Article 2: Stressors and child and adolescent psychopathology: Moving from markers to
mechanisms of risk.
The authors assess available studies on the relationship between stresses and
psychopathology symptoms in children and adolescents. This research demonstrates (a) issues
with stress conceptualization, (b) variability in stressor measurement, and (c) a paucity of theory-
driven research. The authors suggest a general conceptual model of the relationship between
stressors and child and adolescent psychopathology to address these issues. The authors test a
specific hypothesis in which negative parenting mediates the relationship between economic
pressures and psychological symptoms in young people in the second half of this study, which
examines essential aspects of this broad model. The results generally back up the specific model
as well as the overall model.
In the field of child and adolescent psychotherapy, the therapeutic partnership has a long
history. This article examines popular perspectives on young alliances and considers a variety of
problems that set youth alliances apart from their adult counterparts. In individual adolescent
treatment, a meta-analysis of alliance–outcome connections is reported. Only prospective studies
of individual adolescent treatment that included an explicit measure of alliance were included in
the review in order to provide a direct comparison with the adult literature. With a weighted
mean correlation of.22 (k = 16, n = 1306, p.001) between alliance and outcome (CI = +/.06),
results from 16 trials were consistent with the adult literature. Despite trends demonstrating
greater alliance–outcome relationships for child versus adolescent therapy and behavioral versus
nonbehavioral therapies, only problem type (substance abuse and mixed difficulties vs. eating
disorders) altered alliance–outcome associations considerably. The study's limitations are
examined, as well as the consequences for therapeutic practice.
Article 4: Anatomic Magnetic Resonance Imaging of the Developing Child and Adolescent
Brain and Effects of Genetic Variation
Magnetic resonance imaging studies have started to map the effects of genetic diversity
on brain development trajectories. Longitudinal studies of children and adolescents show a
general pattern of gray matter peaks in childhood followed by adolescent declines, functional and
structural increases in connectivity and integrative processing, and a shifting balance between
limbic/subcortical and frontal lobe functions that lasts well into young adulthood. Genetic
variables are responsible for a large percentage of variation in pediatric brain morphometry,
according to twin studies. Specific genetic variants have been found to influence the rate of
cortical changes related with maturation in longitudinal investigations. Although there is still a
risk of misinterpretation and inappropriate use of neuroimaging findings for diagnostic purposes,
data from multiple imaging modalities is beginning to reveal the effects of genetic factors on
brain development and the implications of maturational changes for cognition, emotion, and
behavior.
2. Filipino adolescents define as supportive in their lives, given a collectivist and interdependent
cultural background. Despite the country's economic prosperity, many Filipino children are
denied basic rights. Multiple and deep-rooted deprivations and vulnerabilities continue to
obstruct Filipino children's survival, growth, protection, and participation. According to
UNICEF, there is complex set of inter-related causes underlying the deprivation experienced by
children in the Philippines and highlights numerous barriers that continue to impede the full
realisation of their rights. Some of which are:
Enabling environment that includes Legal and policy frameworks, Governance and
Coordination, Budgeting and finance, Data collection and use and Harmful sociocultural
norms, practices and beliefs.
Supply which includes Human resources, and Logistics and procurement
Demand that includes Insufficient awareness and knowledge, financial barriers,
Sociocultural norms, practices and belied, and Physical access
Quality
Risk (disasters and conflicts)
The Philippine government must show a great commitment to improving the plight of
children. Despite advancements, many girls and boys continue to suffer obstacles to fully
realizing their rights, which has a negative impact on their ability to survive, develop, and
flourish. Strong economic growth and a thorough legal and legislative framework have so far
failed to transfer into better outcomes for children throughout the country.
3. Children and adolescents (those under the age of 18) have the same basic human rights as
adults. Children have unique human rights that acknowledge their unique need for
protection.Provision rights, protection rights, and participation rights are the three categories in
which children's rights are typically classified. The right to an appropriate quality of life, free
education, adequate health resources, and legal and social services are all examples of provision
rights
