Treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder With Amphetamine: Short-Term Effects on Family Interaction.

Objective: This research seeks to study the impact on family function after 3 months of treatment with amphetamine. Method: A total of 43 children, 6 to 11 years of age, with ADHD were treated with amphetamine for 3 months. Family function was studied before and after treatment by parent self-rating and independent observer ratings of videotaped parent—child interactions. Results: The families with a child with ADHD were found to be more dysfunctional than control families. Families with children with severe ADHD behavior showed evidence of more family dysfunction compared to families with children with less severe ADHD behavior. After 3 months of treatment with amphetamine, the children's behavior and the mother's well-being and some aspects of parent-reported and observer-rated family functioning improved. Conclusion: This study gives support to the notion that some aspects of family dysfunction may be related to the child's ADHD behavior

Unga inneliggande patienter med självdestruktivt beteende

Inom Division Psykiatri vid USiL(Universitetssjukhuset i Lund) har ett projekt genomförts i syfte att föreslå åtgärder för patienter med självskadebeteende. Projektet omfattade två delar – en journalgenomgång av 24 patienter, 15-25 år, inlagda under en sexmånadsperiod vid divisionens vuxen- och barnpsykiatriska kliniker och en intervjuundersökning av 14/24 patienterna och deras anhöriga. Av journalgenomgången framkom bl.a. att många patienter haft en svår uppväxt, utsatts för sexuella övergrepp och kände sig övergivna. I intervjuerna framkom att många upplevde att de inte fått någon behandling utan att inläggningen varit en fråga om förvaring. De få som fått DBT upplevde denna behandling positivt.A study was conducted at Lund University Hospital in 2001-2002 with the purpose to suggest alternative models for treatment and care of patients with deliberate self-harm behaviour. A review of the inpatient charts was conducted for twenty-four young female patients, 15-25 yrs of age, admitted to a child and adolescent or adult psychiatric clinic during a 6 month period, and 14/24 of the patients and their relatives were interviewed. Chart reviews showed that a lot of information that might be necessary in order to understand, diagnose and treat these patients is not always available. Furthermore, there is seldom a systematic, structured care and treatment planning for this group of young, mostly female patients. Many of the patients reported a difficult upbringing, had been subjected to sexual abuse and felt abandoned. In the interviews the lack of continuity was a recurrent complaint and the young women saw the days at the wards as long, tedious, empty and destructive, with little or no daily structure. The patients who had experienced DBT were very satisfied with this treatment. We conclude that treatment of deliberate self-harm must begin with thorough information on symptoms, life events and the current life situation. Emphasis must be put on a structured outpatient treatment model, including the treatment of existing psychiatric disorders, and the use of DBT or CBT. The principal aim must be to minimize the need of inpatient treatment. A model must also contain guidelines for a structured inpatient treatment

Priests and cults in the book of the twelve

Introduction: "The current volume focuses, as the title suggests, on the depictions of the cult and its personnel—primarily but not limited to priests and Levites—in the Book of the Twelve. The contributing authors do not share one methodological approach and they do not always reach conclusions that are mutually compatible. This variety is intentional insofar as it reflects contemporary scholarship. The current volume further seeks to showcase different scholarly traditions. In this volume, scholarship from continental Europe, Scandinavia, the United Kingdom, North America, and Australia is represented. What holds these scholars together is their interest in the so-called Book of the Twelve. Most of the individual contributions focus on a single prophetic book, but they also all place their research and their findings in the wider context of the Book of the Twelve. Due to their content, the books of Hosea and Joel, as well as the Haggai-Malachi corpus, have received the most attention. Other books, where the cult is at most a peripheral topic, have accordingly received less. While there has been no conscious effort to cover all the twelve books in the Twelve, this volume has sought to discuss all the key cultic texts in the Book of the Twelve...
