Karen Horney

The purpose of research is to establish K. Horney’s views on psychological problems, by means of theoretical analysis of literature. The term "psychological problem" is not mentioned by Karen Horney, however, she describes emotional, cognitive and behavioral problems of individual components of personality, which allows us to treat the problems as psychological. Emotional, cognitive and behavioral problems are interrelated components that allow us to speak about the specific structure of psychological problems. According to Karen Horney, problems appear due to socio-cultural conditions that create stressful situations for the person (or their environment), their processing depends on the personal characteristics, and in some cases leads to neurosis or psychological problems. Neurosis emerges in the setting of psychological problems and a failed attempt to adapt to them; neurosis can be regarded as a secondary problem on the background of the primary psychological problem. Karen Horney identifies personal problems, problems of work activity, relationship problems and problems associated with the aim. Social issues, particularly the problem of work activity or relationship problems, can occur secondary and result from personal problems. The results obtained show that, in spite of the fact that Karen Horney’s studies did not focus on psychological problems, by comparing problems with a neurosis, she refers to certain types of psychological problems, their causes, mechanisms of occurrence, structure, implications which allows one to highlight the psychological problems as a separate psychological category. The results are expanding the understanding of the matter and may be useful in practical psychology when dealing with clients.

Abstract Background During the current ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, psychological problems like anxiety, depression, irritability, mood swings, inattention and sleep disturbance are fairly common among quarantined children in several studies. A systematic review of these publications to provide an accurate burden of these psychiatric/behavioral problems is needed for planning mitigating measures by the health authorities. Methods Different electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, Web of Science, CENTRAL, medRxiv and bioRxiv) were searched for articles describing psychological/behavioral complications in children/adolescents with/without pre-existing behavioral abnormalities and their caregivers related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Only original articles with/without comparator arms and a minimum sample size of 50 were included in the analysis. The pooled estimate of various psychological/behavioral problems was calculated using a random-effect meta-analysis. Results Fifteen studies describing 22 996 children/adolescents fulfilled the eligibility criteria from a total of 219 records. Overall, 34.5%, 41.7%, 42.3% and 30.8% of children were found to be suffering from anxiety, depression, irritability and inattention. Although the behavior/psychological state of a total of 79.4% of children was affected negatively by the pandemic and quarantine, at least 22.5% of children had a significant fear of COVID-19, and 35.2% and 21.3% of children had boredom and sleep disturbance. Similarly, 52.3% and 27.4% of caregivers developed anxiety and depression, respectively, while being in isolation with children. Conclusion Anxiety, depression, irritability, boredom, inattention and fear of COVID-19 are predominant new-onset psychological problems in children during the COVID-19 pandemic. Children with pre-existing behavioral problems like autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder have a high probability of worsening of their behavioral symptoms.

Aging Society

Recent proposals for educational reform call for major changes in public education that, if implemented, will presage basic shifts in career patterns for teachers in the elementary and secondary schools of the United States. These changes, coupled with demographic trends now evident in the United States, suggest that public schools in the future will be staffed by teachers who are, on the average, older and more experienced. Reform statements often fail to recognize the symbiotic relationships of schools to the society they serve. As the population ages and becomes more pluralistic the developmental needs of teachers will change. Teaching is a unique skill that demands enthusiasm and vitality for its success. The continuing competence of those who stay in teaching beyond midcareer will depend less on personal characteristics of aging and more on the supportive nature of the context in which teaching takes place. The aging society will introduce many social issues not encountered before in schools or in other institutions. Teaching has, in the past, been predominantly a career for women, and it will likely remain so for the foreseeable future. Ways of maintaining generativity throughout a teaching career will need to become a part of professional expectations. Recent studies of career development, work, and aging provide some clues of expectation for the teaching profession.

Problem Data

Objective: To study the association between physical and psychological problems perceived by parents and the IQ of their children. Methods: We studied 981 children in the child development center at Ahmednagar. Median age at followup was 7.8y (Q25=5.6y and Q75=10.4y, Babies underwent IQ evaluation by Binet Kamat scale (n=981); also their physical and psychological problems perceived by parents were documented. We categorized children into 4 categories using a number of problems (physical and psychological separately) viz 1 (no problem), 2 (1 problem), 3 (2 problems), 4 (>2 problems). When we looked at physical problem data, 555 (56.6%) had no problem, 251 (25.6%) had 1, 117 (11.9%) had 2, and the remaining 58 (5.9%) had more than 2. For psychological problems like not interested in studies, speech problems don't remember, don't understand, cannot concentrate, fears, etc. The distribution was 221 (22.5%), 212 (21.6%), 222 (22.6%) and 326 (33.3%) respectively. Result: The increasing trend of mean IQ for physical problem parameters from nil to >2 categories and decreasing prevalence of low IQ using the Binet Kamat scale were not significant. However, for psychological problems, the decreasing and statistically significant trend (p=0.000) was present for mean IQ, and a significant increasing trend (p=0.029) for the prevalence of low IQ was observed. Conclusion: Psychological problems were associated with IQ. Numbers of problems were inversely correlated with IQ. Keywords: Parental Perception; Low IQ; Behavioral Problems; Physical Problems.

In a non-clinical group of 130 children (65 boys and 65 girls), we evaluated the relationships between psychological problems using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) reported by parents, the Inattention Overactivity With Aggression (IOWA) scale reported by teachers, individual factors (Intellectual quotient [IQ], temperament and heart rate) and environmental factors (stress events, mother's profession and being or not being an only child). We found no differences between the sexes in the prevalence of total psychological problems in the clinical range, but girls had significantly more borderline total problems than boys. Girls tended to have more externalizing problems than boys. In boys, there were more links between individual and environmental factors and psychological problems, especially externalizing problems. A high score in psychological problems assessed by the CBCL affected the school performance of boys and the social performance of girls. For boys, IQ was significantly lower when the score for total behavioral problems was higher, and for girls IQ was significantly lower when the score for externalizing problems was higher. Understanding the different levels of vulnerability of the sexes at different periods of development may help to improve the treatment children in this age group receive.

The particular relation that professionalism bears to individualism and to the subjective illusion deserves to be noted. Their special competence empowers professionals and experts to act in situations where laymen feel incompetent or baffled. In fact, the assumption by the public that the expert is competent creates a sort of pragmatic compulsion for the expert: to certify his worth in the eyes of the laity, he must act. Deferentially requested to intervene by his clients, the expert practitioner is compelled to do something; from this point of view, anything is better than nothing. As Freidson remarks: "Indeed, so impressed is he by the perplexity of his clients and by his apparent capacity to deal with those perplexities, that the practitioner comes to consider himself an expert not only in the problems he is trained to deal with but in all human problems." Most particularly in the personal professions, the behavior of the expert asserts, ideologically, that a variety of ills—and, in particular, those that can most affect the person—have individual remedies. This reinforces the optimistic illusion of ideological individualism: personal problems of all kinds are purely private and admit, as such, individual and ad hoc solutions. In the predominant ideological way of addressing social issues and social relations experienced by individuals, therefore, structural causes, as well as collective action upon those causes, are relegated to a vaguely utopian realm. At the same time, the practitioner's "compulsion to act" reiterates to the layman that education confers superior powers upon the individual and superior mastery over physical and social environments.

Adolescence is characterized by conicts of values, emotional stress and readiness to extreme attitudes, which invariably leads to several psychosocial problems of adolescents. During adolescence, the frequency and severity of violent interactions increase. Worldwide, the prevalence of clinically signicant psychiatric disorder in children is at least 7%. This rate rises in socially disadvantaged and densely populated urban areas. It also increases by 3%-4% after puberty. Substance abuse is a common trigger of behavioral problems and often requires specic therapy. Behavioral problems may be the rst sign of depression or other mental health disorders. With this background this study is conducted to nd out different behavioral and psychological problems of underprivileged adolescents studying in a school of Kolkata and their background information as well. This observational & descriptive epidemiological study was cross-sectional in design, was conducted from December 2019 to February, 2020. The School has at present 500 students from class Ι to X. In each class there are 50 students. The school has provisional afliation from ICSE Board. 20 students were selected from each class by Stratied Random Sampling method by using random number table from the list of the students of class VI to X. A predesigned, pretested, self-administered questionnaire was used for data collection. The questionnaire was translated to two local languages i.e. Bengali & Hindi. Most common behavioral problems were lying (88%), phobia (86%). Anxiety (80%), followed by cruelty and destruction (44%), school failures (36%), depression (28%), stealing (20%), masturbation (10%), addiction (8%).

To learn about behavior therapy, undergraduate students in abnormal psychology treated self-selected personal problems, with the aid of course lectures, homework, and texts. Target behavioral problems were usually alleviated, but success did not depend on whether recommended treatment methods were used. Self-ratings of project success were related to objective measures of improvement; but they were also related to factors associated with positive expectations and to social, instructional, and help-seeking variables. Our pedagogical procedures produced placebo-like effects similar to those seen in therapeutic settings.
