Most patients with Tourette's disorder experience an uncomfortable sensory phenomenon called the premonitory urge immediately before experiencing tics. It has been suggested that premonitory urges are associated with comorbidities such as obsessive compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, although these associations have been inconsistent. Most patients experience tics as a result of the premonitory urges, and after the tics occur, most patients report that the premonitory urges are temporarily relieved. As a consequence, several studies have assessed the premonitory urge and its potential therapeutic utility. Based on the concept that the premonitory urge induces tics, behavioral treatments such as Exposure and Response Prevention and Habit Reversal Therapy have been developed. However, it is still unclear whether habituation, the main mechanism of these therapies, is directly related to their effectiveness. Moreover, the observed effects of pharmacological treatments on premonitory urges have been inconsistent.

Circadian rhythm is a periodic and continuous change in physiological, behavioral, and mental characteristics that occurs in most organisms on the Earth, because the Earth rotates in a 24-hour cycle. The circadian system regulates daily rhythms of physiology and behavior, such as the sleep/wake cycle, body temperature, hormonal secretion, and mood. The influence of circadian rhythm is very powerful, but limited research has addressed its effects. However, many recent studies have shown that circadian dysregulation may play an important role in the pathogenesis of bipolar disorder. This review study examined current and noteworthy studies, including the authors' own works, and proposes a possible clinical application of bipolar disorder based on evidence that circadian rhythm dysregulation in bipolar disorder may be a key pathogenetic mechanism.

품행장애의 아형분류는 사회화및 공격성여부, 발병의 시기등을 기준으로 이루어져왔다. ICD- 10 에서는 이러한 구분이외에 품행문제를 보이는 상황에 따라 가정에 국한된 품행장애라는 아형을 두고 있다. 저자들은 부모 및 형제에 대한 공격적인 행동 및 분노발작, 가정내의 기물파손등의 행동문제를 보이나 가정 이외의 장소에서는 뚜렷한 행동문제를 나타내지 않는 아동의 증례를 경험하였다. 자세한 병력청취 및 입원후 의 관찰 및 치료를 통해 환아의 부모에 의한 만성적인 방임 및 학대, 일관성 없는 양육태도등으로 인한 애착 형성의 문제가 환아의 행동문제 및 감정적인 어려움에 크게 기여함을 알 수 있었다. 이에 학대및 애착형성의 장애등의 부모-자녀관계의 병리가 품행장애와 어떤 상관관계를 갖는가를 알아보았고 치료적 제안에 대해 고찰하였다.

목적 : 본 연구의 목적은 정신장애 영유아의 K-CBCL 1.5-5(Korean-Child Behavior Checklist 1.5-5) DP(Dysregulation Profile)의 요인구조를 확인하고, 정신장애 진단 집단 간 차이를 검증하였다. 연구방법 : 서울 소재의 종합병원 소아정신과, 발달장애 클리닉 등에서 2010년에서 2015년까지 수집된 자료를 활용하였다. DSM-IV에 근거하여 정신장애로 진단된 영유아 265명의 어머니에게 실시된 K-CBCL 1.5-5 자료를 최종분석에 사용하였다. 결과 : 정신장애 영유아의 K-CBCL 1.5-5 DP의 요인구조는 이중요인 모형(Bifactor)이 상대적으로 가장 적합하였다(χ² = 893.722, TLI = .782, CFI = .822, RMSEA = .064). 또한 의사소통장애, 전반적 발달장애, 정서장애, 발달지체 등 영유아의 정신장애 진단 집단 간 차이가 유의하였다(F(3, 259) = 9.780, p < .001). 그 중 전반적 발달장애 집단과 정서장애 집단이 의사소통장애 집단보다 높은 조절곤란을 보이는 것으로 확인되었다. 결론 : 본 연구에서는 정신장애 영유아의 조절곤란 문제의 존재를 확인하였다. 이중요인 모형을 통해 K-CBCL 1.5-5 DP가 불안/우울, 공격행동, 주의집중문제의 특정요인과 특정요인 이상의 일반요인으로 구성된다는 것을 확인하였고, K-CBCL 1.5-5 DP의 다차원성을 규명하였다. 또한 정신장애 집단 간 유의한 차이가 있었고 조절곤란 문제는 영유아기부터 전반적 발달장애와 정서장애의 증상 발현과 심화에 기여하는 것으로 사료된다.

목 적：행동장애의 생물학적인 원인을 규명하고 연령 및 정신병리와의 상호관계를 이해하기 위하여 혈장내의 5-HT와 5-HIAA 농도를 측정하여 대조군과 비교하고, 정신병리, 연령간의 상호관계를 연구하였다. 방 법：1999년 3월부터 2002년 3월 사이 서울대학교병원 소아 ${\cdot}$ 청소년정신과를 방문한 환아중 행동장애라고 판단되는 소아 또는 청소년 환자 41명을 대상으로 하였다. 공격적인 행동, 규칙위반, 반항행동의 평가에는 DSM-IV 진단기준에 입각한 부모평가척도를 사용하였으며, 혈장내의 5-HT 및 5-HIAA 농도의 측정에는 HPLC를 사용하였다. 결 과：1) 소아형 ${\cdot}$ 행동장애, 청소년형 ${\cdot}$ 행동장애, 그리고 대조군간에 혈장내의 5-HT 및 5-HIAA농도간의 의미 있는 차이는 관찰되지 않았다(5-HT, F=2.37, df 2, 61, p>0.05). 2) 혈장내의 5-HT와 5-HIAA의 농도와 공격성(aggression) 및 규칙위반(rule violation)간에는 의미 있는 상관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 3) 혈장내의 5-HT농도와 반항행동(oppositional behavior)간에는 의미 있는 상관성이 관찰되었다.(소아형, Pearson 상관계수 0.43, p<0.05, 청소년형, Pearson 상관계수 0.48, p<0.05). 4) 행동장애군에서(소아형, 청소년형 모두 포함) 연령과 5-HT 및 5-HIAA농도간의 의미 있는 상관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 대조군에서도 역시 의미 있는 상관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 결 론：이러한 소견은 행동장애의 생물학적 원인 중의 하나로 serotonin계의 기능장애라는 가설은 지지하지 못하는 소견이다. 공격성 또는 규칙위반보다는 반항행동이 더 밀접한 관계가 있다. 개체발생적인 과정에 있어서도 행동장애군에서 상관성은 관찰되지 않았다. 향후의 연구에서는 반항장애와 serotonin 계와의 상관성이 연구되어야 한다.

연구목적：본 연구는 일과성 틱 장애(Transient tic disorder：TTD), 만성 틱 장애(chronic tic disoder：CTD), 뚜렛 장애(Tourette's disorder：TD) 아동의 임상 양상을 비교하고, 틱 장애의 질환 심각도와 연관된 변인을 알아보기 위해 시행되었다. 방 법：DSM-Ⅳ 진단분류에 따라 틱 장애로 진단된 69명의 아동과 대조군 43명을 대상으로 인구학적 변인 및 틱과 관련된 임상적 변인을 조사하였다. 틱 증상의 심각도를 알아보기 위해 예일 틱 증상 평가 척도(Yale Global Tic Severity Scale)을 시행하였으며 연구 대상 모두에게 동반된 정서/행동 문제를 평가하기 위해 아동 행동조사표(Child Behavior Checklist)를 시행하였다. 결 과：TTD군은 CTD 및 TD군과 비교할 때 틱 증상의 지속 기간이 짧을 뿐 아니라 틱 증상의 심각도와 장해 정도도 미약하였다. TTD군의 동반된 정서/행동 문제 역시 CTD, TD군에 비해 유의하게 적었으며 공격성 소척도 점수를 제외하고는 정상대조군과 차이가 없었다. CTD군과 TD군간에는 틱 증상의 종류, 개수와 CBCL의 사회성 문제 소척도 점수외에는 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 나타내는 변인이 없었다. 틱 증상으로 인한 장해 정도를 가장 잘 예측해 주는 변인은 운동틱의 강도와 방해도, 틱 증상의 지속기간이었으며, CBCL 총 문제행동 점수와 가장 높은 연관성이 있는 변인은 주의력결핍/과잉운동장애(Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder：ADHD)의 존재여부였다. 결 론：본 연구의 결과는 틱 증상의 심각도 외에 증상의 지속 기간이 틱 장애 아동들의 틱으로 인한 장해도에 큰 영향을 미치며, 동반된 ADHD의 존재가 이들의 임상상을 결정하는 데 있어 중요한 역할을 한다는 점을 시사한다. 또한 위와 같은 임상 변인들이 틱 장애의 진단적 분류보다도 틱 장애 아동의 질환 심각도를 판단하고 치료방침을 결정하는데 있어 더욱 중요함을 시사한다.

Objectives : This study explored the differences in their ego defense mechanisms between adolescents with conduct disorder and normal adolescents. Methods : Subjects were 35 adolescents with conduct disorder and 44 normal adolescents. The Ewha Defense Mechanism Test (EDMT), consisting of 200 items and 20 scales, was administered, to examine the defense mechanisms of both groups of adolescents. Results : Normal adolescents presented statistically significantly higher scores on the reaction formation, controlling, suppression, anticipation, dissociation, and distortion scales than did adolescents with conduct disorder. Zn addition, adolescents with conduct disorder used neurotic defense mechanisms of both neurotic and mature levels less frequently than normal adolescents did. Factor analysis revealed that, normal adolescents had higher scores on ego-expansive factor scales and behavior control factor scales thanadolescents with conduct disorder did. Conclusion : The results suggest adolescents with conduct disorder use mature and ego-expansive defense mechanisms less frequently than do normal adolescents.

Objectives : To survey college students with an Alcohol Use Disorder, and analyze the reasons for their disorder. Methods : The cross-sectional study was conducted at 60 four-year colleges within Seoul and 9 other provinces. The schools and students selected for the study provide a nationally representative sample, and the survey was conducted between May 15th and June 14th 2003. 2,385 cases were analyzed using questionnaires, which included a series of questions about students' alcohol use and associated problems, as well as an Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test. Results : 42.3% of students were found to have an Alcohol Use Disorder. The probability of a student having an Alcohol Use Disorder was 1.30 times higher among male compared to female students. Those students not living with their parents or relatives were 1.40 times more likely to have an Alcohol Use Disorder. Those students where the father had a drinking problem and those who admitted that their parents drank heavily while they were growing up were 1.38 and 1.54 times more likely, respectively, to have an Alcohol Use Disorder. Those students attending a general university, joining a student club, attaining less than a B average credit score and those unsatisfied with their education were 1.60, 1.36, 1.41 and 1.27 times more likely, respectively, to have an Alcohol Use Disorder. Those students who had experience of drugs, smoking, binge drinking when they were in the last year of high school and the forceful consumption of mixed alcohol were 3.67, 1.95, 2.15 and 1.76 times more likely, respectively, to have an Alcohol Use Disorder. Conclusions : College students' with an Alcohol Use Disorder is a very severe and large problem within colleges. An Alcohol Use Disorder is determined by individual and family variables, the college environmental and life variables, as well as behavior variables.

Objective : Disaster causes psychological distress to a large number of people in a short period of time, by both direct and indirect exposure to traumatic events embedded in various realms of disaster experience. Optimal, well-planned treatment interventions should follow from the early acute period to recovery phase, extending up to several months later. In this context, there is an increasing need for systemic review to gain comprehensive insights for disaster interventions. These need to be added to public policy, and for the prevention and treatment of disaster-related psychopathology. Here, we review the published studies on psychological interventions for disaster-related posttraumatic stress disorder. Methods : Specific psychological interventions regarded as effective treatments for have been selected for this review, such as CBT (Cognitive-Behavior Therapy), Exposure Therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing), SIT (Stress Inoculation Therapy) and Psychoeducation. In addition, natural disasters, industrial disasters, and accidents involving aircraft and ships were also categorized as disasters, along with war and combat trauma. Results : Cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy had the strongest research support for effectiveness, and could be considered as the first-choice treatment for disaster-related PTSD. The second line of treatment is EMDR, although this treatment modality has the advantage of reaching certain treatment improvements in fewer sessions. However, the effects of SIT and psychoeducation to the survivors of disasters, remains unclear at this point. Additionally, we propose the possibilities of using virtual reality component and imagery rescripting as modified forms of traditional cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy. Conclusion : Cognitive behavior therapy and exposure therapy, deemed effective treatments for various trauma, are considered to be effective for survivors from disasters. However, the efficacy of other interventions has not yet been examined methodologically in well-designed studies, such as randomized controlled trials. In particular, future empirical studies are needed, since it is difficult to conclude that psychological interventions have similar effects on different types of disasters.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to systematically review the studies on the effects of social story intervention on the individuals with autism spectrum disorders(ASD) to provide the basis for evidence-based practice. Methods : In order to find out the studies on the effect of social story intervention on individuals with ASD, studies published from 2011 to December 2020 were searched on Google Academic Search. The keywords used were "autism spectrum disorder AND social story". A total of 16,900 studies were searched, and from these, 12 studies were selected based on the application of the selection and exclusion criteria. The included studies comprised of 10 single subject design studies and 2 randomized controlled trials design studies. The included studies were analyzed in accordance to population, intervention, outcome measures and results. Results : As a result of analysing the subjects of the included studies, we found out that pre-school children and adolescents were the most common groups of individuals diagnozsed with ASD. In addition to ASD, the diagnosis of the subjects included intellectual disability, Asperger, and Prader-willi. We found out that there were more interventions that were mixed with other interventions, than just the pure social story interventions. In particular, video modeling was found to be the most frequent intervention. This was followed by photo-based social stories. For outcome measure, autism social skills profile was found to be the most often used standardized assessment. For a non-standardized assessment, social desired behavior was found to be the most frequently evaluated behavior, followed by personal problem behavior. Of all the dependent variables, the dependent variable reported as "effective" was the most, followed by "some effective". Conclusion : This study is organized to help the individuals with ASD, families, researchers, and therapists understand the effects of social story intervention on the individuals with ASD in an easy fashion. Further, therapists can use this study as the basic data for evidence-based practice.
