Working with Parents: A Mentalization-Based Framework.

This article presents a mentalization-based treatment (MBT) framework for working with parents that fosters the emergence of mentalization in a context grounded in relational and developmental points of view. A basic premise of this framework is that mentalization and epistemic trust provide protective factors for parents during moments of family stress, promoting the parents' capacity to negotiate the developmental tasks of parenting, as these tasks interact with both their inner world and the external realities of an ethnically and racially diverse, gendered culture.

The child and family traumatic stress intervention: Factors associated with symptom reduction for children receiving treatment.

Objective: We examine factors associated with changes in posttraumatic stress symptoms for children following completion of an early and brief, trauma-focused mental health treatment that engages children together with their caregivers, with the child as the identified patient.

Method: The Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention (CFTSI), a brief (5-8 session) trauma-focused mental health treatment designed to reduce trauma symptoms in the aftermath of traumatic experiences in children aged 7 years and older. CFTSI has been widely disseminated in Child Advocacy Centers (CAC) and community treatment clinics nationally.

The experience of anaesthesiology care providers in temporary intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic in France: a qualitative study.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, care providers (CPs) worldwide grappled with the extraordinary number of severely ill patients with high fatality rates. The objective of this study is to explore the experience of anaesthesiology CPs in temporary intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic's first wave.

Methods: CPs were interviewed at a university hospital in Paris, France.

Clinical Lycanthropy, Neurobiology, Culture: A Systematic Review.

Culture can affect psychiatric disorders. Clinical Lycanthropy is a rare syndrome, described since Antiquity, within which the patient has the delusional belief of turning into a wolf. Little is known on its clinical or therapeutic correlates.

Implementing organicity investigations in early psychosis: Spreading expertise.

Background: Many medical disorders may contribute to adolescent psychoses. Although guidelines for thorough organicity investigations (OI) exist, their dissemination appears scarce in nonacademic healthcare facilities and some rare disorders remain undiagnosed, many of them presenting without easily recognized phenotypes. This study aims to understand the challenges underlying the implementation of OI in non-academic facilities by practitioners trained in expert centers.

Child and family traumatic stress intervention (CFTSI) reduces parental posttraumatic stress symptoms: A multi-site meta-analysis (MSMA).

Background: Following traumatization, caregiver support is a crucial factor contributing to children's successful management of posttraumatic reactions and their recovery. Caregivers who have been traumatically impacted themselves, however, may be compromised in this posttraumatic caregiving role. Although there are a number of evidence-based child trauma treatments that are effective in reducing children's trauma symptoms, the impact of child treatment on participating caregiver's posttraumatic symptoms (PTS) has received less attention.

Restricted and Repetitive Behaviors as Predictors of Outcome in Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Questions have been raised about the significance of restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) in predicting outcomes of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASDs). Previous studies have yielded mixed findings, but some suggest that the presence of RRBs during preschool years is a negative prognostic indicator for later childhood. This study examined the effect of RRBs at ages 1-2 and 3-5 years on cognitive functioning, adaptive abilities, and ASD symptomatology at age 8-10 years in 40 children with ASDs.

Systematic review and meta-analysis of pharmacological treatment of the symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder in children with pervasive developmental disorders.

Many children with pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) exhibit behaviors and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). We sought to determine the relative efficacy of medications for treating ADHD symptoms in children with PDD by identifying all double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials examining the efficacy of medications for treating ADHD symptoms in children with PDD. We located seven trials involving 225 children.
