[Hindrances in systemically oriented counseling practice at child guidance clinics].

In general child guidance centres are considered as a good context for systemic orientated therapy. Therefore critical publications of this institutional context for systemic therapy are very seldom. The author describes three important factors which influence the therapeutic system. By analysing the wishes of clients, the way child guidance centres are integrated in the local system of helping and specific team processes, systemic orientated counsellors shall come to a realistic sight of their therapeutic possibilities.

Co-sleeping and clinical correlates in children seen at a child guidance clinic.

INTRODUCTION: Co-sleeping or bed-sharing is a common practice that has been little researched. While often viewed as being "cultural" in nature, there is a suggestion that it may be a parental response to sleep problems. Some studies link co-sleeping with behavioural and temperamental difficulties. The objectives of the current study were to determine the prevalence of co-sleeping and how they relate to sleeping problems among a cohort of children and adolescents seen in a child guidance clinic. METHODS: Parents or guardians of all new patients seen at the child guidance clinic were asked to complete a questionnaire upon their consent to participate in the study. The questionnaire included socio-demographical data and frequency of sleep problems in the past six months. A list of nine common sleep problems was included. RESULTS: The prevalence of co-sleeping was found to be 72.7 percent. The children who co-sleep were significantly younger and there was a decrease in the practice with increasing age. Sleep starts and nightmares were significantly more among those sleeping alone. CONCLUSION: Co-sleeping was not associated with significant sleep problems in our cohort. Co-sleeping may have been initiated in response to an existing sleep problem but eventually resolved the problem. If co-sleeping is not permitted, the sleep problem could be compounded, giving rise to a higher prevalence of sleep starts and nightmares among those in our cohort who slept alone.

A study of psychiatrically normal children in a hospital based child guidance clinic.

A total of 1330 children who attended a hospital-based child guidance clinic in last three years were studied retrospectively. 7.37% of these were found to have no psychiatric disorder. Epilepsy and scholastic backwardness without any psychiatric disorder, together constituted 70.41% of this group. Children referred to a child guidance clinic require proper assessment to detect psychiatrically normal children who would otherwise receive unnecessary label of psychiatric disorder and treatment.
