Sleep problems are common in childhood and can cause damage in children. There is a possible association between childhood sleep disorders and behavioral problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between internalizing and externalizing problems and sleep problems in children of pre-school age, assessed by their mothers through the Child Behavior Checklist ( CBCL1 ½ -5 years) when seeking care at a clinic school psychology . The study included 83 mothers of children (and their children were: 58 boys and 25 girls) whose ages ranged between 2 and 5 years. Analysis indicated that 29 % of children had sleep problems among which the most frequent were "not wanting to sleep alone" and "resist the bed". The data also suggested an association between sleep problems and internalizing (PR = 1,4; p < 0,05) and externalizing (PR = 1,4; p < 0,05) behaviors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Three aspects are discussed, in this paper, in terms of a cognitive-behavioral approach: 1. couple conflict; 2. child psychological disturbance; 3. clinical implications of a relation between these two items. Evidences of a couple conflict that may lead to psychological assistance is the start point of this paper. Further, psychological assessment indications are presented in order to help clinical psychologist to tell if there is or not conflict on a couple that brings a child to therapy. Parent's perceptions of a "difficult child" in contrast to an "easy child" are the start to make the distinction between child internalizing and externalizing disturbance and their determinants. In continuation, it is established a distinction between causal factors directly and indirectly linked to a problematic behavior as it is a couple conflict, for instance. It is concluded that, to have a proper treatment defined to the child, it is necessary one accurate diagnosis and assessment. That will be comprehensive, it means, not restricted on child immediate context, and enlarged sufficiently to reach macro system, where his parents are included. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This article aims to present a review of the area of clinical interventions that use the video as a strategy of intervention, especially in the area of parents training of pre-school children. It also intends to present functional hypothesis about the behavioral process implicit in the positive results with the use of this resource. It discusses the advantages of using the video in the optimization of the instructions offered, for shortening the interventions, encouraging membership, reducing costs and leading to the achievement of positive results in the shortest time possible.

The Youth Self-Report is a North-American self evaluation inventory of behavior problems aimed at youth (11-18 years). A literature review has indicated an absence of validation studies of this questionnaire in Brazil and the coexistence of two translations, here named Forms A and B. To overcome such difficulty, helping future researches, a group of 90 youths (M = 13.12; SD = 0.805) from three Brazilian cities fulfilled successively both translations: half of them followed the sequence A-B and the other half the sequence B-A. In both situations all the participants had a break equivalent to the duration of a class before filling the second translation. No statistical differences were found regarding the answers on both forms. The correlation index between forms A and B was elevated for most scales, indicating content equivalence. In conclusion, it is desirable to have only one translation in use in Brazil, considering the results that depicted that both translations are capable of measuring, with similar intensity, the proposed behaviors.
