RESUMO
The prevention of child maltreatment has become a global health concern because child maltreatment is a violation of children's rights. Across the world, a variety of parenting programs have been developed to address this problem. However, no such parenting program currently exists in Suriname. This pilot study aimed to implement Lobi Mi Pikin (LMP) parenting program in Suriname and to evaluate its effects on corporal punishment (CP) and child behavioral problems. Parents-caregivers (N = 70) of children (ages 3-12 years) with externalizing behavioral problems participated in a protocoled parenting program. The child's behavioral problems and the parenting style of the parent-caregiver were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire and the Parental Behavior Scale, pretreatment and posttreatment. Five-week follow-up measures revealed significant positive effects of LMP on all outcome measures. Follow-up comparisons demonstrated (a) a large reduction of total child difficulties and conduct problems, (b) a moderate reduction of hyperactivity and emotional problems, (c) a moderate to large increase in the self-reported positive behavior of the parent, and (d) a small decrease in the use of CP. This study provides preliminary evidence that LMP may be an effective model of parent training in Suriname. Moreover, it can help guide efforts to reduce the use of CP and encourage positive parenting, thereby preventing child maltreatment. (PsycINFO Database Record

Este estudo introduz a versão em português do PCL-R para ser usado no sistema forense brasileiro. 56 sujeitos que preencheram critérios internacionais para transtorno anti-social da personalidade fo-ram classificados como psicopatas e não psicopatas, sendo 33 correlacionados, neste estudo como transtorno global da personalidade (TG) e 23 como transtorno parcial da personalidade (TP), respec-tivamente. Todos os 56 sujeitos foram analisados através dos dados clínicos, forenses, da Prova de Rorschach e do PCL-R. Um grupo controle de 30 sujeitos que nao cometeram crimes e sem histórico psiquiátrico, foram submetidos aos mesmos instrumentos de avaliação. A identificação do ponto de corte para a condição de psicopatia (TG) foi realizada através do uso concorrente entre ambos os instrumentos e resultou no valor de 23 (IC=21,61 a 24,05). A média foi de 28,63 (IC=26,78 a 30,48). O valor da medida da sensibilidade foi de 84,8 e da confiabilidade de 0,8735 (índice Kappa). O gru-po TG, por suas condições da personalidade, foi considerado como correspondente à condição de psicopatia apresentando menor chance de reabilitação /This study introduces a Portuguese-language version of PCL-R in the Brazilian penitentiary system. In a forensic population sample of 56 male subjects classified as psychopaths and non-psychopaths, 33 correlated to Global Personality Disorder (GPD) and 23 to Partial Personality Disorder (PPD), respec-tively, subtypes of Antisocial Personality Disorder. Subjects were evaluated through psychiatric exa-minations, review of judicial records, Rorschach and PCL-R. A control group of 30 subjects without criminological or psychiatric history was also evaluated with the same instruments. PCL-R validation and identification of cutoff score for Psychopathy (GPD group) was assessed through the concurrent use of the Rorschach. PCL-R cutoff score for the Brazilian population was set at 23. Sensitivity was determined at 84.8 pr cent, and reliability was high (Kappa Index=0.87). GPD individuals were characterized as clearly psychopathic according to PCL-R criteria while PPD individuals can only be considered mildly psychopathic, with better chance of rehabilitation...
