Method: We compared attachment narratives, as measured by the Manchester Child Attachment Story Task, in a group of 33 children with a diagnosis of RAD and 37 comparison children.
Results: The relative risk (RR) for children with RAD having an insecure attachment pattern was 2.4 (1.4–4.2) but 30% were rated as securely attached. Within the RAD group, children with a clear history of maltreatment were more likely to be Insecure-Disorganised than children without a clear history of maltreatment.
Conclusions: Reactive attachment disorder is not the same as attachment insecurity, and questions remain about how attachment research informs clinical research on attachment disorders.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2009.02075.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=787

Titre : Children’s perceptions of parental emotional neglect and control and psychopathology Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Robert YOUNG, Auteur ; Susan LENNIE, Auteur ; Helen MINNIS, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.889-897 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : DSM emotional abuse parent–child relationships perception longitudinal studies Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background: Parental emotional neglect is linked to psychiatric disorder. This study explores the associations between children’s perceptions of parental emotional neglect and future psychopathology.
Methods: In a school-based longitudinal study of nearly 1,700 children aged 11–15 we explored children’s perceptions of parenting, as measured by the Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI) at age 11, and their associations with later psychiatric diagnosis at age 15, as measured by computerised psychiatric interview. Rather than using the traditional four-category approach to the PBI, we identified groups of children, classified according to their perceptions of parenting, using latent class analysis.
Results: A small group of children (3%) perceived their parents as almost always emotionally neglectful and controlling. This group had an increased odds of psychiatric disorder (OR 2.14; 95% CI 1.29–4.50), increased overall (standardised) psychiatric symptom scores (B = .46; 95% CI .16–.75) and increased scores in all psychiatric subscales except substance-use at age 15, despite no increase in psychiatric referral at age 11. Analyses controlled for key potential confounders (e.g., socioeconomic status).
Conclusions: Although our findings are limited by having no objective evidence that children’s perceptions of emotional neglect are directly associated with actual neglect, children’s perceptions of neglect and control are associated with over twice the odds of psychiatric disorder at age 15. Children’s perceptions that parents are emotionally neglectful and controlling are independently associated with later psychiatric disorder and should be taken seriously as a risk factor for future psychopathology.En ligne : http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1469-7610.2011.02390.x Permalink : https://www.cra-rhone-alpes.org/cid/opac_css/index.php?lvl=notice_display&id=132

Titre : Maltreatment-associated neurodevelopmental disorders: a co-twin control analysis Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Lisa DINKLER, Auteur ; Sebastian LUNDSTROM, Auteur ; Ruchika GAJWANI, Auteur ; Paul LICHTENSTEIN, Auteur ; Christopher GILLBERG, Auteur ; Helen MINNIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.691-701 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child maltreatment child abuse neurodevelopmental disorders behavior genetics co-twin control design Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Childhood maltreatment (CM) is strongly associated with psychiatric disorders in childhood and adulthood. Previous findings suggest that the association between CM and psychiatric disorders is partly causal and partly due to familial confounding, but few studies have investigated the mechanisms behind the association between CM and neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). Our objective was to determine whether maltreated children have an elevated number of NDDs and whether CM is a risk factor for an increased NDD ‘load’ and increased NDD symptoms when controlling for familial effects. Methods We used a cross-sectional sample from a population-representative Swedish twin study, comprising 8,192 nine-year-old twins born in Sweden between 1997 and 2005. CM was defined as parent-reported exposure to emotional abuse/neglect, physical neglect, physical abuse, and/or sexual abuse. Four NDDs were measured with the Autism–Tics, AD/HD, and other comorbidities inventory. Results Maltreated children had a greater mean number of NDDs than nonmaltreated children. In a co-twin control design, CM-discordant monozygotic twins did not differ significantly for their number of NDDs, suggesting that CM is not associated with an increased load of NDDs when genetic and shared environmental factors are taken into account. However, CM was associated with a small increase in symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and autism spectrum disorder in CM-discordant MZ twins, although most of the covariance of CM with NDD symptoms was explained by common genetic effects. Conclusions Maltreated children are at higher risk of having multiple NDDs. Our findings are, however, not consistent with the notion that CM causes the increased NDD load in maltreated children. Maltreated children should receive a full neurodevelopmental assessment, and clinicians should be aware that children with multiple NDDs are at higher risk of maltreatment.

Titre : Practitioner Review: Twenty years of research with adverse childhood experience scores - Advantages, disadvantages and applications to practice Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Rebecca E. LACEY, Auteur ; Helen MINNIS, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.116-130 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Adversity child abuse early life experience social psychiatry social work Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : BACKGROUND: Adverse childhood experience (ACE) scores have become a common approach for considering childhood adversities and are highly influential in public policy and clinical practice. Their use is also controversial. Other ways of measuring adversity - examining single adversities, or using theoretically or empirically driven methods - might have advantages over ACE scores. METHODS: In this narrative review we critique the conceptualisation and measurement of ACEs in research, clinical practice, public health and public discourse. RESULTS: The ACE score approach has the advantages - and limitations - of simplicity: its simplicity facilitates wide-ranging applications in public policy, public health and clinical settings but risks over-simplistic communication of risk/causality, determinism and stigma. The other common approach - focussing on single adversities - is also limited because adversities tend to co-occur. Researchers are using rapidly accruing datasets on ACEs to facilitate new theoretical and empirical approaches but this work is at an early stage, e.g. weighting ACEs and including severity, frequency, duration and timing. More research is needed to establish what should be included as an ACE, how individual ACEs should be weighted, how ACEs cluster, and the implications of these findings for clinical work and policy. New ways of conceptualising and measuring ACEs that incorporate this new knowledge, while maintaining some of the simplicity of the current ACE questionnaire, could be helpful for clinicians, practitioners, patients and the public. CONCLUSIONS: Although we welcome the current focus on ACEs, a more critical view of their conceptualisation, measurement, and application to practice settings is urgently needed.

Titre : Prenatal maternal infections and early childhood developmental outcomes: analysis of linked administrative health data for Greater Glasgow & Clyde, Scotland Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Iain HARDIE, Auteur ; Aja MURRAY, Auteur ; Josiah KING, Auteur ; Hildigunnur Anna HALL, Auteur ; Emily LUEDECKE, Auteur ; Louise MARRYAT, Auteur ; Lucy THOMPSON, Auteur ; Helen MINNIS, Auteur ; Philip WILSON, Auteur ; Bonnie AUYEUNG, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.30-40 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Child development maternal factors prenatal infection CNS Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Previous research has linked prenatal maternal infections to later childhood developmental outcomes and socioemotional difficulties. However, existing studies have relied on retrospectively self-reported survey data, or data on hospital-recorded infections only, resulting in gaps in data collection. Methods This study used a large linked administrative health dataset, bringing together data from birth records, hospital records, prescriptions and routine child health reviews for 55,856 children born in Greater Glasgow 95% CI: 1.19?1.42). This was broadly consistent across all developmental outcome types and appeared to be specifically linked to infections occurring in pregnancy trimesters 2 (OR: 1.34; 95% CI: 1.07?1.67) and 3 (OR: 1.33; 95% CI: 1.21?1.47), that is the trimesters in which foetal brain myelination occurs. Infection-related prescriptions were not associated with any clear increase in odds of having at least one developmental concern after confounder/covariate adjustment (OR: 1.03; 95% CI: 0.98?1.08), but were associated with slightly increased odds of concerns specifically related to personal-social (OR: 1.12; 95% CI: 1.03?1.22) and emotional-behavioural-attention (OR: 1.15; 95% CI: 1.08?1.22) development. Conclusions Prenatal infections, particularly those which are hospital-diagnosed (and likely more severe), are associated with early childhood developmental outcomes. Prevention of prenatal infections, and monitoring of support needs of affected children, may improve childhood development, but causality remains to be established.
