Identifying And Managing Caregiver Burden Among Spouses Of Individuals With Parkinson's Disease, Kaitlyn Roland, Andrew Johnson, Mary Jenkins
Identifying And Managing Caregiver Burden Among Spouses Of Individuals With Parkinson's Disease, Kaitlyn Roland, Andrew Johnson, Mary Jenkins
Andrew M. Johnson
Burden is a psychological concept, a subjective interpretation by caregivers of the extent to which the caregiving experience impacts on one's health, social life, or financial status. In this article, we examine some of the predictors of caregiver burden, and look specifically at the burden experienced by caregivers of individuals with Parkinson's disease.

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 …
Identification And Management Of Impulse Control Disorders Among Individuals With Parkinson’S Disease, Andrew Johnson, H. Hyson, Kaitlyn Roland
Identification And Management Of Impulse Control Disorders Among Individuals With Parkinson’S Disease, Andrew Johnson, H. Hyson, Kaitlyn Roland
Andrew M. Johnson
Although Parkinson’s disease is primarily considered to be a motor disorder, it has inarguable effects on cognition and personality. The cluster of neuropsychiatric sequelae known as impulse-control disorders has been of particular interest in recent years, perhaps owing to the potentially disastrous effects that such behaviors can have on individuals and families. Research has suggested that impulse control disorders are significantly more prevalent among individuals with Parkinson’s disease, particularly with regards to pathological gambling and hypersexuality, and has further suggested that these disorders are significantly and substantively affected by the use of dopamine agonists. Treatment options for impulse control disorders …
The Trajectory Of Change For Children And Youth In Residential Treatment, J. Noftle, Steven Cook, Alan Leschied, Jeff St. Pierre, Shannon Stewart, Andrew Johnson
The Trajectory Of Change For Children And Youth In Residential Treatment, J. Noftle, Steven Cook, Alan Leschied, Jeff St. Pierre, Shannon Stewart, Andrew Johnson

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.
