The winner of the iPad 2 raffle is Mr T. Dixon of Edinburgh. Hogrefe Ltd would like thank Mr Dixon and all of the other volunteers who completed the test as the data collection has greatly helped our research. We appreciate the time, effort and feedback provided by the volunteers.

Hogrefe are pleased to announce the distribution of the Parenting Stress Index™, Fourth Edition (PSI™-4) by Richard R. Abidin, EdD. Designed to evaluate the level and impact of stress in the parent-child relationship, the PSI™-4 focuses on three major domains of the stressor source: child characteristics, parent characteristics, and situational life stress.

The PSI™-4 has been updated with the following:

• Improved psychometric characteristics of individual items and updated item wording to more clearly tap into the target construct or behavioural pattern. The original structure has been retained.
• Analysis of validation studies conducted within a variety of foreign populations, including Chinese, Portuguese, French Canadian, Finnish and Dutch, indicate that the PSI is a robust measure that maintains its validity with diverse non-English speaking cultures.
• Expanded norms are organised by each year of child age. Percentiles—the primary interpretive framework for the PSI™-4—and T-scores are also provided.

We will soon be stocking the second edition of the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2).
