Attachment in adolescence: overlap with parenting and unique prediction of behavioural adjustment / Stephen SCOTT in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 52-10 (October 2011)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 52-10 (October 2011) . - p.1052-1062 Titre : Attachment in adolescence: overlap with parenting and unique prediction of behavioural adjustment Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Stephen SCOTT, Auteur ; Jacqueline A. BRISKMAN, Auteur ; Matthew WOOLGAR, Auteur ; Sajid HUMAYUN, Auteur ; Thomas G. O'CONNOR, Auteur Année de publication : 2011 Article en page(s) : p.1052-1062 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Attachment  antisocial behaviour  behaviour problems  adolescence  parent–child relationships Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background:  Attachment theory was conceptualized by Bowlby as relevant across the life span, from ‘cradle to grave’. The research literature on attachment in infants and preschool-aged children is extensive, but it is limited in adolescence. In particular, it is unclear whether or not attachment security is distinguishable from other qualities of the parent–adolescent relationship and predicts adjustment independently of alternate measures of it. Methods:  Data from three parallel studies of adolescents, representing normal- to high-risk status, were combined, n = 248. Attachment was assessed using the Child Attachment Interview, a recently constructed measure designed for older children and adolescents. Parent–adolescent relationship quality was assessed in detail through questionnaires, interviews and observation of a standard problem-solving interaction. Adolescent adjustment was assessed through parental psychiatric interview, teacher questionnaire and adolescent self-report. Results:  Bivariate analyses showed that secure attachment representations were modestly associated with diverse measures of the current parent–adolescent relationship such as monitoring, negative expressed emotion, and directly observed parental warmth and anger. In addition, attachment representations were reliably associated with key indicators of psychological adjustment in adolescence, including parent-rated oppositional-defiant disorder symptoms and teacher-reported emotional and behavioural difficulties. Regression analyses revealed that secure attachment representations explained unique variance in these indicators of adjustment, independent of alternative measures of the parent–adolescent relationship. Conclusion:  Adolescents’ representational models of attachment are related to but distinct from current parenting quality and provide unique insight into the understanding of behavioural adjustment. The findings support a distinct conceptual role of attachment representations in adolescence. Clinical assessment and treatment models should include attachment patterns in this age group.

Randomized controlled trial of Functional Family Therapy for offending and antisocial behavior in UK youth / Sajid HUMAYUN in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 58-9 (September 2017)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 58-9 (September 2017) . - p.1023-1032 Titre : Randomized controlled trial of Functional Family Therapy for offending and antisocial behavior in UK youth Type de document : Texte imprimé et/ou numérique Auteurs : Sajid HUMAYUN, Auteur ; Lauren HERLITZ, Auteur ; Melanie CHESNOKOV, Auteur ; Moira DOOLAN, Auteur ; Sabine LANDAU, Auteur ; Stephen SCOTT, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.1023-1032 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : antisocial behavior  conduct disorder  FFT  offending  parenting  RCT  UK  youth Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background Youth offending and antisocial behavior (ASB) are associated with low quality mental health and relationships and usually lead to poor adult functioning; they are very costly for society. Family interventions are effective in children but there are few reliably effective and inexpensive interventions for adolescents. Functional Family Therapy (FFT) is an evidence-based intervention but seldom tested outside the United States. Methods One hundred and eleven adolescents (10–17 years of age, M = 15.0, SD = 1.63) and their families were randomized to FFT + Management As Usual (MAU) (n = 65) or to MAU (n = 46). Assessments were made at baseline 6, and 18 months after randomization and included interviews and questionnaires of parenting behaviors, conduct disorders (CDs) and offending. Parent–child interaction was directly observed and police records obtained. Trial registration: ISRCTN27650478. Results Eighty-nine (80%) were followed-up. In both groups, there were large reductions over time in all measures of offending and antisocial behavior (e.g. primary outcome p < 0.001), but no significant changes over time in parenting behavior or the parent–child relationship. However, there were no differences between intervention and control groups at 6 or 18 months on self-reported delinquency, police records of offending, symptoms or diagnoses of CDs, parental monitoring or supervision, directly observed child negative behavior, or parental positive or negative behavior. Against predictions, the intervention group showed lower levels of directly observed child positive behavior at 18 months compared to controls. Conclusions In contrast to most previous trials of FFT, FFT+MAU did not lead to greater reductions in youth ASB and offending compared to MAU alone, and did not lead to improvements in parenting or the parent–child relationship. This may be because the trial was more rigorously conducted than prior studies; equally, the possibility that MAU was effective requires further research.
