Assertiveness contributes to better communication in emotional and professional relationships. These beliefs are adopted since early childhood through the process of socialization. Children who adopt assertive behaviors, better deal with stress, more effectively use their knowledge and abilities. This fosters the development of self-esteem and self-respect in childhood, and later in adolescent and adulthood. Unlike assertive, we define aggressive and passive behavior, which represent two opposite ends on communication continuum. Fear is a common denominator that connects aggressive and submissive people. Assertiveness is a skill that is taught and practiced. Assertive training's around the world are increasingly important because of their multiple benefits. Professional guidance through assertive training can represent an introduction to all important aspects of assertive communication and overcoming fears about social interactions, which contributes to better functioning of adolescents in social interactions and school functioning.","PeriodicalId":31896,"journal":{"name":"Psihijatrija Danas","volume":"50 1","pages":"67-71"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71033431","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hardly anything is known about its effective interventions and there is a lack of specific treatment guidelines. Thus, our aim was to review the risk factors, assessment methods, and chiefly the treatment methods of ARFID to support its clinical management and psychotherapy. Method: The reviewing process was conducted in two steps, with the primary focus on the literature since the introduction of ARFID using the term of ‘avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder’ with dates 2012 -2015. The PRISMA flow algorithm was applied to filter results. Results and discussion: Assessment methods involve structured DSM-V interview, supplemented with BryantWaugh’s diagnostic guideline, and the Children’s Eating Disorder Examination-Questionnaire, or the Eating Disturbances in Youth-Questionnaire. The heterogeneous treatment shall fit the patients’ and families individual needs, and the different presentations ARFID (e.g. sensory-based selective eating, of chocking or vomiting phobia and interactional difficulties). A combination of medical treatment with the primary focus on the weight recovery, nutritional management, and psychotherapeutic interventions are suggested; in children parents should be involved. Behavior therapy with exposure, systematic desensitization, CBT with cognitive restructuring, anxiety management, and family based interventions seemed to be the most useful psychotherapeutic interventions. Conclusions: Studies should start assessing the effectiveness of different treatment approaches based on longitudinal researches to describe strict evidence-based guidelines for each presentations of ARFID.","PeriodicalId":31896,"journal":{"name":"Psihijatrija Danas","volume":"49 1","pages":"5-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71032793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
{"title":"Depression: Comparison of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology","authors":"Sanja Vasiljević","doi":"10.5937/PSIHDAN1701037V","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5937/PSIHDAN1701037V","url":null,"abstract":"Psychoanalysis and analytical psychology are two large schools of psychotherapy, simultaneously similar and different. Few papers in literature explore these two approaches comparatively. This paper presents an effort to fill in that gap by exploring the relation of these two schools towards depression. In both cases we will consider: theoretical approach to depression, suicide, recommendations for practice, and effectiveness research. The crucial difference is in the overarching attitude towards depression: psychoanalysis looks upon depression mainly as pathological, while analytical psychology considers depression as a healthy movement of the organism, with a salutary purpose. The first school is focused on events from the past, and the other is focused on unfulfilled potentials. Psychoanalysis pays attention to early development, and analytical psychology to collective figures of the psyche. Both schools use rapport, transference, countertransference, analysis, verbalization, interpretation. Analytical psychologists lean towards countertransference, unconscious contents, and non-verbal more. Both schools give an important contribution to treatment of depression with their highly personalized approach and open up treatment possibilities in cases where medication is non-applicable. In conclusion, psychoanalysis and analytical psychology have separate and different approaches to depression and suicide, both on central and peripheral themes. Still, there is a possibility of exchange of experiences between these schools, which would be beneficial to development of practice and health of clients. Some examples of such exchange are found, and further exchange between schools of depth psychotherapy is encouraged.","PeriodicalId":31896,"journal":{"name":"Psihijatrija Danas","volume":"49 1","pages":"37-51"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71032946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First aim refers to introducing our professional milieu to the basic concepts and philosophy of palliative care for children and adolescents. Second aim points out to the importance of multidisciplinary and comprehensive care (physical, psycho-social and spiritual) in palliative care in general, and particularly among pediatric patients. Third aim was to critically consider various obstacles and resistance that exists in our environment regarding the organization of palliative care for children and young people, through the prism of various models of palliative care for children and adolescents around the world, particularly in Europe and in the regional countries. Palliative care of children is a special area closely related to the palliative care of adults. It involves the active and comprehensive care of the body, mind and spirit of the child, providing the necessary psycho-social support to the affected child and the family during all the phases of facing the incurable disease, from the diagnosis to the end of the period of grief over the loss of a family member. In a wider sense, palliative care can improve the quality of life allowing the alleviation of symptoms and pain control, adequate psycho-social, psychotherapeutic and spiritual support from the moment of the diagnosis to the end of the patient's life. In addition to that, it also provides psychological support to family members grieving after the loss of a family member. Palliative care of children can be conducted in hospices (special centers organized accordingy to the needs of severely ill children and their families), in regional centers, as well as at children's homes.","PeriodicalId":31896,"journal":{"name":"Psihijatrija Danas","volume":"49 1","pages":"125-135"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"71032870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
