Early childhood mental health and aetiology
Aetiology There is consensus that some genetic predisposition exists. Although family factors have also been implicated, their role in severe cases is unclear. Birth complications and diet play a part in a minority of cases. Assessment is usually preceded by collecting information using the Conners’ Teacher’s and Parent’s Questionnaires. These questionnaires are used to screen […]

Mental health promotion – aetiology and demographic features
Health promotion is the focus of Chapter 1 of this book. As in many other psychiatric conditions, it is unlikely that there is one causal factor but rather a host of variables which interact to produce the eating disorder.

Aetiology of paedophilia
Theories of the aetiology of paedophilia are rather limited and focus more on social and psychological factors than on biological ones.

Aetiology of transvestic fetishism
Aetiology of transvestic fetishism Biological factors There are surprisingly few studies of a biological cause of transvestism – and most are case studies rather than formal scientifi c studies. One such case, reported by Riley, involved a 72-year-old man who was treated with a drug known as selegiline, an MAOI which, among other actions, increases […]

Aetiology of vaginismus
Aetiology of vaginismus Psychoanalytic explanations Classic psychoanalytic theory considers vaginismus to result from unresolved psychosexual confl icts in early childhood.

Aetiology of panic disorder
Genetic factors Evidence that panic disorder has a genetic component can be found in studies such as that by Kendler et al. who found concordance rates of 24 per cent between MZ twins, and 11 per cent between DZ twins. These and other data placed within a meta-analysis by Hettema et al. indicated that panic […]

Aetiology of phobias
Psychoanalytic models According to Freud, phobias act as a defence against the anxiety experienced when impulses formed by the id are repressed – resulting in a displacement of the repressed feelings onto the object or situation with which it is symbolically associated.

Aetiology of conversion disorder
Social processes Social factors are involved in the development of conversion disorder, at least on some occasions.

Aetiology of body dysmorphic disorder
Socio-cultural factors There has been little systematic research into the social and cultural factors associated with the development of body dysmorphic disorder. However, given the importance placed on physical appearance in society, it is not unreasonable to suspect that societal beliefs and attitudes have a role to play. There is certainly evidence that the media […]
