“…Analyses of the data obtained via the SCARED indicated an apparent presence of anxiety symptoms in our sample, in particular with respect to situational phobia, PTSD and social phobia. In line with numerous other studies, our sample revealed higher anxiety scores for girls than for boys (Birmaher et al, 1997;Bodden et al, 2009;Boyd et al, 2003;Connor et al, 2004;Crocetti et al, 2009;Doerfler et al, 2009;Essau et al, 2002;Hale et al, 2005;Muris et al, 1998Muris et al, , 1999Muris et al, , 2000Muris et al, , 2001Muris et al, , 2004Simon and Bö gels, 2009;Sohn, 2003;Su et al, 2007;Tambelli et al, 2012;Wasserman et al, 2005), and a decline of anxiety with age (Muris et al, 1998(Muris et al, , 1999.…”

“…Research on characteristics of children and adolescents with EBD often describes the problems experienced by such young people in terms of internalizing (such as anxiety or depression) and externalizing (such as aggression) behavior, and the co-development of internalizing and externalizing behaviors. With regard to gender differences, there is general consensus that girls present more internalizing behaviors than boys (Sohn, 2003;Tambelli et al, 2012;Wasserman et al, 2005), and that boys present more externalizing behaviors than girls (Duchesne and Larose, 2007;Masi et al, 2004). Comorbidity between internalizing disorders, externalizing disorders and other problems are described in the literature.…”

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of anxiety in youngsters with emotional and behavioral disorders, and its relation to other problems, using different informants. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected in a Flemish treatment center. Educators completed a Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) for each child, teachers completed a Teacher Report Form (TRF), and youth themselves completed a Youth Self Report (YSR) and a Screen for Child Anxiety Related Emotional Disorders (SCARED). Findings – Analyses indicated an explicit presence of anxiety. A clear relation was found between anxiety symptoms and internalizing problem behavior on the YSR, whereas only a slight relationship was found with the CBCL, and practically no relationship was found with the TRF. Only few correlations between anxiety and externalizing problems were found. Finally, youth themselves indicated strong correlations between anxiety and thought problems, whereas educators indicated strong correlations between youths’ anxiety and social problems. Originality/value – Several studies describe professionals’ difficulties to get a comprehensive perceptions of youths’ problems. This paper provides detailed insights in the nature of the informant discrepancies.

The Implementation of Life Space Crisis Intervention in Residential Care and Special Education for Children and Adolescents with EBD: An Effect Study

et al. 2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

When working with children and adolescents with emotional and behavioural disorders, conflicts are a part of daily life. At present, a variety of conflict resolution or conflict management programs, that can be divided into three categories, are described in the literature. A first category contains programs that focus on training for children and adolescents, and are often curriculum-based. The second category focuses on training for parents, and the third category contains programs that focus on training for professionals. The presents study was designed to evaluated the effectiveness of Life Space Crisis Intervention (LSCI), a therapeutic and verbal strategy developed by Long that fits into this third category of conflict management programs. Throughout a four-year project, al staff in a Flemish centre offering residential care and special education were trained in LSCI. On a yearly basis, data with regard to time in program, academic achievement, behavioural problems and anxiety problems were collected. The results show an increase in time spent in program and in academic achievement, and a decrease in youths' anxiety, indicating that the implementation of LSCI contributes constructively to the treatment of children and adolescents with EBD.
