This study carried out an umbrella review of meta-analyses on the efficacy of treatment/indicated prevention of child CP (mean age range up to 12 years). Following a registered protocol, several databases (i.e., Web of Science, PsycINFO, PROSPERO, and The Cochrane Library) were searched for meta-analyses published from January 2002 to March 2022. Nine meta-analytic publications met the required criteria, and the main characteristics and findings of the studies were systematically described. Weighted effect sizes (ESs) were calculated through RStudio program. Analyses of heterogeneity, publication bias, quality (AMSTAR-2), and credibility were also conducted. Results indicate that parent training has been the most studied intervention, with a weighted ES of d = -0.49 (95% CI -.67 to -.32). The reviewed studies identified several moderators for the efficacy of parent training, including individual (severity of CP), family (financial disadvantage), and intervention (delivery format) characteristics. Results from child-centered play therapy were also analyzed, d = -.34 (95% CI -.40 to -.28), but the reduced number of meta-analyses and the weakness detected by quality assessment suggest the need of cautiously considering the pooled effects. In general, evidence seems to be suggestive of the efficacy of treatment of CP, particularly for parent training. Nevertheless, efficacy seems to be moderate, heterogeneity indexes are high, and quality assessments of meta-analyses are often suboptimal. This study suggests several avenues to strengthen knowledge in this field","PeriodicalId":43399,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Psicologia Clinica con Ninos y Adolescentes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68343231","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}

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the ECHOMANTRA program, applied together with the usual treatment, in a 15-yearold adolescent girl with anorexia nervosa (AN) and her mother. A single case design and pre-post measures were used, as well as follow-up at 3 and 6 months. The patient was assessed for: eating pathology (EDE-Q), emotional state (DASS-21), psychosocial adjustment (EQ-5D-5L and CIA 3.0) and motivation to change. In the mother: expressed emotion (FQ), symptom impact (EDSIS), accommodation to illness (EAISA), emotional state (DASS-21) and her caregiver skills (CSS) were assessed. Both programs consisted of 8 on-line sessions, which were conducted individually and on a weekly basis. The results showed a reduction in AN symptomatology, increased BMI, improved emotional state, motivation to change and psychosocial adjustment; and in the mother, improved emotional state and caregiving skills, and reduced accommodation to illness, expressed emotion and the impact of symptoms. These changes were maintained at follow-up. Both patient and family valued the program as satisfactory. Both the acceptability and efficiency of treatment for AN may be improved by using ECHOMANATRA to prepare for transition from inpatient care, by giving support to both patients and their carers.","PeriodicalId":43399,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Psicologia Clinica con Ninos y Adolescentes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68343738","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}

This paper analysed whether there are differences in the level of empathy depending on the participants in bullying (victims and bullies). In addition, we studied whether there are differences in empathy according to the gender of the person towards whom the empathic action is directed and who is exercising it. The sample consisted of 180 children, 50% girls and 50% boys between 10 and 12 years of age, with a mean of 11.23 years and a standard deviation of .914, recruited from five schools in the province of Alicante (Petrel, Ibi and Alicante), Spain. The children responded to the Index of Empathy for Children and Adolescents (IECA) questionnaire to assess empathy and to the Bull-S test to assess possible aggressor and victim profiles in the classroom. Bullies and victims scored lower on empathy than the overall sample mean, although there was no difference in empathy between bullies and victims. Girls scored higher on empathy than boys. Girls were more empathetic towards girls than boys. It is concluded that emotional competences may be affected in people involved in bullying situations. Therefore, priority should be given to prevention programmes based on improving emotional competences in order to prevent the problem of bullying before it occurs.

Research on Pica and Rumination Disorders has focused on children, people with disabilities, and pregnant women. This has important implications because it is unknown whether these occur at other stages of development and in other populations. These conditions leads to important health problems and can even lead to death, so it is essential to have valid and reliable screening instruments. Therefore, the objective of this study was to develop an instrument to detect the symptoms and behaviors of Pica and Rumination disorders, as well as to determine their psychometric properties in Mexican adolescents and young adults. The items were prepared from the review of the literature and were subsequently submitted for review by seven experts in the area, obtaining Aiken’s V coefficients that indicate a high agreement between judges regarding the content of the instrument. Likewise, the reliability of the scale was verified from the calculation of the alpha and omega coefficients, where the following indices were obtained: 0.85 and 0.93. Subsequently, an Exploratory and Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out, where a structure of four factors was achieved that explains 48.35% of the variance, in addition to the following indices that corroborate an adequate fit CMIN = 2.41, GFI = 0.92; AGFI = 0.89; CFI = 0.93; RMR =.063 and RMSEA = 0.064.

There is clear evidence of the efficacy of Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in the treatment of depression in children and adolescents; however, recent reviews and meta-analyses provide new perspectives for treatment. The purpose of this work is to synthesize the bibliography available through a systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analysis that summarizes in a comprehensive way the evidence of the last two decades on the effectiveness of psychological interventions for infant-juvenile depression. A systematic review of systematic reviews and meta-analyses was performed. A search was conducted in the Web of Science and Scopus databases. Eight records met the inclusion criteria, 2 were analysed in their entirety and from the remaining 6 the information needed for independent analysis was extracted. Seven different psychotherapies were studied: CBT and IPT were the most studied (n=7; 87.5%), followed by family therapy (n=5; 62.5%), psychodynamic therapy (n=3; 37.5%), behavioural therapy (n=3; 37.5%), computerised CBT (n=2; 25%), problem-solving therapy (n=1; 12.5%) and supportive therapy (n=1; 12.5%). IPT and CBT were shown to be effective in the treatment of adolescent depression. Half of the reviews (n=4; 50%) had a low methodological quality and the other half (n=4; 50%) were classified as critically low. In general, psychological interventions for child and adolescent depression produce significant, but modest effects. Specifically, IPT and CBT can be considered the main treatment alternatives for adolescent depression. There is insufficient data of specific psychological treatment for children diagnosed with a depressive disorder. It is suggested that research should be increased to improve the methodological quality and increase the number of studies aimed at the children population.","PeriodicalId":43399,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Psicologia Clinica con Ninos y Adolescentes","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68344121","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}

Longitudinal findings showed that the association between early EF and late ToM, including false belief comprehension, is stronger than the inverse association and tends to consolidate with age, indicating an EF→ToM, but not ToM→EF directionality, and is not better explained by the effect of executive demands posed in ToM tasks.
