Recommended: Discuss self-concept analysis

I chose to review the Beck’s Youth Inventories for Children and Adolescents: Second Edition (BYI-II). I decided to review this inventory because I always read and heard great things in the Psychology field about this inventory. BYI-II was authored by Judith Beck, Aaron Beck, John Jolly, and Robert Steer. These authors collaborated to form an inventory for assessing children and adolescents’ experiences about depression, anxiety, disruptive behavior, anger, and self-concept. Children ages 7 to 18 are the targeted population. In 2001, the first BYI-II was published by Pearson. If any person is interested in administering the BYI-II, it will cost 315 dollars for the starter kit that includes the manual for interpreting scores. Professional and

    138 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Adolescent Pathology Scale (APS) was first administered in 1998 (Reynolds, 1998). The APS ambitiously measures 40 dimensions of adolescent psychopathology. (Konold, 2001). 25 of these dimensions are a reflection from the DSM-IV. The APS scales includes: 20 scales of clinical disorders, 5 scales of personality disorders, 11 scales of psychosocial problems, and 4 scales of response style indicators. There are also three additional factors (Internalizing, Externalizing, and Personality) that can be obtained by the combination of various scales (Konold, 2001). The author states that the APS is not intended to provide for a formal diagnosis of various disorders (Piersel, 2001). In addition, the APS-short form assesses the frequency of symptoms

  • Depression in America's Teens

    2855 Words  | 6 Pages

    Teenage Depression. Everywhere you look these two words appear together as one, in newspapers and magazines, as well as in scholarly reports. Teenage depression is one of today's "hot topics" this among other teenage mental health problems, has been brought to the forefront of public consciousness in recent years after several incidents involving school shootings (CQ 595). The environment that teens grow up in today is less supportive and more demanding than it was twenty years ago. Not only are the numbers of depressed teens rising, but children are also being diagnosed at younger and younger ages. Studies have found that, "There is an estimated 1.5-3 million American children and adolescents who suffer from depression, a condition unrecognized in children until about 20 years ago" (CQR 595). This increase in depression is due to social factors that teenagers have to deal with everyday. A recent study found that, "About five percent of teenagers have major depression at any one time. Depression can be very impairing, not only for the affected teen, but also for his or her family-and too often, if not addressed, depression can lead to substance abuse or more tragic events" (NAMI.org). Gender roles and other societal factors including the pressures on girls to look and act a certain way, the pressures on boys to suppress their emotions and put on a tough front and the pressures on both sexes to do well in school and succeed, all contribute to depression in teens today. Depression is a growing problem which crosses gender lines and one that needs to be dealt with with more than just medication.

  • Case Study: The Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory

    320 Words  | 1 Pages

    The Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory (MACI) replaced the Millon Adolescent Personality Inventory (MAPI), which had two versions. One version of the MAPI was for clinicians to use on teenagers who were already receiving treatment for emotional or behavioral disorders, and the other version was for school counselors to use in determining which students would benefit from being assessed further (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2008). Then, the MACI was created and combined both versions of the MAPI into one test, in addition to including other behaviors that were not previously assessed on the original MAPI (Kaufman & Kaufman, 2008). The MACI is also considered a viable alternative to the MMPI-A, or the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory for Adolescents;

  • Adolescent Depresssion

    Adolescent despondency affects the way an individual sleeps, eats, the way they feel about themselves and those around them (“Side Effects of Untreated Depression”). This particular mental disease changes the outlook on a teenager’s view on themselves, loved ones, and their surroundings. Depression can be a responsive action to certain situations, such as emotional trauma, and stress. It can have devastating, and in some cases, life threatening, effects on younger members of society. Due to the fact that normal, unaffected teenagers naturally have fluctuating moods, it is much more difficult to diagnose depression at this age.
