Childhood: Developmental Psychology - Example Essay

Does age of migration matter for how well a child can learn a second language?

In the past 50 years, the number of migrants worldwide has been steadily increasing (United Nations, 2019a, pp. 21) with 82 million in Europe alone in 2019 (United Nations, 2019b). It is crucial to note that about a sixth of those are younger than 20 years old (United Nations, 2019a) as age appears to problematically impact the consequences of migration. To illustrate, migrant youth is more likely to get into contact with the law (van der Gaag, 2019), suffer from substance abuse (Mechlor-Ayala, 2019) and be victimized by their peers (Heine, 2008) which negatively influence health outcomes, such as loneliness (Matthews et al., 2020). This does not mean that people who migrate are doomed to experience adverse effects for the rest of their life. Successful integration

Childhood: Clinical and School Psychology - Example Essay

Which treatments are effective for ADHD?

Elementary school teachers in the Netherlands are increasingly experiencing burnout symptoms (DUO Onderwijsonderzoek, 2016). This makes it likely that the quality of education will suffer, with teachers mainly pointing out that having too many students in a classroom in need of additional assistance due to some form of psychopathology is increasing the workload (DUO Onderwijsonderzoek, 2016). One fairly common issue – at three to seven percent of the children in a classroom – is the presence of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), a neurodevelopmental disorder in which a child mainly presents with problems controlling impulses, remaining concentrated on the task at hand, and hyperactivity (Wilmhurst, 2015; Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). Next to making the already challenging task of an elementary teacher more straining, the disorder is associated with a range of negative outcomes, such

Clinical assessment of child and adolescent personality and behaviour by Frick, Barry, & Kamphaus (fourth edition) – Chapter 16 summary

It is essential to consider the different people who will read a report to avoid improper interpretation of the results when writing a report. The clinician should aim to make reports accessible and useful to all involved people. The report refers to the means by which a client’s history and difficulties are described, results are obtained and interpreted, and suggestions for future approaches to the difficulties are discussed.

A psychometric property refers to a portion of the report that presents only test scores and is usually given at the beginning of a report. This is often not of use for parents.

There are several pitfalls of report writing:

  1. Vocabulary
    Clinicians should avoid using jargon, complex sentence structure and too many acronyms.
    1. Complex words to add length to the report.
    2. Esoteric language only understood by the clinician.
    3. Not

Clinical assessment of child and adolescent personality and behaviour by Frick, Barry, & Kamphaus (fourth edition) – Chapter 15 summary

Assessment should include many areas of functioning (1), use multiple techniques (2) and use multiple sources (3). The integration of this information is often difficult due to the low rate of agreement between informants but this may reflect real situational variability in children’s behaviour. Informant disagreement is influenced by the type of behaviour being assessed and the measurement technique used across informants (i.e. assessment strategy).

The level of analysis should be taken into account when assessing a lack of agreement between informants as individual behaviours show less consistency across informants than broader dimensions of behaviours (e.g. diagnosis). To understand the different behavioural manifestations, it is important to understand the demands of different contexts.

Complex schemes refer to systems in which one source of information is weighed more heavily than others. Simple schemes (i.e. either/or approach) refer to systems in which information from all sources is

Clinical assessment of child and adolescent personality and behaviour by Frick, Barry, & Kamphaus (fourth edition) – Chapter 13 summary

History taking is essential in child psychological assessment for several reasons:

  • It allows the clinician to conceptualize a case by providing information about the developmental course of the child’s difficulties.
  • It provides information on the specific presentation of the individual child’s difficulties.
  • It provides information on risk and protective factors.
  • It provides information on important contextual influences on the child’s functioning.

It consists of several aspects:

  • Age of onset
    This is crucial for diagnosis and conceptualization.
  • Course and prognosis
    This is used to assess the stability of symptoms and to determine whether contextual factors play a primary role.
  • Impairment
    This gives information on impairment experiences in daily life and environmental consequences of the problems.
  • Aetiology
    This gives information on a potential diagnosis or effective interventions.
  • Family psychiatric history
    This is

Clinical assessment of child and adolescent personality and behaviour by Frick, Barry, & Kamphaus (fourth edition) – Chapter 5 summary

Non-specifics refer to contextual factors within which the techniques of psychotherapy take place (e.g. therapeutic alliance). During the assessment procedure, the reason for referral should be taken into account. The interpretations that one anticipates making at the end of the evaluation should guide the selection of tests for the assessment battery (e.g. hypotheses about the referral question and the problem behaviour). When the referrer is unsure about what can be done to help the child or unsure about the nature of the problems, the goal of assessment is to diagnose the source of the problems and make treatment recommendations based on this diagnosis.

It is always important to determine whether an evaluation is in the child’s best interest as a request is not sufficient reason to conduct the evaluation. A second opinion can be valuable although it needs to be taken into account whether it is will
