Future Teraphy
In this article, I would suggest that now is the time of psychotherapy to begin considering the future. Not from the standpoint of theory and contemporary debates about research and practice, the arguments that are thick cooked in mental health policy and considerations of the benefit of private health companies. I rather think that therapists may need to examine their professional role from a future perspective to see what role, if any, we should start anticipating the biotechnology revolution in the coming decades. If the futurists are correct, then ten years from now the most difficult issues that mental health professionals and is now in retrospect, be totally superfluous.
The world is prepared to advance exponentially in the technologies that will fundamentally alter the nature of human beings. If the profession of psychotherapy is to remain relevant, I think we must start preparing for this revolution. It is possible that in the not too distant future of our customers will be presenting issues of concern and incredible enthusiasm unfathomable new choices they will face in the future post-human. As therapists, we have a responsibility, I think, to deal with these problems in the context of their spiritual ramifications profound psychological and ethical.
In May 2002, the Institute of Ideas, a public policy discussion in London, organized a debate entitled post-human future. She gave an overview of reflection on how the scientific ingenuity is likely to have an impact on basic human nature Givens. The shift function, the philosopher Francis Fukuyama, author of Our Posthuman Futures (2002), and the scientist Gregory Stock, author of Redesigning Humans (2002). Interestingly, the debate focuses not on whether or not fundamental changes in the essence of humanity happen, but if these changes, considered inevitable, should be regulated according to ethical concerns. What guarantees, if any, should be in place when playing with the basic elements of human existence? In this discussion five years ago, Fukuyama, a typical philosopher warned us to start thinking about our technology before we are in a world that no longer recognize.

Child Psychiatry
Introduction Child Psychiatry: Psychiatric disorders in children present are different from those of adults, since they arise in complex and intimate family relationships, and are influenced by the stage of child development. Children also present particular challenges for evaluation and treatment.
Psychiatric disorders present in childhood or adolescence are listed in Table

2. It is essential to take into account the stage of development of the stage of the child for a psychiatric evaluation, which is accepted as normal in one stage to another will be abnormal. Early childhood experiences play an important role in determining what type of people we are as adults.
The role of parents is crucial in this. The child with the parents (or parent) who are loving and tolerant, however, able to establish and implement clear and reasonable limits likely to develop high self-esteem and a secure attachment to parents who provide a secure attachment model of others in later life. The theory of “attachment” was first described by John Bowlby in the 1950s. It stems from his study of young children separated from their mothers in the hospital. attachment behavior begins about 7 months and is clinging and unwillingness to separate from the primary caregiver, usually the mother. Serves to strengthen the bond between mother and son and has a role in the evolution of the protection of children against predators. A child is secured in position to use the mother as a secure base from which to explore the outside world can begin, and will also be able to react well to short-term separations. If the attachment is poor because the father does not meet the needs of children for care or detention, or is inconsistent, the child will be challenged to explore and separation.
This pattern of insecure attachment may persist throughout life, affecting adult relationships. Assessment of Children How psychiatric history is taken and that the child is considered dependent on age, confidence and language skills of children. Much of the story comes from parents and children who are willing to leave their parents can be seen alone. It is generally preferable to see only adolescents and their parents before establishing a relationship of trust with them. The interview should take place in a relaxed and friendly, with toys and drawing materials provided for children under 10 years. The history should include the following: Submission of complaints reported by the parent and child. It is important to take the child to ask about the complaint in a smooth, after winning their trust and talking about neutral topics. the recent behavior or emotional difficulties, including general health, mood, sleep, appetite, elimination, relationships, antisocial behavior, life and fantasy games and behavior at school. Personal history, pregnancy, birth, milestones (motor, speech, feeding, sphincter control, social behavior), medical history, separation of parents, schools attended and progress on them.

Psychotherapy
An Evidence-based Treatment for Disorders of Attachment; the Empirical Support
Dyadic Development Psychotherapy (DDP) is an objective and effective treatment of children suffering from trauma and attachment disorders [1]. It is a treatment based on the evidence means that empirical research has been published by scientific journals. Craven and Lee (2006) found that DDP is a process supported and acceptable (category 3 on a system with six levels). However, the review only included the results of a partial presentation of a preliminary study of continuous monitoring, which was later completed and published in 2006.
The first study compared the development of dyadic psychotherapy with other forms of treatment, “usual care”, one year after completion of treatment. It is important to note that over 80% of children in the study had more than three previous episodes of treatment, but there is no improvement in their symptoms and behaviors. episodic treatment: a course of therapy with other mental health providers and other clinics, consisting of at least five sessions. A second study extended these results to four years after the end of treatment. On the basis of classifications Craven & Lee (Saunders et al. 2004), the inclusion of these studies have led to Dyadic Development Psychotherapy be classified as Category 2 based on the evidence, “the support and effective probably. There were two related studies the comparison of the results of empirical treatment of dyadic developmental psychotherapy with a control group. This is the basis for the rating category two.
