1. goals of the child psychopathology field: 1. defining what constitutes normal
and abnormal behavior for children of different ages, sexes, and ethnic and
cultural backgrounds
2. identifying the causes and correlates of abnormal child behavior
3. predicting long term outcomes
4. developing, evaluating, and improving treatment and/or prevention
2. defining what constitutes normal and abnormal behavior for children of
different ages, sexes, and ethnic and cultural backgrounds: goal of the
child psychopathology field
3. identifying the causes and correlates of abnormal child behavior: goal of
the child psychopathology field
4. predicting long term outcomes: goal of the child psychopathology field
5. developing, evaluating, and improving treatment and/or prevention: goal
of the child psychopathology field
,6. clinical complexities of working with children: 1. It is often unclear whose
"problem" it is
2. Children's problems often involve developmental delays
3. Problem behaviors fall on a continuum, and it is often the degree/severity of the
problem that is most important
4. Interventions often promote further, additional development
7. it is often unclear whose "problem" it is
(clinical complexities of working with children): is it a parental problem or a
child problem? sometimes interventions will target parenting and not child
behavior
8. Children's problems often involve developmental delays
(clinical complexities of working with children): -huge variation in children's
abilities developmentally
-professionals need to be aware of typical developmental stages so you can
identify what is just slow development vs what is cause for concern
9. Children's mental health problems were not recognized until near the end
of the 18th century: Children often viewed as slaves or parental property
before this time
,10. John Locke (English philosopher; 1632-1704): was an empiricist. believed
learning comes through experience (vs. being innate) therefore, children should
be raised with thought and care
11. Jean Marc Itard (French; 1774-1838) and Victor, the "wild boy of
Aveyron": Victor had severe learning problems because he hadn't been
exposed to language he made great progress, but then there was a cap on
what he could accomplish
12 The cap on what Victor could accomplish shows...: how nature and nurture
are both important
13. Universal education and the identification of struggling children: more
recent influence. an example would be schools doing iReady testing to see
which students need early interventions.
14. Newfound distinction between "imbeciles" (i.e., those with intellectual
disability) and "lunatics" (i.e., those with behavioral or emotional
disorders): in the past, there was a stigma around learning and behavioral
disorders
15. in schools today, there is still a distinction between intellectual
disabilities vs behavioral disorders: example: Down Syndrome vs ADHD
, 16. Moral insanity, or disturbance in personality or character: not supposed to
diagnosis with serious disabilities like dissociative personality disorder until
age 15
17. Organic disease models and more humane treatment in recent years:
Dorothy Dix established mental hospitals in the 1840's and 50's
18. Mental hygiene movement: -Mental disorders as a form of disease
-stopped unnecessary, inhumane measures
19. psychoanalytic theory: -Developed by Sigmund Freud
-Believed that mental disorders could be traced to early childhood experiences
-Believed mental disorders could be treated
-Multiple causes linked to development
-Emphasized unconscious desires, drives, and defense mechanisms
20. psychodynamic theory: More contemporary rendering of psychoanalytic
theory
21. Anna Freud
(psychodynamic theory): noticed that children's symptoms were more linked to
developmental stage
22. Melanie Klein
