The 2020 John R Lutzker Lecture featured Dr. V. Mark Durand, Distinguished University Professor of Psychology at the University of South Florida St. Petersburg.
His presentation topic was Supporting Families of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and Challenging Behavior.
Challenging behaviors continue to top the list of concerns for families of persons with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Research shows that the presence of these problem behaviors can negatively impact the mental health of family members. Although we have made impressive gains in helping reduce these problem behaviors, obstacles remain. In this presentation, Dr. Durand covered new insights into these obstacles and how families and others can overcome them and effectively help persons with even the most severe behavioral challenges. Evidenced-based approaches to replacing behavior problems were discussed and Dr. Durand described how advances in positive psychology can help caregivers be more effective in their efforts to help those with ASD and how to help themselves lead happier and less stressful lives.

Parent child conflict involves a struggle or opposition between a parent (s) and his/her offspring. The child wants his/her way and the parent is determined to have his/ her way. Indeed it can involve a single isolated incident or a series of situations. Oftentimes, the parent believes that what ever he/she says to their child, the child will be in direct
contrast. The power struggle can become exceedingly challenging especially when one has a child who is adolescent.
For a start let us look at your parental style of discipline to determine where conflict and tension may be coming from. Depending on your parental style and your own belief system, there are messages that
your child learns from the interactions.
What is your belief system and what is your child learning from you? How does this belief system influence your behaviour and interactions with your child? How does this belief system contribute to the parent child conflict?
Problem solving strategies between parent and child are important to develop.Sometimes the conflict is such that the communication between the parent and child is so strained that the two parties cannot communicate and problem solve together. Seeking professional help from a counselor can be beneficial to bridge this gap.
The role of the counselor in working in the area of parent/child conflict is not to be the decision-maker to settle the disputes. Refining parenting and communication skills is the focus of therapy.

Parenting Practices among Depressed
Mothers in the Child Welfare System
Patricia L. Kohl, Jacqueline Njeri Kagotho, and David Dixon
The purpose of this study was to analyze a nationally representative sample of families referred
to Child Protective Services (CPS) agencies, the National Survey of Child and Adolescent
Weil-Being, to examine the association between maternal depression and parenting practices
over a 36-month follow-up period.Three hypotheses were tested: (1) Depressed mothers are'
more likely to demonstrate harsh parenting than are nondepressed mothers; (2) depressed
mothers are more likely to demonstrate neglectful parenting than are nondepressed mothers;
and (3) depressed mothers are more likely to demonstrate emotional maltreatment than are
nondepressed mothers. The interaction between depression and time was also analyzed for
each parenting practice to determine how changes in maternal depression affected changes in
parenting. The sample for this study was 1,536 mother-child dyads in which the child was age
three to 10 years and remained in the home after a CPS investigation. Depression remained
high across time points and was associated with increased risk of emotional maltreatment and
neglect over a 36-inonth period. In addition, self-reported emotional maltreatment remained
high across time points. Implications of this work are the needs for better identification of
mental health needs for mothers entering the child welfare system and parent training to
specifically address positive parenting.

2.1 What is Statistics?
Section 2.1. Chapter 1
Overview
What is statistics? If you think statistics is just another math course with many formulas and lifeless numbers, you are not alone. However, this is a myth that hopefully will be debunked as you work through this course. Statistics is about data. More precisely, statistics is a collection of procedures and principles for gaining and processing information from collected data. Knowing these principles and procedures will help you make intelligent decisions in everyday life when faced with uncertainty. The following examples are meant to illuminate the definition of statistics.
Example 2.1. Angry Women
Who are those angry women? (Streitfield, D., 1988 and Wallis, 1987.) In 1987, Shere Hite published a best-selling book called Women and Love: A Cultural Revolution in Progress. This 7-year research project produced a controversial 922-page publication that summarized the results from a survey that was designed to examine how American women feel about their relationships with men. Hite mailed out 100,000 fifteen-page questionnaires to women who were members of a wide variety of organizations across the U.S. These organizations included church, political, volunteer, senior citizen, and counseling groups, among many others. Questionnaires were actually sent to the leader of each organization. The leader was asked to distribute questionnaires to all members. Each questionnaire contained 127 open-ended questions with many parts and follow-ups. Part of Hite’s directions read as follows: “Feel free to skip around and answer only those questions you choose.” Approximately 4500 questionnaires were returned. Below are a few statements from this 1987 publication.
· 84% of women are not emotionally satisfied with their relationships
· 95% of women reported emotional and psychological harassment from their partners
· 70% of women married 5 years or more are having extramarital ...

What is Depression?
History of Depression
Depression was initially called ‘melancholia’(BC Mesapotamia)
Mental illnesses were attributed to demonic possession and treated by priests
Hippocrates proposed that mental illnesses were related to imbalance of hormones in the body
During the Renaissance, people were executed for mental illness but doctors believed Hippocrates who asserted that mental illness was due to natural causes
In the 18th and 19th centuries, people believed depression was inherited and that those with illnesses should be locked up
Symptoms of depression
Irritability
Feelings of sadness
Social withdrawal
Increased sensitivity to rejection
Change in appetite and sleep
Outbursts and difficulty concentrating

1. Healthy Controls vs. Children Referred for Aggression
in ChIA sibling Anger Items
The ChIA Distribution of Answers
Correlations: Parent and Child Reports and Siblings
Methods
Participants
• Only 2 participants did not have siblings – one from each group
Design
• Participants between ages of 8 and 16 included in analysis were part of a study
examining success of CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) to treat anger in
children referred for aggressive behavior
• Parent reports and child self-reports
Data Analytic Plan
• Analyze reliability of ChIA items examining anger directed towards siblings
• Analyze distribution of answers to ChIA
• T-test to compare means across two groups (controls and children referred for
aggression)
• Correlations to test various relationships between presence of siblings and
parent and child reports of aggression
Measures
Sibling Aggression and the Children’s Inventory of Anger (ChIA)
Anna Grishaw, B.A., Megan E. Tudor, Ph.D., Emilie J. Bertschinger, B.A, & Denis G. Sukhodolsky, Ph.D.
Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine
Introduction
Sibling Aggression
• Sibling aggression is highly prevalent but not focused on (Duncan, 1999)
• However, it is unique from other forms of childhood aggression presence of
siblings may escalate physical aggression impacting social and emotional
development and family functioning (Tudor et. Al., under review)
• Presence of a sibling has largest impact on level of physical aggression during
early childhood (few studies have focused on this issue) (Tremblay et al., 2004)
• Sibling conflict should be more targeted research on sibling aggression by
researchers and clinicians (Tremblay et al., 2004)
• No measures of a completely sibling-focused subscale of behavior (Tudor et al., under
review)
ChIA
• The Children’s Inventory of Anger (ChIA) has 39 items
• Presents hypothetical anger-provoking situations and asks children to rate the
intensity of their anger on a scale from 1 to 5 (Nelson & Finch, 2000)
1: “I don’t care. That situation doesn’t even bother me.”
2: “that bothers me”
3: “I am really angry or mad”
4: “I can’t stand that! I’m furious”
• Higher scores are associated with higher levels of aggressive behavior
• Has four items that measure anger directed at siblings
Hypothesis
• Children referred for aggression compared to healthy controls will score higher
on the four ChIA sibling items for anger and aggresssion
• Also will score higher on other measures relating to aggression
Figure 2. Group mean differences on ChIA sibling items. ** p < .01
Study Aims
• Examine 4 items of the ChIA to create a subscale to examine anger directed
towards siblings
• Examine anger and aggression between
• See if there are any correlations between various measures of anger and
aggression and ChIA items and presence of siblings
• Item 5 made children the most angry
• Item 38 did not bother most children
Item 3: Your brother or sister or
friend ignores you
Item 5: You have a job to do that your
brother or sister was supposed to do
Item 19: Your brother or sister says
“No” when you ask for something
Item 38: You have to do your HW and
your brother or sister gets to watch TV

**Correlation is significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed)
• Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL): asses behavioral and emotional problems
including aggressive behavior (Achenbach, 1991)
• Children’s Inventory of Anger (ChIA) (Nelson & Finch, 2000)
• Antisocial process screening device (APSD): rating scale assesses traits
associated with the construct of psychopathy in youths (Frick et al., 2001)
• Reactive-proactive aggression questionnaire (RPQ): asses proactive
(instrumental or organized) and reactive (emotionally motivated) aggression
(Raine et al., 2006)
Discussion
The ChIA and Reliability
• Children referred for anger and aggression displayed increased anger towards siblings
compared to healthy controls
• Sibling items on ChIA appear reliable
• Increased reliability in the measure without Item 3, which states “a sibling or a friend ignores you”
• This is the only question of the four ChIA items examined, which implicates a scenario with
someone who is not a sibling
Siblings and parent and child self-report
• ChIA items looking at aggression between siblings had no significant correlations with number of
siblings
• Lack of correlations with ChIA sibling items and total score imply sibling aggression may be
distinct from the other measures of anger and aggression
Future Directions
• Increase the sample-size; there were not many children who did not have siblings in the study
• Develop sibling specific measures for instance adapting the ChIA and adding sibling-focused
hypothetical scenarios
• Conduct future studies examining sibling aggression in children referred for anger and healthy
controls
Implications
• Most participants had one or more siblings – indicates the possibility that children with
aggressive pre-dispositions are more prone to anger at their siblings
• Sibling aggression deserves special consideration
• Greater focus on both the creation of measures and treatment programs focused on sibling
aggression
Reliability of the Sibling Items ChIA
• Fair reliability of the four sibling items in the ChIA ( = .685)
• Indicates these four items group together and measure sibling aggression
• If exclude ChIA item 3 “your brother or sister or friend ignores you” reliability is in the increases
further into the acceptable range ( = .724)
• Higher self-reports of sibling
aggression in the children who were
referred for aggressive behavior
compared to healthy controls (t(71)
= 2.94, p = .004)
