases, a condition of repressed anger preceding the attack is seen.
