Parenting concepts and experiences of adults abandoned as infants
Parental concepts are crucial in understanding family, relationships and psychological functioning of parents. How these evolve and manifest may vary according to family and personal experience. This study of adults who were abandoned as infants explores three perspectives—their concepts of their biological parents who have abandoned them, their concepts of their adoptive parents who have raised them and finally their concepts of themselves as pa…
Interventions to improve psychosocial well-being for children affected by HIV and Aids
In addition to its contribution to child mortality, HIV/AIDS has a substantial impact on the psychosocial well-being of children across the globe and particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. We conducted a systematic review of the literature in order to identify studies that assess the effectiveness of interventions developed to improve the psychosocial well-being of children affected by HIV/AIDS, published between January 2008 and February 2016. Stud…

Using a pilot trial design in an HIV care clinic in Zimbabwe, we randomised 32 adults with poor adherence to antiretroviral therapy and at least mild depression to either six sessions of Problem-Solving Therapy for adherence and depression (PST-AD) delivered by an adherence counsellor, or to Enhanced Usual Care (Control). Acceptability of PST-AD was high, as indicated by frequency of session attendance and through qualitative analyses of exit int…

Developmental challenges in HIV infected children—An updated systematic review
Children with HIV infection are at risk of developmental and behavioural challenges. A systematic review in 2009 set out the extent of delay documented in HIV positive children. This study presents an update and re-analysis. Full searches were conducted in Medline, Cochrane Database and PsycINFO, from which reviewers selected abstracts and followed references to provide detailed studies on HIV and cognitive performance in children under 18 to cov…
