Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling in Therapy

Modeling, a key technique in therapy, uses observational learning to help clients acquire and practice new skills by watching therapists demonstrate desired behaviors. This approach, rooted in Albert Bandura's concept of vicarious learning, plays a significant role in therapeutic interventions for various psychological conditions, including social anxiety, ADHD, and depression.
Participant Modeling
Participant modeling involves therapists demonstrating calm and effective behaviors in...

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Case Studies

Case Studies

There are many research methods available to psychologists in their efforts to understand, describe, and explain behavior and the cognitive and biological processes that underlie it.

Longitudinal Research

Longitudinal Research

Sometimes we want to see how people change over time, as in studies of human development and lifespan. When we test the same group of individuals repeatedly over an extended period of time, we are conducting longitudinal research. Longitudinal research is a research design in which data-gathering is administered repeatedly over an extended period of time. For example, we may survey a group of individuals about their dietary habits at age 20, retest them a decade later at age 30, and then again...

Area of Science:

Developmental Psychology
Clinical Psychology
Family Systems Theory

Background:

This study examines the developmental origins of autism through a prospective case study.
It integrates literature review, school experiences, and attachment assessments to understand a child's autism diagnosis.

Observation:

The case study followed 'Graeme' from age 3 to 15, integrating multiple data sources.
Observations included the child's school experience, attachment assessments, and maternal psychological history.
Specific attention was given to maternal communication patterns and family dynamics across generations.

Findings:

The study found support for systemic hypotheses linking family dynamics and relationship 'danger' to autism development.
The mother's childhood experiences of marital discord were found to be repeated in her own marriage, impacting Graeme.
Crucial information regarding the mother's psychological history was identified as key to understanding Graeme's developmental trajectory.

Implications:

Understanding autism may require examining family functioning across at least two generations.
This multi-generational perspective can offer new insights into autism and support for affected families.
Integrating maternal psychological history is crucial for accurate clinical formulation in autism cases.
