Betrayal Trauma in Adolescent Inpatients
Betrayal Trauma in Adolescent Inpatients
For 34 hospitalized adolescents sexual distress was associated with histories of abuse by family members as compared to nonabuse or abuse by others, while posttraumatic stress was not
Adolescent Inpatients' History of Abuse and Dissociative Identity Disorder
Presence of features of Dissociative Identity Disorder, as assessed on the Dissociative Experiences Scale, studied in relation to history of abuse (physical and sexual) with 49 hospitalized adolescents, showed a significant association
Depression and Dissociation as Features of Borderline Personality Disorder in Hospitalized Adolescents
26 adolescents showing Borderline Personality Disorder were compared with 12 carrying other diagnoses to clarify associated features of these conditions. In line with recent literature, the borderline adolescents evidenced significant depression and dissociation, suggesting the importance of evaluating instability of mood (versus thinking) and weak continuity in self-experience when identifying and treating this disorder
Dissociation and Somatization in Adolescent Inpatients with and without History of Abuse
33 adolescents were tested for signs of dissociation and somatization as these processes relate to histories of physical and sexual abuse, a characteristic of over half of patients admitted for acute psychiatric disorder. Analysis suggested that the 19 adolescents having histories of abuse were more likely to score higher on dissociation and somatization
Differential Diagnostics and Treatment of an Inpatient Adolescent Showing Pervasive Developmental Disorder and Mania
A study of a 16.8-yr.-old female is presented to highlight aspects of Asperger's Syndrome as distinguished from cognate developmental and mood disorders. Brief therapy and pharmacological implications are mentioned
Association between History of Abuse and Borderline Personality Disorder for Hospitalized Adolescent Girls
Records of 38 hospitalized female adolescents were analyzed to evaluate the relationship between a history of earlier physical and/or sexual abuse and borderline personality. Those with histories of abuse were significantly more likely to score as Borderline Personality Disorder when assessed by the Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines—Revised
Applicability of the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines to Hospitalized Adolescents
Administration of the Revised Diagnostic Interview for Borderlines to 14 adolescent girls showed that the 10 who had chart diagnoses of Borderline Personality Disorder or such features earned significantly higher scores than the 4 nonborderline adolescents. The small sample warrants replication but results suggest the interview seems appropriate in research with adolescent girls
Case Study of a Conduct-Disordered Youngster
The classification of Conduct Disorder, sometimes seen as a nonspecific designation descriptive of antisocial behavior, is illuminated through case study of a youngster admitted for acute hospital treatment. Drawing on psychodynamic theory and treatment, principles are used in illustrating how individual, historical, family, and trauma factors may contribute to disordered self-esteem and behavior, which may become a focus of therapeutic intervent…
Language in Differential Diagnosis of a Teenage Schizophrenic Girl with Aspects of Multiple Personality
Diagnosis of a teenage schizophrenic girl showed many features of her language and behavior mimicked the presentation of a Dissociative Personality Disorder. These aspects were secondary to the primary schizophrenic disorder and treated via a multimodal approach combining pharmacotherapy, individual, family, and milieu therapy. Implications are drawn for tailoring verbal interventions to such overdetermined conditions
Treatment of an Identity-Diffused Adolescent on an Acute Inpatient Unit
The case of an adolescent hospitalized on an Acute Inpatient Unit following a suicide attempt is presented. Aspects of the patient's clinical presentation, specifically highly variable behaviors that eventuated in three recurring personality constellations, are linked to the youth's history of physical abuse. Interpretations of the boy's behaviors and treatment strategies are illustrated for consideration in work with other youth suffering histor…
Animistic Thinking in Psychotic versus Conduct-Disordered Hospitalized Adolescents
25 adolescents showing a Psychotic-spectrum Disorder were compared with 24 adolescents showing Conduct Disorder on a task eliciting reasons for attributing life to an ambiguous pictorial stimulus (dough on a beach). Consistent with expectations from earlier research, the psychotic adolescents showed greater modes of animistic thinking (attributions of life to nonlife forms) than conduct-disordered youth, associated with theorized merging between …
Correlations of Beck Depression Inventory and Reynolds Adolescent Depression Scale
The scores of 15 adolescents who had a primary diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, 21 of Conduct Disorder, and 23 control subjects on the Beck and Reynolds depression scales were correlated .58 over-all, .73 for the Posttraumatic group, .48 for the Conduct Disordered group, but .37 for controls. The Reynolds scale did not identify depression in these adolescents as effectively as did the Beck scale
Symptom Correlates among Adolescents Showing Posttraumatic Stress Disorder versus Conduct Disorder
21 adolescents with a primary diagnosis of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, 24 Conduct Disordered, and 23 control adolescents were compared on measures of depression, anxiety, behavior problems, and fears. Analyses showed that posttraumatic adolescents showed associated symptoms of depression and state-anxiety, Conduct Disordered adolescents showed depressive trends, and both groups were evaluated by their teachers as showing significant behavior p…

Birth Seasonality in Developmentally Disabled Children
26 children with diagnoses of autism and 22 children with diagnoses of childhood schizophrenia or a variant thereof were compared on the variable of winter birth. Analyses showed that autistic children had a higher proportion of winter births than schizophrenic children. These findings are related to other research linking winter birth to negative-syndrome adult schizophrenia
Symbol Use by Developmentally Disabled Children
13 children with a diagnosis of autism and 20 children with a diagnosis of childhood schizophrenia or a variant thereof were compared for skill in symbol use across modalities of expressive language, drawing, gesture, and play. The children were also given the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test—Revised as a measure of receptive comprehension. Analysis showed that the autistic children had poorer receptive language than the schizophrenic children. Th…
