Schizophrenia in Infancy, Childhood, and Adolescence

June 1971 · Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine

James C M Chan

Schizophrenia in infancy, childhood, and adolescence comprises a group of related and overlapping syndromes characterized by withdrawal, regression, and dissociation. Diagnostic criteria include (1) withdrawal from the environment, (2) disturbance of thought and speech, (3) inappropriate affect, (4) alteration in mobility, (5) disorientation, (6) preoccupation, (7) retardation, (8) disintegration ... [Show full abstract] of body image, (9) resistance to change, and (10) anxiety. About 1.9% of schizophrenic patients are less than 15 years old. The condition probably results from a combination of organic and psychogenic factors. Patients respond poorly to treatment; about one third achieve some social adjustment. There is no correlation between prognosis and therapy used, but apparently the earlier the disorder appears, the worse is the outlook.

On the differential diagnosis of reading, attentional and depressive disorders

January 1994 · Annals of Dyslexia

Jonathan Cohen

Children may present with reading and/or attentional and/or affective (depressive) disorders in childhood. Although reading problems are more readily identifiable, childhood attentional and affective disorders can be difficult to recognize and diagnose. Here are discussed a number of complex and potentially confusing ways in which reading, attentional and affective disorders may be related: a ... [Show full abstract] primary problem in one area may result in problems in another; one disorder may look like another; and/or a child may simultaneously present two or all three primary disorders. Current clinical practice and recent and ongoing research is presented to clarify the changing definitions and potential relationships of these three childhood disorders to aid the process of differential diagnosis.

Epileptic syndromes with onset in early childhood: Myoclonic-astatic epilepsy

January 2004

J. Aicardi

There is considerable confusion regarding myoclonicastatic epilepsy (MAE). The varying definitions and criteria used by different investigators have contributed to this problem. Doose, who described MAE initially1,2 did not set out to describe a limited ‘rigidly defined syndrome’, but rather to draw attention to a group of patients with epilepsies of early onset characterized by myoclonic and ... [Show full abstract] atonic seizures in which no lesional cause could be demonstrated and in which genetic factors appeared to be a major factor. He emphasized the occurrence of fast spike-wave or polyspike-wave complexes and the absence of organic brain damage, in contrast to the slow spikewave complexes and symptomatic nature of the LennoxGastaut syndrome. Doose and colleagues also highlighted the biparietal theta activity on EEG and the importance of genetic factors. Thus, Doose considered MAE to include the primary generalized epilepsies of childhood whose main clinical manifestation were myoclonic and/or astatic seizures. The inclusion of MAE under the heading of ‘cryptogenic and symptomatic epilepsy syndromes’ in the 1989 ILAE classification3 was not consistent with this concept. However, the recent ILAE proposal for a new classification scheme lists MAE as an idiopathic or cryptogenic epilepsy syndrome.4

Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma confused with cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in childhood

December 2010 · Journal of Plastic Reconstructive & Aesthetic Surgery

Squamous cell carcinoma of the skin is very rare in childhood, especially without predisposing factors or underlying diseases. We report the case of a desmoplastic trichoepithelioma misdiagnosed as cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma in a 12 years old boy Only accurate multiple reviews of the histological samples and repeated questioning of the mother could finally clarify the diagnostic dilemma. ... [Show full abstract] Desmoplastic trichoepithelioma is a quite uncommon benign adnexal tumor with a reported incidence, in adults, of 1 in 5000 skin biopsies. It usually affects the face of middle-aged women, but it has been reported at any age. The treatment of desmoplastic thricoepithelioma includes curettage and electrodesiccation or surgical removal. Recurrence or appearance of new lesions is rare. The diagnosis of squamous cell carcinoma in a child without predisposing factors should be accepted with great caution and only after expert histological review.

CONVERSION SYNDROMES*

EDWARD LISS

This article provides an overview of conversion syndromes. The genesis and development of conversion syndromes may be deduced from the case histories. This demands excellent, intelligent and reliable family records. These records are comparatively rare. It likewise calls for thoroughness on the part of the investigator, and no matter how able the investigator, deductive reasoning is always ... [Show full abstract] questioned. The opportunity to observe this phenomenon in the nascent stage through the formative years of infancy and childhood and into pubescence is a unique circumstance. A presentation of this material should help in the broad region in medical problems in which the neurotic component confuses evaluation of physical disturbances. The article also presents case illustration of three childhood patients. In reviewing these children, there are facts of particular note. There is a definite pattern-formation for their infections, a certain rhythm with which these disturbances take place. If not subjected to mechanistic interference, there is a tendency for these infections to diminish in number and to change in character. By the seventh year of age, the physical components tend to assume a secondary role in those youngsters in whom there have developed simultaneously, emotional problems.

Endocrinology and Metabolism

October 1984 · JAMA The Journal of the American Medical Association

Richard L. Landau

For many years, "juvenile-onset" and "maturity-onset" diabetes mellitus were useful descriptive terms with both prognostic and therapeutic implications. Those diabetics in whom the disease begins in childhood or early adult life are generally ketosis prone and insulin requiring. Moreover, the onset of their disorder often appears to be explosive. Diabetes in older adults is gradual in its onset, ... [Show full abstract] often occurring in association with obesity. Many of these latter patients do not require insulin and their condition can be regulated by diet, with or without oral antidiabetic drugs. Some require insulin, but their treatment is usually easier than that of the juveniles, and they are not ketosis prone. Several years ago, diabeticians tried to replace these descriptive terms with "insulin dependent" (for juvenile onset) and "non-insulin dependent" (for maturity onset). More recently, the confusion created by these terms has been handled by the use of "type I" for insulin dependent and

The Poetics of Domestic Space in Proust's In Search of Lost Time

September 2018 · Journal of Modern Literature

Juliette De Soto

Readings of In Search of Lost Time have primarily focused on the function of time rather than space. But the opening section of Swann's Way, the Overture, is one of the most powerful in Proust's corpus. The narrator Marcel's relation to his domestic space is not merely a circumstance of the plot, but the condition of the plot's possibility. The interior space of Marcel's childhood at Combray ... [Show full abstract] creates his most formative memories. His bedroom shapes his fixation with the passage of time and anxious disorientation with his world, while the upstairs-downstairs configuration establishes the structure of obsession with his mother and the mediated desire for her, a pattern he constantly revisits in his later sexual experiences. Proust writes thousands of pages, but they are a reworking of the fundamental themes introduced in the Overture, in which Marcel's interaction with domestic space frames the major concerns of his life.

Melancholy Objects

November 2004 · Mortality

Margaret Gibson

Through psychoanalytical concepts, interview research and biographical text, this paper discusses the importance of objects in the lives of the bereaved. D. W. Winnicott's concept of the transitional object is used to analyse grief work through objects. Like the transitional objects of childhood, the bereaved often mourn through intimate things belonging to the now deceased. It is not just the ... [Show full abstract] experience and process of grief that transitions with and through objects, but objects too transition in terms of their status, value and meaning. Objects once intensely used in grieving are often experienced ambivalently later on. As concrete symbolic material, objects orient in time and space the often disorientating and displacing experiences of grief. This paper makes a temporal and category distinction between objects incorporated in the work of mourning and objects that, with time and distance, become the remembered objects of mourning. Melancholy objects are conceptualized as the memorialized objects of mourning. Yes Yes

This Is Simply What I Do Too: A Response to Paul Smeyers

May 2017

Paul Standish

This essay offers a response to Chap. 16 by Smeyers (2017), entitled: “This is simply what I do.” On the relevance of Wittgenstein’s alleged conservatism and the debate about Cavell’s legacy for children and grown-ups. It answers to Smeyers’ critique of what he identifies as a trend in the reception of Stanley Cavell’s work in the philosophy of education , especially in terms of the bearing this ... [Show full abstract] has on the understanding of Wittgenstein . Through their preoccupation with the themes of practising freedom differently and departure, and through unrealistic characterisations of the relationship between adults and children , Smeyers claims, authors such as Naomi Hodgson, Stefan Ramaekers, Naoko Saito, and Paul Standish have generated confusions that do justice neither to Wittgenstein nor to Cavell . In particular, they have failed to understand the nature and importance of cultural initiation . The present response takes issue with these claims. It agrees with Smeyers about the importance of cultural initiation but—revisiting questions of authority , training , childhood , and community—argues for a reading of Wittgenstein , in part informed by Cavell , that more accurately accounts for the relationships involved. It also indicates ways in which Cavell moves beyond Wittgenstein and thereby revisits the question of what it is to be a grown-up.
