The authors reviewed the child and adolescent's traumatic experiences expressed in movies through late 1950s to year 2002. The movies are roughly classified by 3 categories based on the methods that used to express protagonist's experience and to uncover the meaning that is implied, that is, an important motive of growth, a metaphor of socio-political issues, or merely an event to develop a drama. Movie is a product of repetition compulsion and an activity like symbolic play between creator and spectators through screen, which enables a kind of corrective emotional experience. The curative elements in movies were also reviewed. The authors suggest the importance of mutual communications between movie creators and psychiatrists because media images about psychiatric issues can make internal stereotypes in conscious and unconscious mind of spectators.

Disaster psychiatry is a new emerging area of psychiatry, in which psychiatrists help to minimize psychological impact of a disaster and to reduce secondary morbidities. In our society, more children and adolescents are facing disasters nowadays. Thus, the necessity for the disaster psychiatry is increasing. After a trauma, children express various symptoms in relevance to their age, development, and their environmental support. The recovery from the disaster and its long-term effect are also influenced by those factors. Psychiatric intervention in a disaster consists mainly of crises intervention and supportive psychotherapy, which includes counseling the victims, educating and providing information to the public, providing support and consultation to the community, and referring of at-risk or severely impaired individuals for more intensive clinical evaluation and care. In addition to a summarized concept of disaster psychiatry, this article presents the adverse psychological effects of children and adolescents exposed to disaster and issues related to the psychiatric intervention.

연구배경: 데이트 폭력은 청소년을 포함한 젊은 인구집단의 신체적, 정신적 건강을 위협하는 중요한 공중보건 문제이다. 친밀한 남녀관계에서 시작되는 데이트 폭력의 위협에 노출되는 시기가 바로 청소년들이 생애주기 상 가장 급격히 발달하면서 많은 변화를 겪는 시기라는 것이 더 민감한 관심을 끈다. 그러나 이 문제 또는 이 문제를 해결하기 위한 노력들의 정도와 심각성을 이해하기 위한 구조적인 노력은 그다지 많이 이루어지지 않았다. 연구목적: 본 연구의 목적은 미국 청소년과 성인 초기 연령집단의 데이트 폭력 예방, 측정 도구, 위험 요인, 이환정도에 대해 지금까지의 관련 연구자료 고찰하여 일반적인 경향을 소개하는데 있다. 연구방법: 1990년부터 2007년까지 발표된 청소년과 성인 초기 인구의 데이트 폭력에 관한 60개의 논문을 검색하여 고찰하였다. 사회과학과 보건과학 관련 연구논문의 검색모듈을 활용하였는데 PsycInfo, Pubmed, 그리고 CINAHL였다. 연구결과: 데이트 폭력의 위험요인은 크게 개인적 요인, 심인적 요인, 가족 요인, 학교 및 친구 집단 요인으로 나뉘어진다. 개인적 요인으로는 자아존중감, 성, 인종, 약물사용, 성상대자 수, 과거 폭력경험이 유의미한 것으로 나타났다. 이 밖의 다른 개인적 요인, 즉 심인적 요인으로는 자기효능감, 식습관, 반사회적 행동 등이 있었다. 가족 요인으로는 가족 구조, 부모 성향이 유의미한 특성들이었으며 이 밖에 학교, 친구, 지역사회의 환경적 요인이 관련 있는 것으로 보고되었다.

This study aims to examine developmental trajectories and predictor variables of problem behaviors and school adjustment trajectories among children from low-income families using latent growth modeling. The data was collected from the 2nd year to the 4th year (2012-2014) of a community child center child panel survey conducted by the National Youth Policy Institute. The major findings are as follows. First, as the grade went up, the problem behaviors of children from low-income families increased while school adjustment decreased. Second, multi-level domains, such as individual, school, and family variables influenced school adjustment trajectory, while only individual variables, such as depression, isolation, and motivation for achievement influenced problem behavior trajectory. Third, common protective factors between problem behaviors and school adjustment trajectories were motivation for achievement in and satisfaction of the community child center. Common risk factors between problem behaviors and school adjustment trajectories were isolation and aggression. Based on the results, the implications for child welfare practices were discussed.

The purpose of the study is to review the research trends of human development and family studies which published in the Journal of the Korean Home Economics Education for last 20 years. A total of 93 studies were analyzed in the area of nature and philosophy of Home Economic Education, curriculum, teaching-learning method and human development and family studies. Research topics mainly examined in the area of curriculum development, application of teaching methods, psychological and school adjustment of the adolescent and family relations. Reviews in methodological issues result in the heavy usage of survey method with self-administered questionnaires, convenient sampling and descriptive studies. Although research on human development and family studies in Home Economic Education has increased in quantity, there are greater needs to develop studios with representative subjects, various research methods, teaching - learning methods, and teaching materials to capture the rich complexity of individual development and family life. Limitations on previous studios and implications for future studies were also discussed.

Objectives : The aim of this study was to examine the developmental and clinical characteristics associated with nocturnal enuresis in Korean children. Methods : Three hundred eighteen children with nocturnal enuresis, together with their parents, completed a parent questionnaire consisting of a Child Behavior Checklist(CBCL). Data related to the prenatal, perinatal and developmental history, past and current medical history were collected. Ninety-three normal students were selected as the control group. Results : The nocturnal enuresis group attained diurnal and nocturnal urinary control significantly later than those in the normal control group.49.2% of the children with nocturnal enuresis had the family history of nocturnal enuresis. Daytime incontinence was present in 41.3% of the nocturnal enuresis group. The percentages of sleep-related disturbances were significantly higher in the nocturnal enuresis group when compared to the normal control group.42.6% of the children with nocturnal enuresis experienced pharmacotherapy, and 0.4% experienced enuresis alarms. Conclusion : The results of this study suggest that children with nocturnal enuresis in Korea have a high genetic load and a possibility of developmental delay, which supports the neurodevelopmental point of view with regard to the etiology of nocturnal enuresis. The physicians in Korea prefer pharmacological interventions to alarm interventions in treating Korean children with nocturnal enuresis.

Childhood psychic trauma appears to be a crucial factor in the development of serious disorders both in childhood and in adulthood. Traumatized children show strong tendency to revisualize or re-feel a traumatic events. Play and behavioral reenactments are frequent manifestations of both the single blow and the long-standing traumas in childhood. Those children who suffer the results of single, intense terror appear to exhibit detailed memory, retrospective reworkings and misperceptions. In long-standing or repetitive trauma, children would show psychic numbing, self-hypnosis, dissociation and rage. Child's brain is undergoing critical and sensitive periods of differentiation. During this time, developing central nervous system is exquisitely sensitive to stress. Stressor-activated neurotransmitters and hormones can play major roles in neurogenesis, migration, synaptogenesis, and neurochemical differentiation. Internal opiate system operates in some trauma and causes the victim to fail to respond, to avoid, to shut off feelings. Evidence is also accumulating in traumatology that dysfuntion of locus coeruleus and ventral tegmental neucleus system leads to catecholamine receptors hypersensitivity. This change result in hypervigilance, increased startle, affective lability, and increased autonomic nervous system hyperreactivity. Another site of action of trauma on the brain is hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis. Individuals with PTSD do not have enough cortisol to halt the alarm reaction. When children are exposed to long-standing extreme events, massive attempts to protect the psyche and to preserve the self are put into gear. These developmental traumas mobilize various kinds of defense mechanisms. Massive denial, dissociation, self anesthesia, identification with aggressor and aggression turned against the self often lead to profound character changes in the youngsters.
