TL;DR: A critical examination of the theory and practice of child psychoanalysis suggests the need to investigate which child analytic techniques may be effective for different types of clinical or developmental disturbances as discussed by the authors, and the central therapeutic feature of child analysis is its capacity to promote children' ability to mentalize.

TL;DR: Evidence for the involvement of similar neural circuitry in obsessive-compulsive disorder and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder may account for the prevalence of these illnesses as TS comorbidities.

TL;DR: Although a number of reliable and valid measures now exists for assessment of acute pain for research and clinical purposes, there is still a paucity of measurement instruments for assessing pain in developmentally and cognitively challenged children.

TL;DR: Technical aspects of MR imaging, nuclear imaging, and X-ray imaging methods, as used for the study of brain structure and function, and the relative advantages and disadvantages of different types of imaging are evaluated.

TL;DR: There is still no consensus about which neuroanatomic or neurophysiologic abnormalities, detectable through neuroimaging, are characteristic of this disorder.

TL;DR: Mind-body pain management methods begin with the mind and provide pain relief through an attentional focus, which includes hypnosis, biofeedback relaxation, and the bubbleblowing method of behavioral distraction.

TL;DR: For example, this paper showed increased activity in the corticostriatal pathway involving anterior orbitofrontal cortex and the caudate nucleus, both at rest and during symptom provocation, which is attenuated following effective treatment.

TL;DR: The specific role of substance use and adolescent academic difficulties is presented in the context of other related problems, especially conduct disorders, and an approach to assessment and intervention emphasizing a sequence of events is described.

TL;DR: In this article, the current state of neuroimaging in affective disorders is discussed and a comprehensive review of structural and functional findings are provided, including comparisons between different methodologic and design issues affecting comparability and quality of these types of studies.

TL;DR: The practice of child-focused family therapy involves a collaborative process including family and professionals with clearly defined roles of participation and goals for treatment.

TL;DR: In this paper, the contribution of neuroimaging studies to our understanding of several specific syndromes associated with developmental dysfunction in children is reviewed, and the mechanisms through which distinct genetic factors lead to abnormal brain development and cognitive and behavioral dysfunction are explored.
