The psychodynamic formulation in child and adolescent psychiatry.

DSM-III and DSM-III-R aid diagnostic clarity but do not help clinicians plan for common therapies available. A psychodynamic formulation has been described for adults to complement diagnosis and guide management. Child and adolescent psychiatrists would benefit if such a scheme were available for their use. Psychodynamic formulations based on current models are offered and their elements are described. Case vignettes and therapeutic plans are presented to show the practical value of a formal psychodynamic formulation, regardless of the treatment employed.

Thalassemic children's understanding of illness: a study of cognitive and emotional factors.

A study that explored children's understanding of the body and illness was conducted with 23 thalassemic outpatients and 27 healthy controls. The findings were supportive of a developmental progression in children's understanding that is reflective of their underlying cognitive maturity. Behavioral compliance was related to psychiatric adjustment. There was a trend toward poorer psychiatric adjustment in children with impaired understanding of their illness. These findings hold implications for both educational and psychiatric intervention with this group. Optimal health care of chronically ill children requires knowledge of the developmental course and interplay of children's cognition and their familial and personal adjustment.

Long-term follow-up of children with psychiatric disorders.

General psychiatrists' interest in childhood has been stimulated by the genetic aspect of dynamic psychiatry. The prospective developmental approach of child psychiatrists has been molded by developmental psychological theory, epidemiological approaches, and clinical experience with children who exhibit symptoms of psychopathology. The authors review follow-up data on children diagnosed as having attention deficit disorder, pervasive developmental disorder, autism, and conduct disorders. They also discuss the results of studies of subjects who, as children, were diagnosed as being hyperactive or neurotic, or who experienced language delay.
