La generación ansiosa

En año 2024 el popular psicólogo social (que no clínico) Jonathan Haid publicó un betseller que recibió críticas enormemente positivas: “La generación ansiosa”.

Pero ni todos los datos, ni todos los investigadores sobre el tema estan de acuerdo con él… <leer post>

Report of a Work Group on Sluggish Cognitive Tempo: The origin of Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome (CDS)

Origen: Report of a Work Group on Sluggish Cognitive Tempo: Key Research Directions and a Consensus Change in Terminology to Cognitive Disengagement Syndrome – Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry

Objective

The aim of this work was 2-fold: (1) to evaluate current knowledge and identify key directions in the study of sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT); and (2) to arrive at a consensus change in terminology for the construct that reflects the current science and may be more acceptable to researchers, clinicians, caregivers, and patients.

Conclusion

It is evident that CDS (SCT) has reached the threshold of recognition as a distinct syndrome. Much work remains to further clarify its nature (eg, transdiagnostic factor, separate disorder, diagnostic specifier), etiologies, demographic factors, relations to other psychopathologies, and linkages to specific domains of functional impairment. Investigators are needed with interests and expertise spanning basic, clinical, and translational research to advance our understanding and to improve the lives of individuals with this unique syndrome
