Evidence-based psychotherapies for children and adolescents by Weisz and Kazdin (third edition) – Chapter 1 summary

Psychotherapy refers to any interventions that is designed to reduce distress or maladaptive behaviour or enhance adaptive functioning and uses means such as counselling and structured and other planned psychosocial interventions. The goals include improving adjustment and functioning in both intrapersonal and interpersonal spheres. Next, the goal is to reduce maladaptive behaviours and psychological and/or physical complaints.

Nowadays, guidelines for making studies to evaluate psychotherapy exist. There is no consensus for when something can be considered evidence-based psychotherapy (EBP). Most guidelines includes something as evidence-based when there are at least two studies with the following:

  • Careful specification of the patient population.
  • Random assignment of participants to conditions.
  • Use of treatment manuals that document the procedures.
  • Multiple outcome measures including a measure for the disorder.
  • Statistically significant differences between treatment and a comparison group after treatment.

Childhood: Clinical and School Psychology – Lecture 7 (UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM)

Specific learning disabilities are detrimental to one’s well-being. The repeated academic failure associated with this continues to haunt people for years after formal schooling.

A specific learning disability originally included a discrepancy-based definition. This included a discrepancy between IQ and achievement (e.g. high IQ, low reading achievement). However, the degree of discrepancy is arbitrary. This definition favours older children and children with a higher IQ. It is failure-based (e.g. waiting for children to show failure in academics).

The current definition is focused on identification with response to intervention (RTI). It includes achievement in key academic areas that is substantially below the age norm and in excess of sensory deficit (1), linguistic processes (2), attention (3) and memory (4). The prevalence rate is about 2% to 10%.

There are often social deficits in people with SLD but this may be

Childhood: Clinical and School Psychology – Lecture 6 (UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM)

Multilingualism refers to speaking multiple languages. It is not just a technical task which only requires a cognitive dimension as it also has emotional, social and cultural significance. There are three dimensions for describing people’s associations with the languages they speak:

  • Expertise
    This refers to the degree of proficiency in a language.
  • Affiliation
    This refers to the affective relationship with a language.
  • Inheritance
    This refers to the membership of a certain language group (e.g. by birth; family; community).

Simultaneous multilingualism (i.e. balanced bilingual) refers to learning the first and second language simultaneously. Both languages are learned in the home environment and the level of both languages is maximal depending on socioeconomic status and input. Successive multilingualism (i.e. functional bilingual) refers to learning the first language first and the second language after mastering the first one. The first language is

Childhood: Clinical and School Psychology – Lecture 5 (UNIVERSITY OF AMSTERDAM)

The WISC-IQ test measures the following:

  • It measures how well somebody can learn.
  • It measures what somebody knows.
  • It measures what somebody can do.
  • It assesses what a person’s strong skills are.
  • It assesses what a person’s weak skills are.

The focus of an IQ test is on school-based skills (e.g. language; math; understanding; spatial skills; planning; problem-solving; logical skills) and it also measures acquired knowledge and skills. This means that an IQ test does not only measure potential but also current intelligence. It is important to assess whether deficits are the results of lack of opportunities (i.e. deprivation) or limitations in capacity.

There is not a perfect relationship between school performance and IQ as school performance may be lower than somebody’s IQ due to socio-emotional circumstances (e.g. being bullied) or other issues
