Alternative treatments for autism : prevalence and predictors

Autism is a heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder for which a large variety of treatments are offered, including alternative treatments. Vaccine-related treatments (treatments falsely claiming to cure autism by addressing its alleged cause: routine childhood vaccines such as MMR) continue to be offered worldwide, despite widespread evidence against the effectiveness and even possible harm related to these treatments. We analysed the use of alternative treatments in two studies: a survey study (N = 1989, autistic adults and parents/legal representatives of individuals with autism) and a clinical care study (N = 4520, patient files from a treatment center for autism). Both studies found a relatively high frequency of alternative treatments (23.0–30.7%) – in children even 46.4% -, mostly in combination with mainstream treatment. In the survey study vaccine-related treatments were used by 3.2% of all individuals with autism (and 6.7% of autistic children), and alternative treatment use was predicted by co-occurring diagnoses, younger age of diagnosis and mainstream treatment use. In the clinical care study, patients who had received treatment from a homeo-/osteopath more often had highly educated parents from Dutch/Western background and were more often enrolled in special education. Alternative treatments are widely used and should be included in treatment guidelines. Parents, practitioners and individuals with autism should be both advised and warned about the benefits and risks of these treatments. More research is needed to better understand the choice for and effect of alternative treatments for autism, and mainstream care should be improved

The role of artpedagogy in the growth of new generation

This article examines a modern, innovative direction in the field of education, art pedagogy. The connection in scientific research in the field of art therapy and art pedagogy is shown, facts of common and different in these disciplines are given. In modern research, a very important aspect stands out: art pedagogy allows you to work with various categories of students. Art pedagogy goes beyond working with children with problems, but at the same time does not duplicate the sphere of art education and aesthetic education. The analysis of the experiment to identify the impact on children of different ages, levels of development and personality characteristics of art-pedagogical technologies, using a variety of artistic techniques and materials, carried out on the basis of the social center for the protection of the population. The article describes the results of this experiment with adolescents in the process of applying the methods of art pedagogy to increase motivation for activity, the possibility of self-expression, and improve the emotional atmosphere in the group. The conclusion is drawn about the specific influence of working with different art materials on the emotional state of the chil

Main Findings: The main characteristics of the organization of club communication processes for solving various psychological problems are identified. Various types of club communication are offered that form the basis of socio-cultural activities. Originality: The problem areas for further improvement of socio-cultural activities using the pedagogical content of created situations of interpersonal communication are identified

Immunology and Homeopathy. 1. Historical Background

Homeopathy was born as an experimental discipline, as can be seen from the enormous amount of homeopathic data collected over more than two centuries. However, the medical tradition of homeopathy has been separated from that of conventional science for a long time. Conventional scientific wisdom dictates that homeopathy should have no effect above placebo but experiments on ultra-high dilutions of solutes together with some clinical data suggest the intriguing possibility that it might do in some circumstances. Today, an osmotic process between disciplines, previously seen as in conflict, is facilitated because over the last few decades homeopathy has initiated the methods of current medical science and a substantial number of experimental studies—at molecular, cellular and clinical levels—are available. One area of dialogue and of common progress is that of inflammation and immunity, probably because these are closely related to the traditional ‘vital force’ of the body's self-healing power. In a series of papers we review the historical origins of homeopathy, the laboratory and animal models related to the field of immunopharmacology, the clinical evidence in favor and against the use of homeopathy in the inflammatory diseases and the hypotheses regarding its action mechanism(s). Finally, we will enlighten the specific characteristics of the homeopathic approach, which places great emphasis on identifying a cure for the whole organism
