An adolescent group within a milieu setting

Abstract: A group in a milieu setting is most effective when it uses the shared reality of the milieu in the group. This makes the issues come alive in the group and allows for the learning in the therapy to become applied in the larger environment of the milieu. A clinical example is presented to illustrate the effectiveness of bringing the “world” of the milieu in the group.

Rare variability in adrenoleukodystrophy: a case report.

Abstract: X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy is a genetic disorder with diverse clinical phenotypes. Of these phenotypes, the cerebral form usually manifests during early childhood with rapid cognitive and neurological deterioration and is accompanied by extensive white matter involvement. Adrenomyeloneuropathy, however, usually affects young adults and has focal symptoms typical of spinal cord and peripheral nerve involvement. A 35-year-old African American man with a history of alcohol abuse presented with personality changes and lower extremity weakness. Diffuse demyelination was found on the brain image, and a diagnosis of the cerebral form was made based on the clinical features and genetic test. We report a rare case of adult-onset cerebral X-linked leukodystrophy with a clinical phenotype of adrenomyeloneuropathy, and the diagnosis was confounded by a history of alcohol abuse.
