Objectives : Understanding the emotions, thoughts, feelings and behaviors of others, as well as oneself, is part of the mentalizing function. We developed a new school-based community model for mental health, called the Mentalization Improvement Program for Adolescent-Community Model (MIPAdo-CM), based on the concept of mentalization. Methods : The MIPAdo-CM was composed of 12 sessions and was applied to 403 students in the 2nd grade of a middle school. Every session was conducted after the regular school hours for 6 weeks. After 6 weeks, we compared the endpoint changes of Adolescent Mental Problem Questionnaire-Revised (AMPQ-R), Emotional Empathy Test (EET), Peer Aggression Scale (PAS), Peer Bullying Scale (PBS), School Adjustment Scale (SAS), Test Anxiety Inventory (TAI) and Visual Analogue Scale between the subject and the control group. Results : There was no significant difference between two groups in AMPQ-R, EET, PAS, PBS, SAS, and TAI. On the Visual Analoge Scale, however, students in the trial classes reported more increase in understanding and respect for both others and themselves. Conclusion : The efficacy of MIPAdo-CM was subjective improvement of understanding and respect for both others and themselves, erence between two groups in AMPQ-R, Empathy test, To prove objective usefulness of this program, further studies with more structured design will be needed.

Objectives: This study investigates lay beliefs about the etiology and treatments of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome, as well as identifying sociodemographic and personality variables affecting these beliefs among South Koreans. Methods: In total, 673 participants (mean age $41.77{\pm}12.03$ years) completed an online survey regarding their beliefs about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. The factors related to their lay beliefs about the disorders were analyzed, and the correlates were investigated. Results: Results indicated that lay people in South Korea held strong beliefs that the causes of tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome lie within the parenting/psychological and neurological/biological categories, compared to the dietary/environmental one. Among the sociodemographic variables, sex, age, and levels of subjective mental health knowledge were primarily associated with the aforementioned beliefs. Familiarity with tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome was also associated with these beliefs. Among the personality traits investigated, extraversion and conscientiousness had significant influences on the beliefs people had about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome. Conclusion: The results suggest that both policy makers and mental health service providers should adopt a strategic approach for developing and implementing health education interventions about tic disorder and Tourette's syndrome because individual sociodemographic variables, familiarity with the disorders, and personality traits are all associated with the beliefs about these disorders.

Objectives: Our study aimed to analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of children and adolescents during their first visit to psychiatric outpatient departments for the management of suicidal ideation and behavior, and to compare the changes before and in 2012 or later. Methods: This multicenter study was conducted at five university hospitals in a metropolitan area in South Korea. Medical records of patients aged 6-18 years were retrospectively reviewed from January 2009 to December 2016. Patients were analyzed by classifying them into suicidal and non-suicidal groups based on their visit to the hospital for management of suicidal ideation or suicide attempt and other mental problems, respectively. Results: There were differences in the year of visit, diagnosis, education level, and referral sources between patients in the suicidal and non-suicidal groups. Multiple regression analysis was conducted based on the sex, education level, referral by school, and diagnosis of depression in patients in the suicidal group, which revealed significant association. Conclusion: Suicide-related problems were significantly associated with the sex, education level, referral by school, and a diagnosis of depression in the patients. A well-connected referral system would be necessary for professional mental health management of high-risk children and adolescents.

This study aimed to discuss mental health services for children and adolescents that are being implemented as initiatives of the Korean government and to review the functions and roles of these projects during the COVID-19 pandemic. Three government departments are in charge of providing mental health services for children and adolescents: Ministry of Education, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and Ministry of Health and Welfare. The Ministry of Education has implemented several policies to facilitate the early detection of mental health issues among school students (from preventive interventions to selective interventions for high-risk students). The Ministry of Gender Equality and Family additionally serves out-of-school children and adolescents by facilitating early identification of adolescents in crises and providing temporary protection or emergency assistance (as required) through the Community Youth Safety-Net Project. Furthermore, the Ministry of Health and Welfare operates relevant mental health agencies for individuals of all ages including children and adolescents. Any high-risk students who have been screened through the projects of the Ministry of Education are supported through referrals to the following institutions for appropriate treatment of their symptoms: specialized hospitals, the Youth Counseling and Welfare Center operated by the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, the National Youth Healing Center, the Mental Health Welfare Center operated by the Ministry of Health and Welfare, the Suicide Prevention Center, and the Child Welfare Center. To assist students who are facing any psychological difficulties because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Education has established a psychiatric support group for providing emergency mental health care; furthermore, schools are promoting psychological surveillance (e.g., provision of non-face-to-face counseling services that are centered around the Wee Center). The Ministry of Education, Ministry of Gender Equality and Family, and Ministry of Health and Welfare have provided varied mental health support services in order to address the challenges faced by children and adolescents during the pandemic. Nevertheless, the mental health services operated by each ministry do show some limitations because their service provision system is insufficiently collaborative. The present study discussed the positive effects of each initiative as well as its limitations; furthermore, it suggested improvements for facilitating the healthy development of children and adolescents' mental health.

소아치과학이 목표로 하는 어린이와 청소년의 구강건강을 달성하기 위하여는 민간 치과의료기관에서 내원 환자를 대상으로 하는 진료만으로는 한계가 있으며 공공서비스(公共service)의 역할이 필요하다. 학교구강보건실이 설치된 초등학교는 전체의 7.2%이었고, 초등학교 중에서 불소용액양치사업을 수행한 비율은 57.5%, 급식 후 집단잇솔질을 한 비율은 46.9%이 었으며, 초등학생 중에서 구강보건교육을 받은 비율은 48.0%, 치아홈메우기를 받은 비율은 12.4%이었다(2006년). $0{\sim}6$세 영유아의 약 42%가 지난 1년간 구강검진, 불소도포, 치면세마, 치아홈메우기 중 하나 이상의 예방적 치과진료를 받았으며, 받은 장소는 교육시설이 약 18%, 보건소가 약 1%이었다(2005년). 불소농도가 조정된 수돗물을 마시는 인구 비율은 전국 평균이 5.7%이었다(2006년). 학교구강보건사업의 발전을 위해서 행정의 일원화, 보건교사에 대한 교육, 구강보건교사제도의 도입, 순회 학교치과의사와 학교치과병원을 통한 포괄적 진료서비스의 제공 등을 고려할 수 있을 것이다. 또한 아동.청소년 주치의제의 도입으로 민간기관을 통해 공공서비스를 강화하는 방안이 검토되고 있다.

연구목적：대한소아청소년정신의학회 창립 20주년을 맞아 한국 소아청소년정신의학의 발전 과정(과거)을 돌아보고, 현재의 상황과 문제점을 짚어보고, 앞으로 나아가야할 방향과 주요과제를 살펴 보고자함. 연구방법：학회기록, 관련논문, 원로들과의 개인통신, 저자개인기록과 참여경험을 토대로 함. 결 과：한국소아정신과의 공식출범은 1979년 서울대학교병원외래에 소아정신과클리닉의 개설과, 다음해 동대학병원에 소아정신분과 설립으로 볼 수 있음. 대한소아, 청소년정신의학회는 1983년 한국소아정신의학연구회로 시작하여 1986년 동학회가 공식 창립되었음. 창립후 지난 20년간 학회는 괄목할만한 성장과 발전을 하였는데 그 원동력은 소아청소년정신과 전임의 수련프로그람이 주요대학병원(현재 총 7개)에 생겼고, 1994년부터 한국소아청소년정신의학회지 발간, 1996년 대한소아청소년정신과 수련심사위원회의 발족과 역할수행에서 찾을 수 있음. 현재 한국에 77명의 소아청소년정신의학 분과전문의와 48명의 부가수련중인 전문의, 18명의 전임의가 수련 중에 있음. 현재 한국소아청소년정신과는 국내적으로는 중흥기를 맞이하고 있고 인접전문분야의 발전에도 크게 기여하고 있음, 국제적으로도 아시아소아청소년학회의 창립과 학술활동에 중추적 역할을 하고 있을 뿐 아니라 미국 및 국제 소아청소년정신의학회등 국제무대로 역할을 확대 중임. 결 론：한국소아청소년정신의학은 지난 20년간 성공적인 발전을 해왔고, 의학계와 일반 사회에 크게 기여하고 있음. 그러나 청소년문제에 대한 적극적 개입, 병원 및 정신질환 관련기관에서의 자문, 연결, 학교자문서비스에 좀더 적극적인 참여가 필요함. 우리나라는 지난 30여년간 급격한 정치적, 경제적, 사회문화적 변화를 겪었고, 특히 가족체계의 변화와 붕괴현상은 날로 심각해져, 소아청소년의 정신건강문제는 증가일로에 있는 것이 분명함으로 앞으로 소아청소년정신과 전문의의 역할은 중차대함. 뿐만 아니라, 우리는 아시아지역 국가들의 낙후된 소아청소년정신과서비스 개발과 발전에도 기여하여야할 사명이 있는 것으로 제안함.
