Patterns of sub‐optimal change following CBT for childhood anxiety
BACKGROUND: Children and adolescents demonstrate diverse patterns of symptom change and disorder remission following cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders. To better understand children who respond sub-optimally to CBT, this study investigated youths (N = 1,483) who continued to meet criteria for one or more clinical anxiety diagnosis immediately following treatment or at any point during the 12 months following treatment. MET…
Parental Scaffolding during Book-Sharing Predicts Child General Intelligence
First 1,000 days
BACKGROUND: Child cognitive development is often compromised in contexts of poverty and adversity, and these deficits tend to endure and affect the child across the life course. In the conditions of poverty and violence that characterise many low- and middle-income countries (LMIC), the capacity of parents to provide the kind of care that promotes good child development may be severely compromised, especially where caregivers suffer from depressi…
Effects of training parents in dialogic book‐sharing
Shared picture-book reading is well-recognized as beneficial for children's early language development, especially where “dialogic book-sharing” techniques are used. Possible benefits of dialogic book-sharing to other aspects of child development have been little investigated, and it has not been widely studied in European populations. We conducted a randomized trial of dialogic book-sharing in Children's Centers in the UK, with parents of 2- to-…
Book-Sharing for Parenting and Child Development in South Africa
This study evaluated the impact of a parenting intervention on children’s cognitive and socioemotional development in a group of caregivers and their 21-to-28-month-old children in a low-income South African township. A randomized controlled trial compared an experimental group (n = 70) receiving training in dialogic book-sharing (8 weekly group sessions) with a wait-list control group (n = 70). They were assessed before the intervention, immedia…
Sculpting Culture
Mother-infant interactions, including culturally specific features, have been found to predict child socio-emotional development (e.g., social communication and emotion regulation (ER)). However, research is lacking on the specific processes involved. We used a cross-cultural, longitudinal design, and a microanalytic coding approach to address this issue. Fifty-two mother-infant dyads were recruited from the UK ( N = 21) and Italy ( N = 31), repr…
The impact of a mother–infant intervention on parenting and infant response to challenge
A pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) was conducted in El Salvador of an intervention (‘Thula Sana’) previously shown to enhance maternal sensitivity and infant security of attachment in a South African sample. In El Salvador, trained community workers delivered the intervention from late pregnancy to 6 months postpartum as part of a home‐visiting programme. The sample comprised 64 pregnant adolescent women, aged 14–19 years, living in predom…
The role of maternal anxiety disorder subtype, parenting and infant stable temperamental inhibition in child anxiety
BACKGROUND: Social anxiety disorder (SAD) aggregates in families. To elucidate intergenerational transmission of risk, we examined whether childhood SAD and symptoms of anxiety were prospectively predicted by stable infant temperamental inhibition, maternal SAD, maternal generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and maternal parenting behaviours. METHODS: We conducted a longitudinal study beginning prenatally with follow-up at 4, 10, 14 and 58 months po…
Improving mother–infant interaction during infant feeding
Electric Vehicle Mobility-as-a-Service
Three distinct trends have emerged that have disrupted the dominance of privately owned, combustion-powered car transport in the United Kingdom. First, the electric powertrain has emerged as an affordable means of transport, addressing various existing environmental concerns; second, new models of car ownership are developing, particularly in urban areas; third, the growth of “smart city” thinking emphasizes capitalizing on increased connectivity…
Association of Persistent and Severe Postnatal Depression With Child Outcomes
Persistent and severe PND substantially raises the risk for adverse outcome on all child measures. Meeting criteria for depression both early and late in the postnatal year, especially when the mood disturbance is severe, should alert health care professionals to a depression that is likely to be persistent and to be associated with an especially elevated risk of multiple adverse child outcomes. Treatment for this group should be prioritized.

Maternal postnatal depression and anxiety and their association with child emotional negativity and behavior problems at two years
Postnatal maternal depression is associated with poorer child emotional and behavioral functioning, but it is unclear whether this occurs following brief episodes or only with persistent depression. Little research has examined the relation between postnatal anxiety and child outcomes. The present study examined the role of postnatal major depressive disorder (MDD) and generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) symptom chronicity on children's emotional …
Neurodevelopmental delay in children infected with human immunodeficiency virus in Soweto, South Africa
HIV in children is a serious and growing problem in sub-Saharan Africa. At present very little is known about the neurological complications of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected children in South Africa. The aim of this study was to determine the extent and prevalence of neurodevelopmental delay in a group of HIV-positive children in Soweto, South Africa, as well as to determine what factors were predictive of neurodevelopmental delay. …
The Mother-Infant Relationship and Infant Attachment in a South African Peri-Urban Settlement
A sample of 147 mother-infant dyads was recruited from a peri-urban settlement outside Cape Town and seen at 2- and 18-months postpartum. At 18 months, 61.9% of the infants were rated as securely attached (B); 4.1% as avoidant (A); 8.2% as resistant (C); and 25.8% disorganized (D). Postpartum depression at 2 months, and indices of poor parenting at both 2 and 18 months, were associated with insecure infant attachment. The critical 2-month predict…
Social Factors and Postpartum Depression in Khayelitsha, Cape Town
Social factors, including poverty, are known risk factors for depression. In a previous study conducted in Khayelitsha, a very poor peri-urban settlement near Cape Town, a 34.7% prevalence rate for postpartum depression was found, roughly three times the expected rate internationally. This article is a report on a logistical regression analysis, showing that the odds ratios for the probability of maternal depression at two months were: for the in…
The Factor Structure of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale in a South African Peri-Urban Settlement
The factor structure of the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression scale (EPDS) and similar instruments have received little attention in the literature. The researchers set out to investigate the construct validity and reliability of the EPDS amongst impoverished South African women. The EPDS was translated into isiXhosa (using Brislin's back translation method) and administered by trained interviewers to 147 women in Khayelitsha, South Africa. Response…
Scaling up the benefits of agroforestry research
Case studies demonstrate the breadth and richness in approaches to scaling up and lessons learned from them. A key lesson is that scaling up agroforestry innovations is far more complex than simply transferring information and planting material; it often entails building institutional capacity in the community for promoting and sustaining the innovation and adoption process. An overarching problem is the paucity of research on scaling up. Careful…
Post-partum depression and the mother-infant relationship in a South African peri-urban settlement
BACKGROUND: Post-partum depression in the developing world has received little research attention, and its association with disturbances in the mother-infant relationship is unknown. AIMS: To determine the prevalence of post-partum depression and associated disturbances in the mother-infant relationship in Khayelitsha, a South African peri-urban settlement. METHOD: The mental state of 147 women who had delivered two months previously was assessed…
The Impact of Postnatal Depression and Associated Adversity on Early Mother-Infant Interactions and Later Infant Outcome
The Cognitive Development of 5‐Year‐Old Children of Postnatally Depressed Mothers
As part of a longitudinal study of the influence of postnatal depression on child development, the cognitive functioning of index and control children was assessed at age 5 years. There was no evidence of an adverse effect of postnatal depression, even amongst sub‐groups of children suggested to be vulnerable (boys and children from low SES families). However, early experience of insensitive maternal interactions predicted the persistence of poor…
An Examination of Driving Records in a Dementia Clinic
The driving records of 249 persons referred to an outpatient dementia clinic were examined retrospectively to assess the specificity of the association between diagnosed dementia and increased traffic accidents. The clinic patients were divided into two groups: those who met criteria for dementia and those who did not. For each group, control subjects matched on age, gender, and location of residence were randomly selected from the records of all…

The Impact of Postnatal Depression and Associated Adversity on Early Mother-Infant Interactions and Later Infant Outcome
The impact of maternal depression and adversity on mother-infant face-to-face interactions at 2 months, and on subsequent infant cognitive development and attachment, was examined in a low-risk sample of primiparous women and their infants. The severe disturbances in mother-infant engagement characteristic of depressed groups in disadvantaged populations were not evident in the context of postpartum mood disorder in the present study. However, co…

The Development of the Concept of War
War', said the seven-year-old, 'is to do with "Goodies" and "Baddies", and it's all right to make War so long as you don't start it first. A "Goodie" is someone who does not start a War, he just joins in - if he didn't, he would be nothing.' To which his mate adds, 'Come on lazy-bones, it's only a fight - not the end of the world

A note on explanation and understanding in psychology
Hetherington has recently argued that psychology's concern with anecdotal evidence, introspective data and rare or one‐off events renders the methodology and explanatory model of the natural sciences inappropriate and inadequate; and as such psychology needs to develop its own methods of inquiry. However, an examination of his arguments reveals that psychological data do not require explanation of a radically different kind from that employed in …
