Of the 488 youth who participated in the CAMS project, 279 were randomly assigned to one of the CBT conditions (CBT only or CBT plus sertraline). Participants included youth (ages 7-17;...

Parent and child temperament variables were examined in an interactive "goodness of fit" model with respect to foster placement outcome. The "mismatch" of a rigid foster mother and a child of negative mood was found to be predictive of less successful placement outcome, as was the placement of a child of more negative mood than expected by the foster mother.

Anxiety disorders are common among parents of anxious children and have been found to impede child treatment outcomes, yet it is unclear whether it is parental anxiety that needs to be targeted in therapy or associated parental behaviours.

Data were collected at presentation and medical notes were re-examined after 18 to 21 months. The incidence of limp was 1.8 per thousand. The male:female ratio was 1.7:1 and the...

All of these describe the same thing—the kinds of development and learning that should be taking place. Chil...

There is a widespread belief that exposure to television has harmful effects on children’s cognitive development. While a few studies on historical data contradict this belief most research that uses recent data points to a negative correlation between hours of television viewing and cognitive outcomes. The causality, however, is far from established. Using the National Longitudinal Survey of Y...
