INTRODUCTION
This millennial edition of the Annual Progress in Child Psychiatry and Child
Development includes papers published in 1999 and 2000. The collection provides an
overview of the wide-ranging interests of both researchers and clinicians at the turn of the
twentieth century. Thirty papers, organized into six sections: Developmental Issues;
Parenting; Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder; Other Clinical Issues; Treatment
Issues; and Violence and Victimization include both research reports and reviews of the
literature.
DEVELOPMENTAL ISSUES
The six papers in this section cover a wide range of topics. The paper by Frances
D.Horowitz, written as the presidential address to the Society for Research in Child
Development, was a warning to researchers about how to present child development
knowledge to the public. She used the acronym “PITS” (person in the street) to refer to
the public. Horowitz was concerned that developmental scientists might oversimplify
child development in an attempt to respond to public interest. For example, if one were
asked whether child care had a negative or positive effect on development one should not
give a yes/no response. She presents a model that highlights the range of experiences
(environmental and relationship factors) that interact with constitution to result in
developmental outcomes.
The second paper by Posner and Rothbart is an intriguing forward-looking discussion
of the topic of self-regulation. The authors refer to studies of the self-regulation of
attention and cognitive processes. The paper highlights recent work in neuroimaging that
allows us to study brain plasticity and examine individual differences in self-regulation.
The authors believe that individual differences in effortful control have implications for
normal and pathological development.
The next two papers are on attachment. The paper by Sroufe and colleagues reviews
“implications of attachment theory for developmental psychopathology.” Attachment
categories typically have been proposed to be variations on normal rather than
pathological development. The authors elaborate on the transactional model for
understanding the various pathways underlying pathology and the role of attachment
relations within that model. Waters and his colleagues present new data on the stability of
attachment classifications. They assessed 50 21-year-old individuals who had been seen
in the Strange Situation when they were 12 months of age. The young adults completed
the Adult Attachment Interview. There was a significant correspondence of categories
between age one and age twenty-one. This is a nice, clean presentation of stability in a
middle-class sample.
The next paper by White and colleagues is an interesting study of an important topic,
the infant with colic. The authors used parent diaries and physiological measures. The
data suggested that colic might be associated with a delay in the establishment of the
circadian rhythm. Colic, although only lasting for a few months, can present significant
burdens on family relationships. An understanding of the physiological basis of colic will
one day lead to meaningful interventions.
The last paper in this section is a small data-gathering study of an intriguing topic.
Imaginary friends have long been noted in child development literature. However, there
have been little data to suggest which children develop imaginary friends and whether the
children who have imaginary friends have socialization difficulties. Gleason and
colleagues distinguish children with invisible friends, personified objects, and with no
imaginary companions.
PARENTING
Part II presents three papers on parenting. The first paper, “Contemporary research on
parenting: The case for nature and nurture,” is a collaborative effort by five
psychologists, all well-established researchers on parenting. This is a thoughtful
presentation of the different contexts for studying parental influence on child
development. These include behavior genetics models that tease apart the percentage of
nature and nurture on specific characteristics, gene-by-environment models, and parental
influence models. They also present a discussion of environmental influences such as
peers and neighborhood that affect parental influence.
The second paper by Golombok and Murray and colleagues, discusses issues in
parenting created by new reproductive technologies. They investigated parental and child
functioning in four groups of families in which the parentchild genetic link varied. The
groups included adoptive families, families created by in vitro fertilization, egg donation
families, and donor sperm families. It is only since the 1980s that woman can have donor
eggs implanted and conceive a child not genetically linked to them. Results are
counterintuitive and worthy of continuing investigation. The paper raises interesting
issues, including telling children about genetic parentage.
The third paper is, “Parenting among mothers with a serious mental illness.”
Improvements in medication, deinstitutionalization, and communitybased support
programs have resulted in more women with serious mental illness being able to have and
raise children. Oyserman and her colleagues review an important literature. They
describe what is known about mothers with serious mental illness, including
schizophrenia and affective disorders.
ATTENTION DEFICIT-HYPERACTIVITY DISORDER
The diagnosis and treatment of attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the
subject of increasing interest and concern among those devoted to enhancing the welfare
of children, including parents, pediatricians, child psychiatrists and psychologists, as well
as educators. Debate, often acrimonious, has tended to focus on the validity of diagnosis
