ABSTRACT

Resumo Em Cabo-Verde, desde finais dos anos 90 tem-se assistido a um aumento crescente dos comportamentos antissociais cometidos por jovens com idades compreendidas entre os 12 e os 21 anos. Todavia, o conhecimento acerca dos fatores que estão na génese e manutenção de tais comportamentos revela-se, ainda, incipiente. Neste estudo procurou-se identificar os fatores que predizem comportamentos antissociais auto relatados, recorrendo-se, para o efeito, aoInternational Self-Report DelinquencyStudy (ISRD-3). A amostra foi constituída por 535 alunos de ambos os sexos a frequentar o ensino público secundário em Cabo Verde, sendo 284 (53%) do sexo feminino e 247 (46.25%) do sexo masculino. A idade dos jovens varia entre os 13 e os 21 anos, tendo uma média de idade de 16.66 e um desvio padrão de 2.04. Os resultados indicam que o sexo é um forte preditor da perpetração de comportamentos antissociais, sendo que indivíduos do sexo masculino revelam maior probabilidade de envolvimento em comportamentos antissociais. Os adolescentes com menos atitudes antissociais são também aqueles com menor probabilidade de se envolverem em comportamentos antisociais. Da mesma forma, e ainda que apenas se revele marginalmente significativa, os adolescentes que relatam maior envolvimento em atividades antissociais evidenciam uma maior probabilidade de se envolverem em atividades de ocupação dos tempos livres disruptivas. Estes resultados são analisados em termos das suas implicações para a prevenção da delinquência.


Abstract In Cape Verde, since the end of the 1990s years there has been a significant increase of antisocial behaviors committed by young people (aged 12 and 21). Nevertheless, knowledge of factors that lie at the origin and maintenance of such behaviors still reveals incident or are still at an early stage. In this study, we tried to identify possible risk factors that forecast antisocial behaviour, self-reported by using, for this purpose, the International Self-Report Delinquency Study (ISRD-3).The sample consisted of 535 students from both sexes attending public secondary education in Cape Verde, of which 284 (53%) were females and 247 (46.25%) males. The age of young people varies between 13 and 21 years, having an average age of 16.66 and a standard deviation of 2.04. The results indicate that sex is a strong predictor of perpetration of antisocial behaviors, given that males show greater probability of engaging in antisocial behaviors. Teenagers with less antisocial attitudes are also those with less probability to engage in antisocial behaviors. Likewise, and even if only reveals marginally significant, adolescents who report major involvement in antisocial activities highlights a greater probability to engage in disruptive hobby activities. These results are analyzed in terms of their implications for the prevention of delinquency.

ABSTRACT

Based on evolutionary theories, this study analyzes reasons for sharing and retention and the association of these reasons according to age and the presence of conduct disorder symptoms in children. Therefore, the children participated in a prosocial activity, in which they had to decide if they would like to share a prize with his/her classroom best friend. Finally, the experimenter asked them to explain the reasons for his/her decision. The results showed that children considered factors such as reciprocity probability, sharing cost, benefit to the recipient, moral justification and kinship. Furthermore, the conduct disorder symptoms group showed a weak association to social issues and younger children assign greater cost on sharing the prize, compared to older ones. It is possible to understand the reasons provided by the children in the light of evolutionary theories on cooperation, altruism and generosity.


Baseado nas teorias evolucionistas, este estudo analisa as justificativas de partilha e de retenção, assim como a associação dessas justificativas com a faixa etária e a presença ou ausência de sintomatologia do transtorno da conduta em crianças. Para isso, as crianças passaram por uma atividade pró-social, na qual decidiam se gostariam de partilhar ou não com seu melhor amigo de classe. Por fim, o experimentador solicitava para que elas explicassem as razões de sua decisão. Os resultados mostraram que as crianças consideraram fatores como: probabilidade de reciprocidade, custo da partilha, benefício para o receptor, justificativas morais e parentesco. Além disso, o grupo com a sintomatologia do transtorno da conduta mostrou uma relação muito fraca com respostas relacionadas a questões sociais e as crianças mais jovens, comparadas as mais velhas, atribuíram maior custo para partilhar os objetos. As justificativas dadas pelas crianças respaldam as teorias evolucionistas sobre cooperação, altruísmo e generosidade.


Basado en las teorías evolucionistas, este estudio analiza las justificativas del compartir y del retener, así como la asociación de esas justificativas con el rango de edad, la presencia o ausencia de sintomatología de trastorno de conducta en niños. Para esto, los niños participaron de una actividad pro-social, en la cual debían decidir compartir o no con su mejor amigo de la clase. Al final, el experimentador les solicitaba que explicaran las razones de su decisión. Los resultados mostraron que los niños consideraron factores como: probabilidad de reciprocidad, costo de compartir, beneficio para el receptor, justificativas morales y parentesco. Además de eso, el grupo con la sintomatología de trastorno de conducta mostró una relación muy débil con respuestas relacionadas a cuestiones sociales y los infantes más jóvenes, comparados a los mayores, atribuyeron mayor costo para compartir los objetos. Las justificativas dadas por los infantes respaldan las teorías evolucionistas sobre cooperación, altruismo y generosidad.

ABSTRACT

Este artigo de revisão de literatura examinou o construto da psicopatia associado ao desenvolvimento da personalidade em crianças e adolescentes, privilegiando as questões diagnósticas incipientes. Observou-se que a busca de uma terminologia mais apropriada para descrever as manifestações desviantes precoces, a construção e utilização de instrumentos de avaliação dirigidos à psicopatia em jovens, bem como a estabilidade dos sintomas ao longo do desenvolvimento, têm sido preocupações recorrentes nas pesquisas atuais. Pode-se afirmar que a presença de traços de psicopatia na infância e adolescência ainda suscita questionamentos, demandando por estudos empíricos que explorem aspectos evolutivos e a etiologia multifatorial do construto, preferencialmente, dentro da concepção geral dos transtornos de personalidade.


This literature review article examined the psychopathy construct associated to the development of personality in children and adolescents focusing on the incipient diagnostic issues. It was observed that the search for a more appropriate terminology for describing the early deviant manifestations, the building and using of instruments of evaluation directed to psychopathy in youngsters as well as the stability of the symptoms during growth have been recurrent issues in current researches. It can be affirmed that the presence of psychopathy traits in childhood and adolescence still raises doubts, requiring empirical studies which explore the evolutive aspects and the multifactorial etiology, preferentially within the general conception of personality disorders.

ABSTRACT

A justificativa para o treino de pais repousa na premissa de que os problemas de comportamento são produto das contingências de reforçamento dispostas pelos pais. O presente trabalho discute aspectos importantes de alguns programas de intervenções com pais, atribuindo maior ênfase às famílias que concomitantemente se deparam com problemas de comportamento dos filhos e enfrentam conflitos conjugais. Partindo deste posicionamento, apresenta-se um retrospecto de como os programas com pais evoluíram até o momento atual, variáveis de contexto e suas relações com problemas de comportamento e resultados de intervenções e pesquisas que versam sobre intervenção com pais, que incluem como objetivos a redução de problemas de comportamento associada à modificação do relacionamento conjugal; e discussão de limitações e avanços para estudos futuros.


This paper aims to discuss aspects of some parent skills training program giving greater emphasis to families who concomitantly are faced with behavior problems and marital conflicts. From this view, discusses in the following section a retrospect, as the parent training program progressed until the present time; contextual variables and its relations with behavior problems and results of interventions; studies that include as objectives the reduction of behavior problems associated with the modification of conjugal relationship. In the end, the paper points out limitations and advances for further studies.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo: este artículo revisa el concepto de hipersexualidad, las condiciones asociadas a dicho comportamiento así como los tratamientos indicados para el mismo.Métodos: llevamos a cabo una búsqueda en internet de artículos en lenguaje inglés publicados en los últimos 20 años (hipersexualidad, sexualidad humana, comportamiento hipersexual, ninfomanía).Resultados: la hipersexualidad es un cambio en las formas e incremento en la frecuencia de los comportamientos sexuales. La etiología de la hipersexualidad es compleja e involucra una variedad de mecanismos fisiológicos y psicológicos. Puede ser idiopática o el resultado final de muchos procesos de enfermedad subyacentes. La disfunción del lóbulo frontal y de otras áreas cerebrales puede conducir a la desinhibición en el comportamiento sexual y a hipersexualidad; esta condición también puede ser el resultado de otros trastornos neurológicos, psiquiátricos o efectos secundarios de medicamentos. Cuando la causa subyacente puede ser tratada, el comportamiento sexual desinhibido cesa. Conclusión: la hipersexualidad puede ocasionar conductas de difícil manejo, pero los métodos farmacológicos pueden controlar de manera exitosa estos comportamientos en la mayoría de los pacientes.


Objective: This article reviews the concept of hypersexuality, the conditions attached to such behavior and the treatments prescribed for it. Methods: We conducted an internet search for English-language articles published over the past 20 years (Hypersexuality, human sexuality, hypersexual behavior, Nymphomania). Results: Hypersexuality is a change in the ways and an increase in the frequency of the sexual behaviors. The etiology of hypersexuality is complex and involves a variety of physiological and psychological mechanisms. It may be idiopathic or the final result of many underling disease processes. The dysfunction of the frontal lobe and other brain areas can lead to the disinhibition in the sexual behavior and hypersexuality; this condition can also be the result of other neurological and psychiatric disorders or an adverse effect of medications. When the underlying cause can be treated, the uninhibited sexual behavior ceases. Conclusion: Hypersexuality can cause unmanageable behavior, but pharmacological methods can successfully control this behavior in most patients.

ABSTRACT

This study aimed at identifying the relationship between psychological distress and suicidal tendency of depressed patients. A descriptive correlational design was utilized in this study. A sample of convenience of 100 depressed patients was recruited from the Out-patient Clinic of Tahnasha Psychiatric Hospital in El Minia Governorate. A socio-demographic data sheet, Suicidal Tendency Scale, Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale [DASS] were used to achieve the purpose of the study. A semi-structured interview method was used to collect data from patients. Results of this study revealed that, almost two third of the subjects were females, married, illiterate, unemployed, residing rural areas, and most of them were in the age group ranged from 20-39 years old. More than one third of the subjects were attempting suicide from one to three times or more. A statistically significant correlation was detected between suicidal tendency and psychological distress. In conclusion, depressed patients are having multiple stressors, social, environmental, and interpersonal factors that with their personality character can aggravate the symptom of depression and interfere with their productivity, initiation, and prevent the interaction with others. It was recommended that, a training program should be designed for nurses who are dealing with depressed patients and specially those who are at risk for suicide to provide them with knowledge about how to assess those patients, evaluate their needs, and prevent the risk of suicide

ABSTRACT

Este artigo discorre sobre uma experiência conduzida com adolescentes psicopatas confiados a uma instituição encarregada de reeducá-los e de reinseri-los. Para resolver as tensões que enfrentam, esses adolescentes recorrem necessariamente a um agir que, se nada esclarece sobre o caráter dos problemas, tem por mérito diminuir temporariamente as tensões que encontram. A verbalização e a simbolização não são, portanto, os modelos preferidos em seus modos de troca e de relação que degeneram freqüentemente em comportamentos violentos. Visto de certa maneira, o sociodrama constitui uma etapa primeira no contínuo dessa assistência ao mal-estar importante de que sofrem esses adolescentes psicopatas.


This article is a report on an experiment which was carried out with psychopath teenagers who had been left with an institution to be re-educated and reintegrated . in order to settle the tensions they necessarily face, these teenagers turn to a kind of action which has the merit of temporarily reducing the tensions they meet even if it doesn?t solve the root of the problem; As a consequence, verbalization and symbolization are not the favourite patterns in their verbal and relational exchanges , which most of the time degenerate into different forms of violent behaviour. If you consider it that way, socio drama is in fact the first step in the process of taking a grip on their important uneasiness.


Este texto relata la experiencia cabo con adolescentes psicopatas, a cargo de uma institución de reeducación. Os adolescentes para resolver las tensiones cotidianas se sirven de acciones que no necesariamente resuelven la problemática de fondo. La verbalización y la simbolización no son los modos mas usuales y por lo tanto no pocas veces recurren a comportamientos violentos. De esta forma, el sociodrama pasa a ser el lugar donde el malestar y el sufrimiento de los adolescentes encuentra acogida y escucha.

ABSTRACT

Com o objetivo de identificar a incidência de problemas emocionais e comportamentais e os tipos de problemas de comportamento que aparecem associados ao desempenho escolar, aplicou-se a Escala Comportamental Infantil A2 e a Escala B de Rutter a dois grupos de crianças, um com baixo rendimento acadêmico (BRA) e outro com alto rendimento (ARA), cada grupo com 20 crianças, alunos de primeira e segundas séries, com idades que variaram entre 6 e 10 anos. Os resultados mostram que a maioria das crianças do grupo BRA obteve escores indicativos da presença de problemas emocionais/comportamentais, diferente do grupo ARA, e a incidência da maioria dos problemas específicos de comportamento foi sempre maior para o grupo BRA. Destaca-se que problemas de comportamento representam uma forte condição de risco para problemas de aprendizagem e que o trabalho com crianças com dificuldades de aprendizagem deve considerar aspectos ligados também ao comportamento.


This study aimed to identify the incidence of emotional and behavioral problems, as well as the types of behavior problems associated to academic performance. For such purpose, Rutter's Child Behavior Scale-A2 and Rutter's B Scale were applied to students of first and second years of elementary school, aged 6 to 10 years and divided into two groups of 20 children each: a Low Academic Performance group (LAP) and a High Academic Performance group (HAP). The results evidenced that most of children in LAP group, unlike those in HAP group, reached scores indicative of the existence of emotional/behavioral problems, and that the incidence of the majority of the behavior-specific problems was always higher in LAP group. These findings highlight that behavioral problems represent a strong risk condition for learning problems and that working with children with learning disabilities should also take into account features related to behavior.

Sadaqat Clinic, and New Horizons Care Center, Karachi, in April 2005 to May 2006. Drug Addict patients who were Poly drug users and under treatment were selected. After detailed literature review it was hypothesized that 1] Drug Addicts would score high on the variable of aggression as compared to control group. 2] Drug Addicts would score high on the variable of Antisocial Features as compared to control group. The sample consisted of two groups with equal number of drug addict patients [n=25] and normal participants [n=25]. The age range of both groups was from 25-40 [Mean=32.14] years and minimal educational level was middle. Aggression subscale and Antisocial features Subscale of Personality Assessment Inventory [PAI] were administered to measure the variables of Aggression and Antisocial features of drug addicts and Control group. t-test was applied to determine the difference between drug addicts and Control group on the variables of Aggression and Antisocial features. Results showed the significant difference between drug addicts and Control group on the variables of aggression [t=6.012, df=48, p<0.05] and Antisocial features [t=7.828, df=48, p<0.05]. Findings show that Drug Addicts have high level of aggression and antisocial features as compared to Control [normal] group

ABSTRACT

Na Terapia Comportamental, o Treinamento em Habilidades Sociais (THS) é utilizado como forma depromover repertórios socialmente desejados que maximizem os ganhos nas interações e possibilitemrelações sociais e profissionais mais satisfatórias. Neste trabalho, pretendeu-se verificar os efeitos deuma intervenção em grupo através da avaliação de mudanças comportamentais identificadas após oprograma. O estudo foi desenvolvido em uma clínica-escola e dele participaram quatro universitários com queixas de dificuldades interpessoais. Cada membro participou de entrevistas individuais antes e após o programa e respondeu ao Inventário de Habilidades Sociais (IHS). As intervenções constaram de vinte e dois encontros semanais, com aproximadamente duas horas de duração, gravadas e posteriormente transcritas. O procedimento utilizado para avaliar os efeitos da intervenção consistiu na análise de conteúdo das entrevistas pré e pós-intervenção e na análise do IHS conforme categorias descritas no próprio instrumento. Os resultados indicaram a aquisição de alguns repertórios, tais comoo autoconhecimento e habilidades de comunicação, apesar de algumas dificuldades terem se mantido ao final do programa. É importante ressaltar que este pretende ser apenas um estudo piloto, sendo necessário, para maiores conclusões, número maior de participantes, delineamento de grupo controle e experimental e avaliações de seguimento.


In the Behavioral Therapy, the Social Skills Training is used to promote socially desired patterns ofbehavior that aims not only to improve interactions that make social relations possible but alsocontributes to develop more satisfactory social and professional relations. This work attempted toverify the effects of a group intervention through the analysis of behavioral changes that wereidentified after the end of the program. The study was developed in a university clinic and had asparticipants four university students who presented complains concerning interpersonal difficulties. Each participant answered to individual interviews before and after the program, and a self-report inventory. The interventions constituted of twenty-two weekly meetings, lasting two hoursapproximately. The procedure chosen to evaluate the effects of the intervention was the analysis of the content of the pre and post-intervention interviews, and the social skills inventory (IHS). The results indicated that the participants were able to develop some repertoires such as self-awareness and communication skills, even though some difficulties persisted after the end of the program. It is important to note that this work only attempted to serve as a pilot study. Therefore, in order to get to more reliable conclusions, it is necessary a larger number of participants, a control group, and follow-up.

ABSTRACT

Con la mira de conocer al farmacodependiente a heroína, y sus variables sociodemográficas, se revisaron 150 expedientes de un penal y se practicó una entrevista estructurada entre mayo de 1996 y enero de 1997. La incidencia fue mayor en hombres que en mujeres, casi dos terceras partes eran originarios del Estado de Baja California y en su mayoría tenían un nivel de escolaridad básico y desempeñaban oficios o empleos transitorios. En relación al estado civil, predominaron los solteros o en unión libre. El tiempo de adicción a heroína varío de 1 a 5 años, la droga se aplicaba por vía intravenosa, en dosis promedio de seis aplicaciones al día. En relación al delito motivo del encarcelamiento, 82 casos corresponden a robo, y en el resto a daños a la salud, asalto, lesiones, portación de arma prohibida, daños en propiedad ajena, violación y homicidio

ABSTRACT

En este trabajo se analizan las investigaciones y artículos que se han publicado en nuestro país en las tres últimas décadas acerca de las conductas suicidas. Es de gran importancia hacer un recuento de lo que se sabe y de lo que se ha hecho en relación con estas conductas para poder hacer nuevos planeamientos y nuevas estrategias de estudio, que ahonden más en estas conductas que afectan a toda la sociedad. En dicha recopilación se encontró que la mayoría de las investigaciones tratan principalmente de los suicidios consumados en toda la República Mexicana, utilizando información de las Estadisticas Vitales. Son pocos los estudios que se han hecho en los estados de la República; parece ser que en donde más se ha trabajado sobre el tema es en Guadalajara, después del Distrito Federal

ABSTRACT

Se estudió la relación entre el estrés experimentado en la familia y el grado de problemas de conducta en niños preescolares que asisten a una estancia infantil. Los niños cuyas madres habían sufrido un número elevado de factores estresantes agudos durante el año anterior manifestaron más problemas de conducta en el hogar. En la estancia, muy pocos niños presentaron síntomas psicopatológicos y no hubo relación con el estrés familiar agudo. Por lo que respecta a los estresores familiares crónicos, hubo una limitada relación entre los problemas de conducta y las características psicosociales de la familia. Esta relación fue más evidente cuando había alguna persona alcohólica en el hogar. En muchos casos psicopatología infantil es tan necesario incluir al niño como a su familia en el tratamiento

ABSTRACT

A young adult male with dull normal intelligence who had a fetish to female undergarments and was engaging in socially inappropriate sexual behavior was evaluated and treated in a multimodal treatment approach. Mild and diffuse encephalopathies were noted through EEG recordings. No definite epileptiform abnormalities or focal supratentorial lesions were seen and the pattern was consistent with patients with post-encephalitis. Treatment of this patient involved the use of anti-androgen and antianxiety pharmacotherapy along with counseling to provide basic sex education and specific education for socially accepted sexual behavior. Follow-up evaluation several yrs later indicated good treatment results. This case illustrates potential sources of sexually deviant behavior and treatment options. Promising new drug treatments are available which act as sexuoerotic tranquilizers as well as treatments for underlying or concomitant psychiatric disorders. In this case, however, family dynamics and poor sex education seemed to account for most of this patient's difficulties. Counseling and psychoeducation proved to be quite effective in resolving problematic behavior.

ABSTRACT

Se analiza un caso de incesto entre tres hermanos. Este análisis se hace con un enfoque sistémico, en que la conducta incestuosa es considerada como un anomalía funcional del sistema familiar, resultante del fracaso del sistema en el proceso de socialización y formación ética. En esta perspectiva, el incesto, más que ser considerado una manifestación o conducta psicopatológica individual, expresa una disfuncionalidad de la estructura familiar, particularmente en el ejercicio de los roles paternales, de modo que el tabú del incesto no llega a establecerse, y la conducta individual sobrepasa las normas morales convencionales
