ough the collaborative use of test results. Patients were evaluated

before (T0), in the middle (T1) and after (T2) the assessment using

CGI, GAF, HAM-A, HAM-D and MRS scales.

Results

Eighty-eight adolescents, 56.8% females, diagnosed with

anxiety (47.7%) and mood disorders (52.3%) completed the pro-

tocol. HAM-A, HAM-D, MRS, CGI and GAF significantly improved

at T1 and T2 with respect to T0 (T0: HAM-A 17.31

Introduction

In addition to problems with inattention and hyper-

activity, children with ADHD show poor organizational skills

required for managing time and materials in academic projects.

Poor organizational skills are associated with academic under-

achievement as well as psychosocial, occupational and economic

difficulties. Behavioral approaches for ADHD are effective in reduc-

ing hyperactivity symptoms and behavioral problems, but the

effects on academic functioning have been modest. An increas-

ing emphasis on treatment of organizational skills has emerged

in recent years, as difficulties with time management and orga-

nization of materials tend to persist and increase with age despite

medication and behavioral treatments.

Objectives

The primary objective is to investigate whether orga-

nizational skills training has a positive effect on organizational

skills. The secondary and exploratory objectives are to investigate

the effect on ADHD symptoms, adaptive functioning, academic per-

formance and cognitive functions with a 24 weeks follow up.

Aims

Our goal is to provide cost-effective group-based treatment

for children with ADHD and their parents. This will be the first

randomized and controlled trial of organizational skills inDenmark.

Methods

Participants are included in two sites in Southern Den-

mark and will be randomized to Organizational skills training or

treatment as usual. Organizational skills training will be provided

in a group format for children and parents over 10 weeks.

Perspectives Given the strong association between organizational

skills and functional outcome, it is very important to address

organizational skills in children and adolescents with ADHD as

organizational skills deficits hinder the academic performance of

even gifted students with ADHD and increase with age.

Children with somatic symptoms

disorders and disruptive behavior

disorder: Which is the role of anger to

caregivers?

Introduction

The quality of adult-infant interactions represents a

critical context in which child adaptation problems could evolve,

and child psychopathology could develop. Literature has investi-

gated the role of attachment to caregivers, nevertheless, there is

a paucity of studies on middle-childhood and early adolescence in

patients with somatic symptoms disorders and disruptive behavior

disorders.

Objective

This study investigates the attachment to caregivers in

childrenwith somatic symptoms disorders and disruptive behavior

disorders, focusing on the role of Anger to mothers and fathers.

Aims

The aims are to verify the presence of: – high frequency of

insecure attachment;

– an overrepresentation of attachment disorganization;

– high levels of Anger to caregivers.

Method

Fifty-six patients with somatic symptoms disorders, and

42 patients with disruptive behavior disorders, aged from 8 to 15,

are administered the child attachment interview.

Results

Findings show: – Insecure attachment in more than half

of the patients;

– a significant presence of disorganized attachment with respect to

both parents;

–higher levels of anger to father in childrenwith somatic symptoms

disorders.

Conclusion

Considering the attachment to have a regulatory

function, the knowledge of the different attachment strategies in

middle-childhood and early adolescence may enhance our under-

standing and improve the management and the treatment of

patients with somatic symptoms disorders and disruptive behavior

disorders.

childhood and adolescence:

post-traumatic symptomatology

F. Bizzi

University of Genoa, Department of Educational Sciences, Genoa, Italy

Introduction

In line with a consistent literature, young patients

with disruptive behavior disorders in childhood and adolescence

have experienced some traumatic events, such as abuse, rejection

and violence assisted. Recent studies are focusing the attention on

the role of attachment and post-traumatic symptomatology for a

better evaluation of this clinical condition.

Objective

This study investigates attachment models and post-

traumatic symptomatology in young patients with disruptive

behavior disorders.

Aim(s)

The following objectives are set by the present study: – to

evaluate attachment models in a group of children diagnosed with

disruptive behavior disorders;

– to evaluate their post-traumatic symptomatology;

– to test the extent of the association between post-traumatic

symptomatology and attachment organization in young patients

with disruptive behavior disorders.

Method

Forty-two Italian patients aged from 8 to 15 previously

diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders are compared to 42

healthy control subjects. We administer the child attachment inter-

view and trauma symptom checklist for children-adolescent.

Results

Insecure attachment are found in more than half of the

patients diagnosed with disruptive behavior disorders and disor-

ganization are highly over-represented. Furthermore, low levels of

post-traumatic symptoms are found in young patients with disrup-

tive behavior disorders.
