Early childhood deprivation and the impact of negative life events on mental health in later life
There was no evidence that early severe institutional deprivation increased susceptibility to depression and anxiety following exposure to independent or dependent LE in general. However, it appeared to sensitize adolescents to the effects of peer-related LE specifically. We discuss possible mechanisms by which difficulties in peer relations might influence the emergence of depression and anxiety to already vulnerable individuals
Neurodevelopmental problems in adulthood following severe early deprivation
Severe, prolonged early deprivation is associated with later neurodevelopmental difficulties. Despite elevated levels of contact with service providers, these problems often persist into adult life and are associated with impairment in adulthood (e.g., unemployment, higher rates of depression and anxiety symptoms and poorer subjective wellbeing). Here, we aimed to explore the ongoing service needs and experiences of adoptees and their parents fro…
Social relationships in adults who were adopted following institutional deprivation
Research examining the effects of severe, prolonged early deprivation has shown elevated rates of neurodevelopmental symptoms, which frequently persist into adulthood and are associated with functional and social relationship difficulties, as well as elevated rates of mental health problems. The behavioural manifestations of these symptoms closely resemble those of ADHD and also ASD. Here, we used qualitative methods to explore and characterise t…
The adult outcome of childhood quasi‐autism arising following extreme institutional deprivation
BACKGROUND: Rutter and colleagues' seminal observation that extended early life exposure to extreme institutional deprivation can result in what he termed quasi-autism (QA), informed both our understanding of the effects of adversity on development and the nature of autism. Here we provide the first detailed analysis of the adult outcomes of the group of institutionally deprived-then-adopted children identified as displaying QA. METHODS: Twenty-s…
When people adopted from severely depriving institutions become parents
It has been reported that adult adoptees with histories of maltreatment face particular challenges when they become parents. Here we explore this issue using a qualitative analysis of the views of 14 adoptee mothers, who suffered severe institutional deprivation in the Romanian orphanages of the late 1980s before being adopted into the UK, and their adoptive parents. Following a thematic analysis, we report several perceived benefits of becoming …
Why does early childhood deprivation increase the risk for depression and anxiety in adulthood? A developmental cascade model
BACKGROUND: Using data from the English & Romanian Adoptees (ERA) study, we recently reported that early time-limited exposure to severe institutional deprivation is associated with early-onset and persistent neurodevelopmental problems and later-onset emotional problems. Here, we examine possible reasons for the late emergence of emotional problems in this cohort. Our main focus is on testing a developmental cascade mediated via the functional i…

Child-to-adult neurodevelopmental and mental health trajectories after early life deprivation
BACKGROUND: Time-limited, early-life exposures to institutional deprivation are associated with disorders in childhood, but it is unknown whether effects persist into adulthood. We used data from the English and Romanian Adoptees study to assess whether deprivation-associated adverse neurodevelopmental and mental health outcomes persist into young adulthood. METHODS: The English and Romanian Adoptees study is a longitudinal, natural experiment in…
A Comparison of the Monty Roberts Technique with a Conventional UK Technique for Initial Training of Riding Horses
This study describes a comparison of the efficacy of the Monty Roberts horsemanship technique (MRT) in comparison with a UK conventional training technique (CT) for the initial training of horses. The sample consisted of 14 untrained horses, between 3 and 5 years old, sourced from a variety of non-competition yards in the UK. Horses were matched on temperament and randomly assigned to either the MRT group or the CT group. Each trainer was allowed…
The Transformation of Egyptian Islamists
During the 1990s, Egyptian society faced an upsurge of violent Islamist attacks by various jihadist inspired groups in which over a thousand people died. In the midst of increasing government suppression and public disgust at these terrorist attacks, other Islamist groups, such as the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) sought to re-orientate their dialogue and strategy towards a more pluralistic rhetoric. Concepts such as human rights, political pluralism a…
Getting Counted
Firms that do not fit into established business categories tend to be overlooked, but new markets often form around these "misfits." Because being seen as part of a growing population makes new populations seem real, counting them is important to mainstreaming new markets. Yet, if firms outside the mainstream are overlooked, how can they be counted? Extending the embeddedness perspective to social cognition about markets, this research exposes th…

Fast Lanes
Traffic congestion costs the United States more than $67 billion annually. Over the next 25 years, this problem will be exacerbated as traffic is expected to double. One approach to dealing with these problems is simple, straightforward, and fair. The Freeing Alternatives for Speedy Transportation (FAST) Act repeals prohibitions in federal law in order to permit expansion of congested interstate corridors paid for by user-fees. With the FAST Act,…
