The authors used structural equation modeling to test the mediational role of affect regulation on attachment and deliberate self-harm in 216 undergraduates. Results suggest that affect regulation mediates the relationship between attachment and deliberate self-harm, providing support for the theoretical importance of attachment and affect regulation in the etiology of self-harm behaviors. Accordingly, attachment styles should be considered when providing clinical assistance to college students in an effort to improve affect regulation and to treat deliberate self-harm.

Techniques and maneuvers of physical diagnosis being taught and practiced in well-child care require little participation by the child patient During the first three years of life, the stresses of physical growth require frequent application of traditional examination techniques, as auscultation, palpation, and manipulation. Defects previously occult, made manifest by growth, must be identified. But after age three, "appropriate end points now consist of deters mining the child's competence to perform under the physiologically stressful conditions imposed by new social and learning situations." As illustration, the authors describe in detail, an annual health examination being given to well children in private practice. Especial emphasis is placed on hearing problems in their relation to poor work in school. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
