Abstract

Regarding diagnostic criteria for paranoia (delusional disorder) today psychiatry usually refers to Kraepelin, suggesting that this diagnostic category has existed more or less unchanged since the end of the 19th century. But, reviewing German literature on this topic, one can find a lively discussion with regard to definition, development and course. In this context, the position of affective symptomatology - especially dysphoria with its various meanings - is of major interest. This paper aims at clarifying some definitory questions and at recalling the 'old' paranoia dispute which is worth rediscovering as a stimulation for modern classification and clinical practice.

Awareness of single and multiple emotions in high-functioning children with autism.

This study examined emotional awareness in children with autism. Twenty-two high functioning children with autism (mean age 10 years and 2 months) and 22 typically developing children, matched for age and gender, were presented with the four basic emotions (happiness, anger, sadness and fear) in single and multiple emotion tasks. Findings suggest that children with autism have difficulties identifying their own emotions and less developed emotion concepts (which causes an impaired capacity to differentiate between one's emotions within the negative spectrum). The outcome seems to point more to a single emotion perspective within the negative domain, with a more prominent position of fear in children with autism than in typically developing children.

Predicting change in parenting stress across early childhood: child and maternal factors.

This study examined maternal parenting stress in a sample of 430 boys and girls including those at risk for externalizing behavior problems. Children and their mothers were assessed when the children were ages 2, 4, and 5. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) was used to examine stability of parenting stress across early childhood and to examine child and maternal factors predicting parenting stress at age 2 and changes in parenting stress across time. Results indicated that single parenthood, maternal psychopathology, child anger proneness, and child emotion dysregulation predicted 2-year parenting stress. Child externalizing behaviors predicted initial status and changes across time in parenting stress. Stability of parenting stress was dependent upon child externalizing problems, as well as interactions between child externalizing problems and gender, and child externalizing problems and emotion regulation. Results are discussed in the context of mechanisms by which parenting stress may influence the development of child externalizing behaviors.
