Behavioural strengths and psychosocial problems in children and adolescents between the ages of 3 and 15 are reported. The survey is based on a household-representative sample of 2,421 parents or guardians providing information on their everyday family-life in summer 2021 by online-questionnaire. 704 of the respondents participated again in the spring of 2022. In result, the behaviour of a quarter of the children and adolescents is described as psychosocially borderline/abnormal over the survey period (SDQ total). About a third of children and adolescents have emotional problems, behavioural problems or problems with their peers (respective SDQ-subscales). The proportion of primary-school children with emotional problems increases from summer 2021 to the following spring. Families in which children with disabilities live are disproportionally more affected. The results are discussed with regard to the SDQ standard values available for Germany, as well as the families' self-reported supportneeds and their planned use of professional support-services. Given the psychosocial burden of children, adolescents and their families presented here, which become apparent well after the closures of day-care centres and schools, or other contact-restricting measures to contain the pandemic, have ended, it remains of interest to observe how their well-being will further develop over time.

The COVID-19-pandemic showed largely negative, but heterogeneous effects on the psychological well-being of children and adolescents.The present study aimed to (1) identify differential trajectories of emotional problems as young people entered the pandemic, (2) compare pre-pandemic trends to changes one year after its onset, and (3) analyze sociodemographic and social predictors of trajectories. 555 children and adolescents, aged 7 - 14 years at T1 (M = 10.53 years, 46.5 % female), were interviewed in three waves of the German family panel pairfam. Latent class growth analysis (LCGA) revealed four distinct trajectories of emotional problems: an increase after the onset of COVID-19 ("Mean increasing"), a decrease ("Mean decreasing"), no change at low level ("Low stable") or at high level ("Chronic high"), each after a stable trajectory before the pandemic.Multinomial logistic regressions showed that females and youth experiencing an increase in financial deprivation were at higher risk of increasing or chronically high level of emotional problems, while sociability proved protective. Migration background and rejection by peers showed mixed effects. The results emphasize the importance of a differential perspective on how the COVID-19-pandemic affected children's and adolescents' well-being. Besides negative consequences for vulnerable groups, also beneficial aspects of the pandemic should be considered.

Case conference in a teamgroup in inpatient psychotherapy with children and adolescents are a tool to focus those aspects of treatment relations that can not (yet) be verbalized but present themselves in actions during the treatment. This paper gives a brief overview on the theory and methodology of case conferences and refers to an ongoing study. The presentation of a case conference leads to giving some general recommendations.

The present study aims to examine effect factors that determine the development of symptomatology in the course of a stationary youth-welfare measure of clients with anorexia nervosa. Therefore, four clients were examined, who showed two different patterns in the development of weight gain - two clients showed a relatively fast initial weight gain and improvement whereas two clients, despite being in treatment for more than twelve month, showed less increase of weight gain. Over the course of one year, quantitative and qualitative data have been collected, and interviews were held with the clients, as well as the pedagogical staff.The analysis of the data using a mixed-methods-design suggests that despite similarities regarding comorbidity and pathology, individualized treatment approaches with a high accuracy of fit must be implemented, to be able to meet the demands of the clients and help them make long-lasting progress. Further, the observed clients showed severe deficits regarding their self-worth/self-efficacy, which should be taken into consideration within concepts of treatment.

The dazzling characteristics of postmodernity in the form of social flexibility, economization and virtualization can be understood as an expression of a cultural configuration that is by no means natural and irreversible, but is particularly media-related. Bulimia seems, more than Anorexia, a prime example of this.With regard to the historicity of symptoms in their various forms and disorders over time, consideration is given to how anorexic and bulimic symptoms position themselves in it. If the development toward postmodernity is to be understood as the pathology of modernity, in the course of the social pervasion of visual media there is a sociocultural turnabout to the fragile self, in which the theoretical polarity of conflict and structure can no longer be displayed.
