Intrafamily violence when precocious, chronic and recurrent may lead to the development of mental disorders, including Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Complex Trauma. The effects of exposure to intrafamily violence commonly are not limited to childhood and adolescence, and may impact psychological, social and occupational functioning in adulthood. The most effortful intervention to these cases involves individual psychotherapy (cognitive-behavioral psychotherapy) and family psychotherapy (systemic and cognitive-behavioral). In the cognitive-behavioral-systemic approach, the lifeline technique can be characterized as a useful strategy in the evaluation of the temporal course of the exposure to stressor events, as well as the adaptive and maladaptive answers from the members of the family system. The aim of this paper is to present a brief family psychotherapy process with a family exposed to multiple situations of intrafamily violence with the use of lifeline’s technique as a therapeutic approach.

Moderating Factors

AbstractWe agree with Christiansen & Chater (C&C) that language processing and acquisition are tightly constrained by the limits of sensory and memory systems. However, the human brain supports a range of cognitive functions that mitigate the effects of information processing bottlenecks. The language system is partly organised around these moderating factors, not just around restrictions on storage and computation.

Regenerating myofibers in tibialis anterior muscles of young ‘MDX’ mice

Mode Of Inheritance

A recently discovered mouse model (‘mdx’) for muscular dystrophy in man may be of considerable interest, since the disease in ‘mdx’ mice is inherited by the same mode of inheritance (X-linked) as the human Duchenne (DMD) muscular dystrophy. Unlike DMD, which results in a situation in which the continual muscle destruction cannot keep up with abortive regenerative attempts of the musculature, and the sufferers of the disease die early, the disease in ‘mdx’ mice appears to be transient, and the mice do not die as a result of it. In fact, it has been reported that the severely damaged Tibialis anterior (TA) muscles of ‘mdx’ mice seem to display exceptionally good regenerative powers at 4-6 weeks, so much so, that these muscles are able to regenerate spontaneously up to their previous levels of physiological activity.

Abstract Complex trauma resulting from chronic maltreatment and prenatal alcohol exposure can significantly affect child development and academic outcomes. Children with histories of maltreatment and those with prenatal alcohol exposure exhibit remarkably similar central nervous system impairments. In this article, I will review the effects of each on the brain and discuss clinical implications for these populations of children.
