Abnormalities of cognitive style in bipolar disorder are of both clinical and theoretical importance. The aim was to compare cognitive style in people with affective disorders and in healthy controls. Self-rated questionnaires were administered to 118 individuals with bipolar I disorder, 265 with unipolar major recurrent depression and 268 healthy controls. Those with affective disorder were also interviewed using the Schedules for Clinical Assessment in Neuropsychiatry and case notes were reviewed. Those with bipolar disorder and those with unipolar depression demonstrated different patterns of cognitive style from controls; negative self-esteem best discriminated between those with affective disorders and controls; measures of cognitive style were substantially affected by current levels of depressive symptomatology; patterns of cognitive style were similar in bipolar and unipolar disorder when current mental state was taken into account. Those with affective disorder significantly differed from controls on measures of cognitive style but there were no differences between unipolar and bipolar disorders when current mental state was taken into account.

This framework provides an evidence-informed tool for developing coordinated, multi-agency local responses to children and young people’s harmful sexual behaviour. The framework promotes five domains (areas of focus) that cover the essential elements of developing and delivering an integrated and effective HSB service for children, young people and their families. These five key domains are closely interrelated and they comprise: a continuum of responses to children and young people displaying HSB; prevention, identification and early intervention; effective assessment and referral pathways; multi-modal approach to intervention; and workforce development. Each domain includes: a summary of the latest evidence to back up practice and local decision making and the key issues being faced; an audit tool to help local areas assess the current state of their HSB offer and service responses; and the key principles to consider when focusing on delivery, with practical examples.

Mr O ended his own life by hanging himself in July 2010 at the age of 22. NHS Board A had already conducted an internal review of his contact with services in the year prior to his death. Mr O had presented with problems of short-lived psychotic symptoms secondary to harmful use of drugs and alcohol. There was no evidence of major ongoing mental illness. This was set against a background of long-standing emotional and behavioural problems. This investigation looks at his contact with services in the year before his death. The aim was to investigate whether the actions of any individual or organisation contributed to his death and identify wider learning for health and social care services. It concludes that any service would find Mr O’s presentation a challenge to manage because it was difficult to engage him. General learning points are drawn from this review which would be likely to improve service responses for people with similar problems to Mr O.
