“…In particular, boys have significantly lower probability of having psychological distress than girls and teens aged 14-15 have lower risk of emotional problems than those aged 16-17. These results are in line with the literature (see, for example, Bettge et al, 2008). As expected, physical limitations, particularly if moderate or stronger, significantly increase the risk of having lower psychological health.…”

Children's living arrangements have become increasingly diverse and complex in recent decades: a significant proportion of children reside in stepfamilies or in separated one-parent families, even in countries such as Italy, which only recently are undergoing a transition from traditional to less traditional family behaviours. The present study explores whether adolescents living in families which are the result of separation or divorce have lower levels of psychological well-being than those living in more traditional families, and whether this possible effect of family structure is influenced by family resources (parental socio-economic circumstances and parental health). These issues are investigated using data from a national representative survey conducted in Italy in 2005. Results suggest that adolescents living in non-traditional families are not necessarily at higher risk of emotional suffering than others. Only adolescents who live in step-families show a lower level of emotional well-being than those living in two-biological-parent families, and this effect is not mediated by family resources.

“…ADHD is dealt with in two papers, with the KiGGS and the BELLA approach being put into perspective by Huss et al [9] and by Döpfner et al [5], who have applied different approachesjudgement of health care professionals versus parent-based usage of ICD-10 and DSM criteria -to derive prevalence rates for attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder. Bettge et al [2] look at the severity of depressive symptoms in children and adolescents, and Herpertz-Dahlmann et al [7] describe patterns of disordered eating behaviour along with the associated psychopathology and the impact on the health-related quality of life of the children. Finally, Resch et al [16] examine the frequency of selfmutilation and suicidal behaviour and its psychosocial correlates.…”

Nutzungsbedingungen Tanja Göttken Summary Psychosomatic Emotion Dysregulation in Childhood DepressionThis review gives an overview on recent psychodynamic concepts of depression and contrasts them with recent bio-psycho-social and genetic approaches on the aetiopathogenesis of depression.
