Symptom Persistence In Seriously Emotionally Disordered Children: Findings Of A Two-Year Follow-Up After Residential Treatment, Rebecca Cuthbert, Jeff St. Pierre, Shannon Stewart, Steven Cook, Andrew Johnson, Alan Leschied

Residential treatment is arguably the most costly and intensive part of the children’s mental health system. Yet, research suggests that a subset of the emotionally disordered children and youth admitted to intensive tertiary care treatment facilities fail to demonstrate symptom reductions upon discharge, with many continuing to deteriorate in their adjustment during the follow-up period. This study reports on the factors that characterize the children and youth that, while showing marginal benefit from residential treatment, continue to show community conduct problems at a two-year follow-up period. The results are discussed in the context of how knowledge of these factors can …

This study examined the symptom response trajectories for 225 children and youth throughout a period of residential treatment. With the 10-item Conners' Global Index (CGI) as the primary outcome measure, assessments were completed on a bi-weekly basis during the average 4 month stay within the youth's residential treatment. Clients demonstrated an ongoing reduction of symptoms, and the severity of baseline symptoms influenced the trajectory of the symptom reduction. In addition, symptom reduction was characterized as logarithmic, particularly when controlling for the baseline severity of symptoms. Implications of these findings for administrators, practitioners, and researchers of residential treatment are discussed.
Caregiving Styles: A Cognitive And Behavioral Typology Associated With Dementia Family Caregiving, Mary Corcoran
Caregiving Styles: A Cognitive And Behavioral Typology Associated With Dementia Family Caregiving, Mary Corcoran

Purpose: An increasing number of elderly individuals
are diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and
related disorders (ADRD), many of whom receive
daily caregiving from spouse or adult child. Caregiving
is a “cultural activity,” and as such it is strongly
influenced by sociocultural beliefs about caregiving
and how it should be enacted. Understanding this
thinking–action process has important implications
for future research and service. Reasoned action theory
provides empirical evidence that attitudes and
beliefs, as they are influenced by the social environment,
predict intentions to act. In turn, behavioral
intentions can reliably predict behaviors. This
grounded theory study describes a typology of …
