Child and Adolescent Health in the Context of Planetary Health Due to various physiological, developmental, and behavioral factors, children and adolescents are particularly affected by the health effects of the planetary crises (climate change, pollution, and loss of biodiversity). In particular, climate change affects child health and development through direct (e. g., heat) and indirect effects (e. g., mental health). Against this background, the concept of planetary health is particularly important, since it builds on the concept of nine planetary boundaries that are considered a safe operating space for human existence. Planetary health describes the relationships between human health with the natural, political, economic, and social systems of the earth, which form the basis for human health. As a result, an intact natural environment is a basic requirement for a healthy life for the population of our planet. This review shows how this concept can help to further develop prevention, health promotion and health care in order to ensure adaptation to the changing conditions ("adaptation") and at the same time to weaken climate change ("mitigation"). Applications in the field of teaching, patient training and community health are presented. In the future, climatesensitive health counseling in particular can play a role in the future to support the individual health and that of the planet ("co-benefits").

Regulating the "Inner Climate" in Times of Global Warming "Climate protection is child protection". This statement by the German Psychological Society ("DGPs-Stellungnahme_KiJu_Klima, 2023) vividly illustrates the negative effects of climate change on children's psyches. According to the Sinus-Youth study (Calmbach et al., 2024), climate anxiety ranks second in the hierarchy of adolescent anxieties, immediately following the fear of war. Asbrand, Peter, Calvano, and Dohm (2024) have demonstrated that young people are significantly burdened by climate fears. While there are numerous descriptions of the problem, this article focuses on potential solutions. The present article focusses on two such approaches: START (Stress-Traumasymptoms-Arousal-Regulation-Treatment) (Dixius u. Möhler, 2016) and START-Kids (Stress-Arousal-Regulation-Treatment for Kids) (Dixius u. Möhler, 2023). START is intended for adolescents aged 13 and above, while START-Kids is designed for children between the ages of 6 and 12. The feasibility of these programs has been demonstrated in clinical settings and in several schools (Munz et al., under review). In clinical evaluation studies, emotional strain and stress were found to be significantly reduced. This article provides a brief overview of these new resilience-promoting programs an example of the START-Kids working materials from a handout for families.

Sensory Processing Sensitivity - Significance of the Trait for Diagnostics and Psychotherapy with Children and Adolescents Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) is a temperamental trait that is partly hereditary. It is characterised by a general heightened sensitivity to internal and external stimuli, regardless of whether the stimuli are positive or negative. Consequently, heightened sensitivity can have both beneficial and detrimental effects on mental health and can act as both a protective and a risk factor, depending on the nature of the relevant influences. Highly sensitive people (HSP) with adverse childhood experiences are correspondingly more vulnerable to stress-related symptoms such as burnout, anxiety disorders and depression. In line with the increased responsiveness to supportive stimuli, initial studies show an increased effectiveness in the context of prevention, for example with regard to depression, as well as in relation to psychotherapy in highly sensitive children and adolescents. This indicates both a possibly increased vulnerability to adverse experiences and a potentially higher response to prevention and intervention by highly sensitive individuals. This review article will address this topic and discuss some implications for diagnostics and psychotherapy with children and adolescents.

A 12-year follow-up - Results of a Descriptive Catamnesis Study of Psychoanalytic and Behavioral-Medication Treatments for Children with ADHD According to the guidelines, behavioral therapy with medication (BT/M) is the preferred treatment for children diagnosed with ADHD. With the Frankfurt ADHD Effectiveness Study, a controlled, prospective intervention study without randomization, we are investigating whether psychoanalytic treatment without medication (PSA) for children with a diagnosis of ADHD and/or oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is as effective as the "standard treatment" BT/M and has longer-term effects. The aim is to provide a description of the sample analyzed 12 years after the start of treatment. Of 54 study children with a diagnosis of ADHD and/or ODD who last participated in the 38-month catamnesis (31 PSA, 23 BT/M; 10 female, 44 male; average age 8 years), 19 were reached and examined again at the 12-year catamnesis (10 PSA and 9 BT/M; 6 female, 13 male; average age 19 years). The research diagnostics comprised the questionnaires of the Diagnostic System for Mental Disorders for children and adolescents (DISYPS-III), the questionnaire for adolescents of the Child Behavior Checklist (YSR/ 11-18R) and the questionnaire for the assessment of quality of life in adolescents (ILK). 12 years after baseline, of 19 young adults, only 5 fulfill the diagnostic criteria in the self-report (DISYPS-III, diagnosis ADHD: 0 PSA, 1 BT/M; diagnosis ODD: 1 PSA, 3 BT/M) and 1 of 19 young adults shows external problems (YSR/11-18R: 0 PSA, 1 BT/M). Residual impairments were observed in the internal problems (YSR/11-18R: 2 PSA, 6 BT/M). Despite the small sample size, the descriptive results suggest that young adults who received psychoanalytic treatment without medication in childhood do not perform worse than young adults in the BT/M arm even 12 years after starting treatment.
