Discrepancies between mothers' and fathers' perceptions of sons' and daughters' problem behavior: A longitudinal analysis of parent-adolescent agreement on internalizing and externalizing problem behavior
Article Abstract:
A study undertook to examine parent-adolescent agreement in problem behavior longitudinally, using the Youth Self-Report (YSR) and the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Results showed high agreement of mothers and fathers, particularly concerning daughters, while parents and adolescents showed little agreement. Agreement was higher for internalizing behaviors, compared to externalizing behaviors, and mothers' ratings of their children's behaviors were highly correlated with adolescents' self ratings, although fathers' ratings were not.

Editorial
Article Abstract:
Interpersonal communication is important part of human development and the subtle manifestations of a lack of this ability are substantially more typical in children referred to child psychiatric facilities. It was not until recently that child psychologists and child psychiatrists were able to discover accurate gauges for detecting and measuring subtle disorders of language that inherently carry potential profound consequences for children's behavioral and emotional adjustment.

A case-comparison study of the characteristics of children with short stature syndrome induced by stress (Hyperphagic Short Stature) and a consecutive series of unaffected 'stressed' children
Article Abstract:
Hyperphagic Short Stature, a type of growth failure, has recently been described, where there is potentially reversible sever impairment of growth hormone secretion, together with high rates of psychosocial stress. A study compared children with HSS and a matched sample with normal height, taken from comparably stressful family circumstances. It is suggested that hypothalamic pathology may account for many of the clinical features of HSS.
