Systems of care and the integrative clinician: A look into the future of psychotherapy.

The widespread implementation of systems of care represents an important opportunity to integrate behavioral, cognitive, milieu, client-centered, group, solution-focused, systems, multicultural, and ecological approaches to child and family therapy. This integrated approach is described and illustrated, and systems of care principles are considered to be a useful foundation for effective therapeutic practices for difficult problems of children, families, and adults.

Filial family play therapy with an adoptive family: A response to preadoptive child maltreatment.

This article describes an in-depth case study analysis of the process of working therapeutically with a family, who adopted a young male after several child maltreatment experiences, using filial family play therapy. Psychological and behavioral assessments conducted before and after the play therapy process illustrates a varying picture of results in the scores of both parent and child functioning. In-depth narratives collected from the adoptive parents a year later reflect the positive influence the play therapy process had on long-term family dynamics.

基于遗传算法的多信道无线网络信道分配方案

在传统单信道无线网络中,多节点同时传输时彼此间的干扰会使吞吐量降低.为解决该问题,提出一种改进的自适应遗传算法用于信道分配.在进化过程的前期执行固定参数的遗传操作,后期执行自适应遗传操作,采用新的交叉方式,即将染色体按适应值大小分成2组,从各个组中随机选取染色体进行交叉运算,使得整个染色体种群的适应值向最优解逼近,并在生成子代时使用父子竞争机制.仿真结果表明,该算法能有效避免标准遗传算法容易早熟和局部收敛的缺点,收敛速度快且容易逼近最优解,并能降低网络冲突.     

Child-Related Disagreements, Verbal Aggression, and Children's Internalizing and Externalizing Behavior Problems.

Dual-income parents (N = 122 couples) with an oldest child 18-60 months of age completed the Child-Rearing Disagreements Scale (E. N. Jouriles et al., 1991), the Child Behavior Checklist (T. M. Achenbach & L. A. Rescorla, 2000), and the Verbal Aggression subscale of the Conflicts and Problem-Solving Scale (P. K. Kerig, 1996). Replicating the results of E. N. Jouriles et al. (1991) and extending these findings to daughters and fathers, the authors found links between child-related disagreements and parental ratings of child behavior problems in this low-risk sample. There were no links between fathers' reports of verbal aggression and child behavior problems. Among mothers, however, use of verbal aggression mediated the link between child-related disagreements and ratings of sons' internalizing problems. Verbal aggression did not moderate the link between child-related disagreements and child behavior problems for either mothers or for fathers.

基于用户体验的智能化母婴产品设计研究

目的研究智能化母婴产品设计中的用户体验设计。方法分析用户体验的理论层次及目前市场上智能化产品的现状和问题,提出要实现高用户体验度,产品中的智能化是其必然性的存在。通过研究母婴群体与用户体验和智能化之间的必然性存在关系,分析设计母婴产品时母婴群体会产生的感官、情感和行为层次上的需求,以数据调查和样本分析等作为数据支持,结合相应的消费观,对母婴产品设计的设计原则和要求进行分析,让设计更好地满足母婴产品的需求。结论要使母婴产品真正的实现智能化,要在设计时充分的融入用户体验,关注使用者的感官需求、情感需求和行为需求,使产品实现真正意义上的智能化,而不仅是浮于高技术层面。

The Self-Fulfilling Prophecy as an Intrafamily Dynamic.

This research examined whether parents' and children's perceptions of one another have reciprocal self-fulfilling effects on each other's behavior. Parents and their adolescent children completed self-report surveys and engaged in dyadic videotaped interaction tasks. The surveys assessed mothers', fathers', and children's perceptions of their own and the other's hostility and warmth. Observers coded the videotaped interactions to assess the actual hostility and warmth exhibited by parents and children. Data from 658 mother-child dyads were consistent with the conclusion that children had a self-fulfilling effect on their mothers' hostility but that mothers did not have a reciprocal self-fulfilling effect on their children's hostility. No other self-fulfilling prophecy effects emerged. Findings are discussed in terms of family relations and the differential power of negative versus positive self-fulfilling prophecies.

Maltreated children's memory: Accuracy, suggestibility, and psychopathology.

Memory, suggestibility, stress arousal, and trauma-related psychopathology were examined in 328 3- to 16-year-olds involved in forensic investigations of abuse and neglect. Children's memory and suggestibility were assessed for a medical examination and venipuncture. Being older and scoring higher in cognitive functioning were related to fewer inaccuracies. In addition, cortisol level and trauma symptoms in children who reported more dissociative tendencies were associated with increased memory error, whereas cortisol level and trauma symptoms were not associated with increased error for children who reported fewer dissociative tendencies. Sexual and/or physical abuse predicted greater accuracy. The study contributes important new information to scientific understanding of maltreatment, psychopathology, and eyewitness memory in children.

Creating trauma-informed systems: Child welfare, education, first responders, health care, juvenile justice.

Children and adolescents who are exposed to traumatic events are helped by numerous child-serving agencies, including health, mental health, education, child welfare, first responder, and criminal justice systems to assist them in their recovery. Service providers need to incorporate a trauma-informed perspective in their practices to enhance the quality of care for these children. This includes making sure that children and adolescents are screened for trauma exposure; that service providers use evidence-informed practices; that resources on trauma are available to providers, survivors, and their families; and that there is a continuity of care across service systems. This article reviews how traumatic stress impacts children and adolescents' daily functioning and how various service systems approach trauma services differently. It also provides recommendations for how to make each of these service systems more trauma informed and an appendix detailing resources in the National Child Traumatic Stress Network that have been produced to meet this objective.

Trajectories leading to school-age conduct problems.

The present study applied a semiparametric mixture model to a sample of 284 low-income boys to model developmental trajectories of overt conduct problems from ages 2 to 8. As in research on older children, 4 developmental trajectories were identified: a persistent problem trajectory, a high-level desister trajectory, a moderate-level desister trajectory, and a persistent low trajectory. Follow-up analyses indicated that initially high and low groups were differentiated in early childhood by high child fearlessness and elevated maternal depressive symptomatology. Persistent problem and high desister trajectories were differentiated by high child fearlessness and maternal rejecting parenting. The implications of the results for early intervention research are discussed, with an emphasis on the identification of at-risk parent-child dyads.
