Objectives The aim of this study was to explore the effect of parental attitude on the behavioral problems in children who visited the traditional Korean pediatrics clinic. Methods The subjects were consist of 190 outpatients ($56.6{\pm}12.9$ months) and their mother. The Behavior problems of children were measured with Korean version of Child Behavior Checklist for Ages 1.5-5 (K-CBCL1.5-5) while parental perception of child vulnerability, parent overprotection, parenting stress were measured by Child Vulnerability Scale (CVS), Parent Protection Scale (PPS), Korean-Parenting Stress Index-Short Form scale (K-PSI-SF), respectively. Correlation and multiple regression were conducted for the analysis. Results Significant correlations between child total problems score and child vulnerability (r=.272, p<.001), parent overprotection (r=.243, p=.001), and parenting stress (r=.597, p<.001) were reported. Multiple regression analysis revealed that the parenting stress (${\beta}$=.548, p<.001) was a major predictor for the child behavior problems rather than child vulnerability and parent overprotection. Conclusions It was shown that the parenting stress has a significant influence on the emotional and behavioral development of children. These results can be useful for improving clinical diagnosis and treatment in traditional Korean pediatrics.

Urinary incontinence is the most common urinary symptom in children and causes considerable anxiety in children and parents. In most cases, there is no underlying organic pathology and the longterm prognosis is excellent. Despite these reassuring facts, children with wetting problems can be a challenge for primary pediatrician. This is probably because the problem is poorly understood, there is no readily identifiable medical pathology, and because treatment is usually time consuming and arduous. There is a great demand for treatment because wetting is an unpleasant symptom that can cause a stress and anxiety in the family. There may also be other coexisting problems such as urinary tract infection, constipation, soiling, and behavioral or emotional difficulties. Despite the frequency and vexing nature of voiding dysfunction, physicians may not always obtain a careful history to identify and to treat children properly with this condition. This article addresses the comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to such children.

The consulting internist will encounter patients with psychiatric symptoms and those who take psychotropic medications in many settings. The internist must loam to feel comfortable interacting with patients who display psychiatric symptoms. while maintaining an open and unprejudiced attitude toward their evaluation. The proper delineation of psychiatric disorders from normal emotional reactions resets on a careful history, a mental status evaluation. and a knowledge of psychiatric syndromes. Many physicians tend erroneously to view behavioral changes only in a psychological framework Abrupt changes in behavior, personality, mood. or ability to function should be evaluated for possible organic causes. Then, the internists should take their consultation to psychiatrists and freely discuss psychologic problems of the patients.

연구목적 : 초기 청소년 ADHD 고위험군을 과잉행동-충동성을 동반하지 않는 부주의성 유형(ADHD-I)과 과잉행동-충동성을 동반한 유형(ADHD-HI/C)으로 분류한 후, 이들 간에 기질 및 기질 적합성과 문제행동에서의 차이점을 비교하고자 하였다. 방법 : 서울 모 남자 중학교 1, 2학년생과 그 부모를 대상으로 연구를 실시하였다. ADHD 고위험군을 선정하기 위해 ADHD 행동증상을 평정하는 세 척도 '((1)' 한국어판 ADHD 평가척도, (2) 부모용 단축형 코너스 평가척도, (3) 청소년용 단축형 코너스-웰스 자가평정척도)를 사용하여 2개 척도 이상에서 상위 $20\%$에 해당하는 경우를 고위험군으로 선정하였고, 이 중 ADHD평정척도의 부주의성 차원과 과잉행동/충동성 차원을 활용하여 각각 상위 $20\%$의 조합으로 하위유형을 분류하였다. 최종 연구대상은 ADHD-I 고위험군이 25명, ADHD-HI/C 고위험군이 70명, 정상군이 70명 이었다. 기질 및 기질 적합도를 측정하기 위해 학생들에게는 '개정판 기질차원척도' (DOTS-R)를, 부모에게는 '개정판 기질차원척도 : 맥락' (DOTS-R : Ethnotheory)을 사용하였으며, 문제행동 특성을 평가하기 위해 '한국판 청소년 문제행동 자가평정 척도' (K-YSR)를 이용하였다. 결과 : 기질 면에서는 ADHD-HI/C 고위험군이 다른 집단에 비해 '일반적인 활동수준' (general activity)이 두드러지게 높았다. 부모의 기대 맥락에서는 '일반적인 활동수준'에서 ADHD-HI/C 고위험군이 다른 두 집단에 비해 높아 자녀의 활동성에 대한 기대가 컸으며, '새로운 자극에 대한 융통/경직성' (flexibility/rigidity) 및 '기분' (mood) 면에서 세 집단 간에 차이가 유의미했는데 특히 자녀의 긍정적 기분을 기대하는 수준에서 ADHD-I 고위험군의 부모와 ADHD-HI/C 고위험군의 부모간에 유의한 차이가 있었다. 기질 적합도에서는 '기분'과 관련하여 세 집단 간에 차이가 유의미했는데, 특히 ADHD 고위험군의 두 하위유형은 정상군보다 '기분'과 관련된 적합도과 낮아 정서적인 차원에서 부모-자녀 간 부적합성이 ADHD의 행동증상과 관련되어 있음을 시사하였다. 문제행동 영역에서는 ADHD-HI/C 고위험군이 내면화 및 외현화 문제 모두에서 뚜렷하게 문제행동이 많은 것으로 나타났으며, ADHD 하위유형별로 비교할 때 외현화 문제에서는 ADHD-HI/C 고위험군이 ADHD-I 고위험군에 비해 유의하게 심각했지만 내면화 문제에서는 두 유형 간에 심각도의 차이가 유의하지 않았다. 결론 : 초기 청소년 ADHD 고위험군의 기질 및 기질 적합성 특성이 하위유형에 따라 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났으며, 이는 청소년 ADHD 행동증상 및 하위유형의 발현이 기질 뿐 아니라 환경과의 상호작용과 중요한 관련이 있음을 시사하였다. 또한 청소년 ADHD 행동증상과 하위유형은 기질 특성에서는 활동성 차원이, 기질 적합성 특성에서는 기분 차원이 연관이 있었다. 문제행동 특성에서는 하위유형별로 서로 다른 양상을 보였다.

Objectives: The objective of this study is to examine the association between the children's psychopathology and age, intellectual quotient, and parental psychopathology in children with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Methods: The emotional and behavioral problems of 35 children with PTSD (23 boys, 12 girls, mean age, $10.26{\pm}2.47$ years) were investigated by retrospective chart review. Their parents' anxiety and depression symptoms were also investigated. We examined the correlations between children's psychopathology and their parents' anxiety and depression symptoms, as well as their age and IQ. Results: There were positive correlations between maternal trait anxiety and depression, and children's emotional problems. State and trait anxiety of children with PTSD were positively correlated with age, and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder symptoms were negatively correlated with age. Conclusion: Our results suggest that psychiatric manifestation of children who experienced trauma could differ according to the development stage, and the treatment of children with PTSD should involve parental education about the effect of maternal emotional states on children.

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the pattern of computer game play and emotional and behavioral characteristics of 5th and 6th grade elementary school children in Jeonju city. Methods : Fifth and sixth graders from two elementary schools (N=413, M=214, F=199) were chosen to participate in this study. The participants completed self-report questionnaires designed by the authors, and were also evaluated based on a computer game addiction scale, state-trait anxiety inventory for children, children's depression inventory and Piers-Harris children's self-esteem scale. The parents of the participants determined the disruptive behavior rating scale of the participants. Results : Positive links were reported between the pattern of computer game play (years of computer game experience, average length of each computer game play session, average time spent on computer game play per day, and average frequency of computer game play per week) and scores of computer game addiction scale. In addition, significant correlation was found between the internalized problems of children (trait anxiety, state anxiety, depression, and self-esteem), and computer game addiction scale score, among both sexes (p<0.01). There were significant correlations between game addiction scale score and inattention (p<0.01) as well as total attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) score (p<0.05) in girls. Conclusion : Our findings suggest that computer game addiction is related to symptoms of internalizing, particularly to the trait anxiety. Significant positive correlations between game addiction scale score and externalized behavioral problems were found only in girls.

Inhaled solvents such as toluene are of particular concern due to their abuse potential that is easily exposed to the environment. The inhalation of toluene causes various behavioral problems, but, the effect of short-term exposure of toluene on changes in emotional behaviors over time after exposure and the accompanying pathological characteristics have not been fully identified. Here, we evaluated the behavioral and neurochemical changes observed over time in mice that inhaled toluene. The mice were exposed to toluene for 30 min at a concentration of either 500 or 2,000 ppm. Toluene did not cause social or motor dysfunction in mice. However, increased anxiety-like behavior was detected in the short-term after exposure, and depression-like behavior appeared as delayed effects. The amount of striatal dopamine metabolites was significantly decreased by toluene, which continued to be seen for up to almost two weeks after inhalation. Additionally, an upregulation of serotonin 1A (5-HT_1A) receptor in the hippocampus and the substantia nigra, as well as reduced immunoreactivity of neurogenesis markers in the dentate gyrus, was observed in the mice after two weeks. These results suggest that toluene inhalation, even single exposure, mimics early anxiety-and delayed depression-like emotional disturbances, underpinned by pathological changes in the brain.

Objectives : Demands for comprehensive and intensive treatment programs for treatment of children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who suffer from serious impairment in various psychosocial areas are increasing. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possibility of developing new types of camp programs focused on improving social adjustment of children and helping parents effectively manage their children's problem behaviors. Methods : Fifteen children diagnosed as ADHD according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-IV (mean age 9.5 years) and their parents participated in this program. Eight consecutive camps were held at two-week intervals, from Jun 2007 to Oct 2007 in an adolescent training center located at Chungtaesan, in Korea. Each camp program included social skills training in the classroom and outdoor activities in the forest for children, as well as parent training for mothers. In addition, after the sixth camp, we conducted one parental session for fathers and a three-day booster family camp three months later. Finally, eleven families adhered to the program. Results : All children, parents, and therapists rated questionnaires or checklists at baseline, intra-, and post-treatment. Parenting burden rated using the Parenting Stress Index showed a significant decrease, from 57.89 to 46.22 (p=.019). And, overprotection rated using the Parenting Bonding Instrument showed a significant decrease, from 16.56 to 12.44 (p=.046). However, no significant improvement in children's behavioral and emotional problems was observed. Conclusion : In this study, the consecutive ADHD family camp program was effective for empowerment of parental competency, but not for general improvement of children's behavioral and emotional symptoms.
