TL;DR: It is seriously misleading to view all of these patterns through the lens of security/insecurity, and heterogeneity in social relationship features necessarily has implications for the assessment measures for social relationships that need to be used.

TL;DR: It is confirmed that single hospital admissions of children for up to a week carry no increased risk of later emotional or behavioural disturbance and the validity of the finding is strengthened by the fact that detailed psychiatric assessments gave rise to much the same findings as did teacher questionnaire scores.

TL;DR: The author reviews the empirical evidence on the psychological sequelae of brain damage in childhood, concluding that brain injury causes a markedly increased risk in both intellectual impairment and psychiatric disorder.

TL;DR: The concept of psychosocial stress is reviewed in relation to empirical findings on the effects of different types of life, events in childhood and adult life and it is concluded that the concept is unhelpfully broad and that the events need to be subdivided according to their characteristics and meaning.

TL;DR: A large scale analysis to identify candidate genes which may contain low-frequency recessive variation contributing to ASD while taking into account the potential contribution of population differences to the genetic heterogeneity of ASD highlights the applicability of HH mapping in complex disorders such as ASD and offers an alternative approach to the analysis of genome-wide association data.
