Helping children to help themselves: a case study of enuresis and nail biting

Article Abstract:

Issues concering the Self-Control Dual Intervention Model (SCDIM) are examined, focusing on its use to treat a 10-year-old boy who suffers from enuresis and nail biting. Topics include the success of the treatment; the relationship among self-control, independence and self-help; and the four steps involved in SCDIM, which include cognitive restructuring, problem analysis, attentional focus, and self-control practice; and implications for teaching other independent skills.

Exploring out-of-home placement as a moderator of help-seeking behavior among adolescents who are high risk

Article Abstract:

A study investigated foster or group care placement as a predictor of help-seeking behavior among adolescents who were at high risk for physical and mental health problems. Adolescents who experienced placement had more physical and mental health problems compared to the random and matched groups, but foster or group care placement was associated with help-seeking behavior only for two problems, depression and conduct disorder.

Combining abuse and neglect investigations with intensive family preservation services: an innovative approach to protecting children

Article Abstract:

This article explores a model in which protection for children is enhanced by the joint efforts of child protective services and family preservation services. The author, arguing child abuse and neglect is increasing, maintains that an experimental design in which child protective service investigators worked with family preservation service caseworkers demonstrated that the model was effective and needs to be implemented.
