The major effort by the physician should be to provide the proper setting, and to be an interested, understanding listener. An opportunity to talk to someone who will listen in a caring way may be all that the usually uncommunicative adolescent needs. The primary care physician can obtain the knowledge, arrange for the necessary time, and develop the caring, sensitive attitude to talk with and counsel patients about many subjects, including sensitive ones. Sometimes, however, regardless of how hard one tries, the teenage adolescent patient will be reluctant to discuss his or her concerns. This should not be considered a failure, and the physician should not become discouraged. One should recognize the difficulty the adolescent is having and offer to be available in the near future when the adolescent patient may be ready to express his or her concerns.</p>","PeriodicalId":77899,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in adolescent medicine","volume":"3 2","pages":"93-7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14749313","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}

Specific concepts about the cause and treatment of a variety of symptoms may cause some Mexican-American families to seek help from parallel systems of health care (i.e., the curandera and the physician). By understanding the family's beliefs about the problem, the physician can incorporate both systems to enhance a positive outcome. The physician needs to be aware of the extent to which the family both suffers with the ill adolescent patient and contributes to the acquisition of the patient's health. Differences in the extent of acculturation between adolescents and their parents may intensify the common parent-adolescent conflicts seen as a developmental phenomenon. As with any adolescent patient, a thorough history will help to assess the problem and will provide clues as to the best methods for intervention.</p>","PeriodicalId":77899,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in adolescent medicine","volume":"3 2","pages":"99-108"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14749314","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":"Adolescent sexual abuse: clinical discussion of a community treatment response.","authors":"M E Abrams","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Adolescent sexual abuse is an overwhelming issue for society and the medical community. Adolescent medicine has only begun to emerge in the mainstream of medical practice. Sexual medicine, adolescent chemical dependency, and abusive medicine are emerging subspecialties of mainstream medicine, with victimization syndromes just beginning to be explored. Adolescent sexual abuse, sexual addiction disorders, family incest, eating disorders, depression, and suicide in adolescents all need to be viewed from epidemiologically regarding family and community orientation. I refer to physician and troubled adolescent relations as the quadruple passivity syndrome. The ego-centered, troubled adolescent denies he or she has problems but no desire for treatment; the physician denies that the adolescent has health problems and has no desire to evaluate them. Physicians need to take an aggressive role in identifying, treating, and preventing the victimization process in children, adolescents, adults, spouses, families, and geriatric patients. Physicians need to be trained to identify these patients and to develop treatment protocols. The victimization syndrome needs more research, publication, and surveillance by all medical associations, but primarily by family physicians and pediatricians. In conclusion this clinical discussion describes four main points: Sexually abused adolescents can be successfully treated by a multidisciplinary advocacy team. A community multidisciplinary team can work in a unified approach for the good of the community by putting an end to future generations of victimized adolescents and families. The medical community has the greatest challenge in training, educating, and becoming more aware about adolescent sexual abuse. The community must provide support for victims of sexual abuse.</p>","PeriodicalId":77899,"journal":{"name":"Seminars in adolescent medicine","volume":"3 1","pages":"67-78"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14723485","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}
