AI Article Synopsis
- Behavioral disorders are common in children and adolescents, and while psychodynamic psychotherapies are used to treat them, their effectiveness has not been widely studied until now.
- A study involving 26 participants evaluated the impact of 25 sessions of psychodynamic short-term psychotherapy (PSTP), showing significant improvements in the treatment group compared to a waiting list group, particularly in the Impairment-Score for Children and Adolescents.
- Around 31% of the treatment group experienced notable clinical improvement, and the results indicate that while PSTP is effective, some children may require more intensive or longer-term treatments.
Article Abstract
Behavioral disorders represent one of the most frequent mental disorders in children and adolescents. Even though psychodynamic psychotherapies are often used to treat behavioral disorders, to date, its efficacy has rarely been empirically evaluated. The aim of the study therefore was to evaluate psychodynamic short-term psychotherapy (PSTP) for children and adolescents with behavioral disorders. By means of a waiting-list controlled study, 26 children and adolescents fulfilling diagnosis of behavioral disorders were examined. The treatment group received 25 sessions of psychodynamic psychotherapy. Primary criterion of outcome was the Impairment-Score for Children and Adolescents (IS-CA). Furthermore, the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) and the Psychic and Social-Communicative Findings Sheet for Children and Adolescents (PSCFS-CA) were administered at the beginning and end of the treatment. The statistical as well as the clinical significance of changes during treatment were analysed. It could be shown, that the treatment group improved significantly more in the Impairment-Score for children and adolescents (IS-CA) compared to the waiting group. The effect size of the IS-CA total score was 0,6. 31% of the children in the treatment group improved clinically significantly or according to the criterion of Reliable Change, whereas that was the case only for 8 % of the subject in the waiting list condition. A significant advantage was found for the therapy group in the PSCFS-CA. Effect sizes were between 0.8 and 1.4. In the CBCL significant improvement could be shown for the treatment and control group however only with small effects. These results substantiate that psychodynamic short-term psychotherapy (PSTP) is an effective intervention for children and adolescents with behavioral disorders. However, the findings also show that some of the children and adolescents are in need of a more intensive or long-term treatment.

Introduction: Dyslipidemia is characterized by changes in lipid and lipoprotein levels in the blood where phospholipid transfer protein (PLTP) helps to regulate and modulate the size of high-density lipoproteins (HDL), working on the reverse transport of cholesterol. ApoA-1 is the primary protein component of HDL, and certain genetic variants like rs5072, have been associated with hypertriglyceridemia in children. This study aimed to explore the association between PLTP concentrations and the effect of the genetic variant APOA1 rs5072 on hypertriglyceridemia and atherogenic dyslipidemia (AD) in the pediatric population of Southeastern Mexico.

Using data from the 2014 China Family Panel Studies (CFPS), this study finds that when mothers hold dominant positions in their children's educational decisions, they are more likely to adopt a "tiger mom" approach. This dynamic explains why maternal dominance in educational decisions significantly enhances adolescents' cognitive abilities while hindering their non-cognitive skills. We propose time investment, material investment, and parenting styles as channel variables that offer a more comprehensive explanation.

Sound-induced flash illusion (SiFI) is an auditory-dominant multisensory illusion that can be used to assess multisensory integration. Although previous studies have shown that one-time intervention exercise training does not significantly affect SiFI, the long-term improvement of SiFI with exercise training remains controversial. In the present study, the classical SiFI paradigm was used to investigate the effects of long-term exercise training on the SiFI.
