Format : 14cm x 20,5cm x 2,5cm ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-2-02-105430-9 Note générale : Bibliogr. Langues : Français (fre) Index. décimale : THE Thérapies - Prises en charge Résumé : En France, aux États-Unis et au Canada se développent des psychothérapies d’un genre nouveau, associant au psychothérapeute un ou plusieurs animaux, chevaux, ânes, dauphins ou chien. Aujourd’hui limitées au traitement de la dépression, de l’autisme, de l’anorexie et des addictions, elles s’y révèlent cependant d’une efficacité étonnante. Comment l’expliquer ? Les animaux servent-ils de substitut affectif ? Leur émotivité, leur subjectivité n’intervient-elle pas également ? Afin de décrire ces pratiques nouvelles et d’expliquer les raisons de leur efficacité, ce livre reconstitue les découvertes qui leur ont donné naissance. Deux champs de recherche sont ainsi parcourus : l’éthologie et l’exploration du psychisme. Sandrine Willems montre comment, critiquant ou approfondissant la réflexion philosophique sur la spécificité de l’animal, les éthologues ont fait apparaître l’émotivité de certains animaux, leur capacité à souffrir, leur subjectivité. Elle montre aussi comment ces apports déterminants ont rencontré une réflexion récurrente depuis Freud et jusqu’à la psychiatrie, sur la relation de l’homme avec son animal familier. Enfin, elle souligne que l’étude de l’animal permet de concevoir des caractéristiques du psychisme humain. Précédée par ce passionnant éclairage, la présentation, concrète et vivante, des psychothérapies accompagnées par des animaux, les fait apparaître comme promises à un long avenir. Sandrine Willems est psychologue clinicienne de formation analytique. Elle a publié de nombreux articles sur les psychothérapies accompagnées par des animaux et enquêté auprès des psychothérapeutes qui travaillent dans cette voie nouvelle.

Are thyroid hormone concentrations at birth associated with subsequent autism diagnosis? / Sumi HOSHIKO in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012)

We hypothesized that perturbations of early thyroid profiles may contribute to the development of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Thyroid pathways could provide a mechanism by which environmental factors that affect the thyroid system may impact autism occurrence or phenotypic expression. We investigated whether thyroxine (T4) levels at birth are associated with subsequent ASD, using two existing California study groups in multivariate analysis. One study group included children born in the San Francisco Bay Area in 1994, with cases identified through the California Department of Developmental Services (DDS) and/or the Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California (244 cases, 266 controls); the other included children born in California in 1995, with cases identified through DDS (310 cases, 518 controls). Matched controls were selected from birth certificate records. This exploratory analysis suggested that infants with very low T4 (<3rd percentile) may have higher ASD risk, although results reached statistical significance only for the 1995 study group (1995: OR = 2.74 (95% CI 1.30–5.75; 1994: OR = 1.71 (95% CI 0.57–5.19). A variety of alternate analyses were conducted with available data, without further resolution of the difference between the two study groups. The results of our study indicate that further studies are warranted to investigate whether thyroid hormone perturbations play a role in the development of ASD by evaluating additional potential confounders and genotype or phenotype in larger studies.

Face recognition performance of individuals with Asperger syndrome on the Cambridge face memory test / Darren HEDLEY in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012)

This in part reflects the failure to use standardized and psychometrically sound tests. We contrasted standardized face recognition scores on the Cambridge Face Memory Test (CFMT) for 34 individuals with AS with those for 42, IQ-matched non-ASD individuals, and age-standardized scores from a large Australian cohort. We also examined the influence of IQ, autistic traits, and negative affect on face recognition performance. Overall, participants with AS performed significantly worse on the CFMT than the non-ASD participants and when evaluated against standardized test norms. However, while 24% of participants with AS presented with severe face recognition impairment (>2 SDs below the mean), many individuals performed at or above the typical level for their age: 53% scored within +/− 1 SD of the mean and 9% demonstrated superior performance (>1 SD above the mean). Regression analysis provided no evidence that IQ, autistic traits, or negative affect significantly influenced face recognition: diagnostic group membership was the only significant predictor of face recognition performance. In sum, face recognition performance in ASD is on a continuum, but with average levels significantly below non-ASD levels of performance.

Better fear conditioning is associated with reduced symptom severity in autism spectrum disorders / Mikle SOUTH in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012)

The handful of psychophysiological studies examining amygdala function in ASD using classical fear conditioning paradigms have yielded discordant results. We recorded skin conductance response (SCR) during a simple discrimination conditioning task in 30 children and adolescents (ages 8–18) diagnosed with high-functioning ASD and 30 age- and IQ-matched, typically developing controls. SCR response in the ASD group was uniquely and positively associated with social anxiety; and negatively correlated with autism symptom severity, in particular with social functioning. Fear conditioning studies have tremendous potential to aid understanding regarding the amygdale's role in the varied symptom profile of ASD. Our data demonstrate that such studies require careful attention to task-specific factors, including task complexity; and also to contributions of dimensional, within-group factors that contribute to ASD heterogeneity.

McMAHON, Auteur Année de publication : 2012 Article en page(s) : p.438-448 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : This study examined the hypotheses that (1) sociodemographic risk factors in young children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and/or intellectual disability (ID) significantly vary by disability type, and (2) measures of income (mean adjusted gross income, mean federal taxes paid, and mean tax exemptions) significantly increase between 1994 and 2002, and are lower in families with a child with ASD and/or ID compared with the general population. A multiple source surveillance system utilizing a retrospective record review was used to identify ASD and ID cases from a population of 26,108 eight-year-old children born in 1994 and living in Utah in 2002. ASD without ID (ASD-only, n = 99) cases were significantly more likely to be male (P<0.01) and have mothers of White non-Hispanic ethnicity (P = 0.02). ASD with ID (ASD/ID, n = 33) cases were significantly more likely to be male (P<0.01) and have mothers older than 34 years (P = 0.03). ID without ASD (ID-only, n = 113) cases were significantly more likely to have fathers older than 34 years (P<0.01) and were significantly less likely to have mothers with >13 years education (P<0.01). Measures of income for cases at birth and at 8 years of age were not significantly lower than the general population and mean adjusted income of cases significantly increased from birth to 8 years of age. Investigations focused on defining early sociodemographic risk factors by different endophenotypes of ASD may assist in identifying risk factors for this complex group of neurodevelopmental disorders. Aggregate tax information may be a unique resource to utilize for population-based analysis.

Abstractness and continuity in the syntactic development of young children with autism / Letitia R. NAIGLES in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012)

In this study, we examine the extent to which children with ASD have abstracted the transitive (SVO) frame in English. Participants in a longitudinal study of language acquisition in children with autism (17 children with ASD averaging 41 months of age, 18 TD children averaging 28 months of age) were taught two novel verbs in transitive sentences and asked (via intermodal preferential looking) whether these verbs mapped onto novel causative vs. noncausative actions. Both groups consistently mapped the verbs onto the causative actions (i.e. they engaged in syntactic bootstrapping). Moreover, the children with ASD's performance on this task was significantly and independently predicted by both vocabulary and sentence-processing measures obtained 8 months earlier. We conclude that many children with ASD are able to generalize grammatical patterns, and this ability may derive from earlier lexical and grammatical knowledge.

Verbal problem-solving in autism spectrum disorders: A problem of plan construction? / Ben ALDERSON-DAY in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012)

This study examined the hypotheses that this can be explained by differences in (i) planning processes or (ii) selective attention. Twenty-two children with ASD and 21 TD controls matched for age (Mage = 13:7) and cognitive ability (MFSIQ = 96.42) were tested on an adapted version of Twenty Questions and two planning tasks. ASD participants could recognize effective questions as well as TD participants on a forced-choice question discrimination task, but were observed to construct plans that were significantly less efficient. ASD performance was also specifically reduced when items could not be physically removed from the testing array, although this effect could be ameliorated by keeping a written record of participant questions during search. These findings indicate that ASD participants are sensitive to the within-task executive demands of Twenty Questions, but that their inefficiency in strategy relates to planning processes and question selection pretask. The implications for understanding ASD problem-solving skills and their impact on everyday functioning are discussed.

Twenty-two children with ASD and 21 TD controls matched for age (Mage = 13:7) and cognitive ability (MFSIQ = 96.42) were tested on an adapted version of Twenty Questions and two planning tasks. ASD participants could recognize effective questions as well as TD participants on a forced-choice question discrimination task, but were observed to construct plans that were significantly less efficient. ASD performance was also specifically reduced when items could not be physically removed from the testing array, although this effect could be ameliorated by keeping a written record of participant questions during search. These findings indicate that ASD participants are sensitive to the within-task executive demands of Twenty Questions, but that their inefficiency in strategy relates to planning processes and question selection pretask. The implications for understanding ASD problem-solving skills and their impact on everyday functioning are discussed. En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/aur.222

Genetically inbred Balb/c mice differ from outbred Swiss Webster mice on discrete measures of sociability: relevance to a genetic mouse model of autism spectrum disorders / Luis F. JACOME in Autism Research, 4-6 (December 2012) 

Public ISBD [article]  inAutism Research > 4-6 (December 2012) . - p.393-400 Titre : Genetically inbred Balb/c mice differ from outbred Swiss Webster mice on discrete measures of sociability: relevance to a genetic mouse model of autism spectrum disorders Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Luis F.

A standard procedure was used to measure sociability in 8-week-old male genetically inbred Balb/c and outbred Swiss Webster mice. Moreover, because impaired sociability may influence the social behavior of stimulus mice, we also measured the proportion of total episodes of social approach made by the stimulus mouse while test and stimulus mice were allowed to interact freely. Three raters with good inter-rater agreement evaluated operationally defined measures of sociability chosen because of their descriptive similarity to deficits of social behavior reported in persons with ASDs. The data support previous reports that the Balb/c mouse is a genetic mouse model of impaired sociability. The data also show that the behavior of the social stimulus mouse is influenced by the impaired sociability of the Balb/c strain. Interestingly, operationally defined measures of sociability did not necessarily correlate with each other within mouse strain and the profile of correlated measures differed between strains. Finally, “stereotypic” behaviors (i.e. rearing, grooming and wall climbing) recorded during the session of free interaction between the test and social stimulus mice were more intensely displayed by Swiss Webster than Balb/c mice, suggesting that the domains of sociability and “restricted repetitive and stereotyped patterns of behavior” are independent of each other in the Balb/c strain.
