Subjective complaints versus actual cognitive deficits in predominantly symptomatic HIV-1 seropositive individuals.

The relationship of self-reported cognitive, motor, and affective complaints to actual neuropsychological functioning was explored in a cohort of predominantly symptomatic HIV-1 seropositive individuals. Ninety-two symptomatic HIV-1 infected subjects were questioned about complaints common in HIV infection and were assessed with a comprehensive neuropsychological test battery. No relationship was found between subjective complaints and cognitive functioning, yet a significant relationship was found between self-reported difficulties and formal measures of affect and mood. Failure to show a relationship between self-reported cognitive status and actual neuropsychological functioning in this cohort suggests that complaints of cognitive decline may be attributable to emotional factors.

Pediatric psychology training: an analysis of graduate, internship, and postdoctoral programs.

The field of pediatric psychology is in the early stages of formulating its own identity relative to other areas, such as clinical child and health psychology. This paper complements other recent efforts to delineate training practices and guidelines. Questionnaires regarding doctoral, internship, and postdoctoral training experiences were obtained from 89% of the membership of the Society of Pediatric Psychology. From this information, rankings of the most commonly attended programs at each training level were derived. Some overlap was apparent between doctoral programs that were conducive to training in pediatric and clinical child psychology; however, differences between programs in these areas also were noted. The most commonly attended internship and postdoctoral settings were those in major medical centers or children's hospitals. Suggestions for investigating the current status of predoctoral, internship, and postdoctoral programs that may be facilitative of training in pediatric psychology are discussed.
