- Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy (Nov 29, 2018). DOI:10.1037/tra0000421 Objective: Discussion of sexual abuse by religious authorities has been plagued by allegations of false memories and misreports, often attributed to media attention. An analysis of a historical archive with information on abuse by religious and other authority figures and coexisting psychopathology is extremely useful to the current debate on outcomes of sexual abuse..

- Journal of Family Psychology (Nov 29, 2018). DOI:10.1037/fam0000473 Although there is a consensus that maternal depression is strongly related to child externalizing behaviors, research on the association between paternal depression and child externalizing behaviors is mixed. Some research shows that paternal depressive symptoms are positively associated with symptoms of externalizing behaviors, including oppositional–defiant behavior, conduct problems, and overall externalizing behavior, while other studies failed to find an association, or demonstrated a weak or negative association. Given that the most recent meta-analysis on paternal depression and child externalizing behaviors is outdated, an updated meta-analysis is necessary. .

- Psychiatric Rehabilitation Journal (Nov 29, 2018). DOI:10.1037/prj0000334 Objective: Many combat veterans struggle with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and hazardous alcohol use and are hesitant to engage in behavioral health services. Combining peer support with an eHealth intervention may overcome many barriers to care. This pilot study investigated the feasibility of adding peer support to a web-based cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) targeting PTSD symptoms and hazardous drinking, called Thinking Forward..

- Psychology of Popular Media Culture (Nov 29, 2018). DOI:10.1037/ppm0000217 A theoretical model is proposed to predict the influence of media consumption on social interaction intentions regarding individuals with mental illness. This model of mediated interaction intentions is informed by media priming theory, as well as the reasoned action approach. It incorporates stigma beliefs and prejudicial attitudes to uniquely predict the influence of media exposure on social inclinations..

- Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Vol. 86, Iss. 12, (Dec 2018): 964-979. DOI:10.1037/ccp0000308 Objective: Working memory deficits have been linked experimentally and developmentally with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)-related symptoms/impairments. Unfortunately, substantial evidence indicates that extant working memory training programs fail to improve these symptoms/impairments. We hypothesized that this discrepancy may reflect insufficient targeting, such that extant protocols do not adequately engage the specific working memory components linked with the disorder’s behavioral/functional impairments.
- Interpretation training to target repetitive negative thinking in generalized anxiety disorder and depression Hirsch, Colette R; Krahé, Charlotte; Whyte, Jessica; Loizou, Sofia; Bridge, Livia; et al. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Vol. 86, Iss. 12, (Dec 2018): 1017-1030. DOI:10.1037/ccp0000310 Full text Objective: Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) for example, worry in generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and rumination in depression, is often targeted during psychological treatments. To test the hypothesis that negative interpretation bias contributes to worry and rumination, we assessed the effects of inducing more positive interpretations in reducing RNT..

- Conclusions: iCBT can be clinically effective in routine care. Since depression and anxiety are costly and debilitating disorders that are vastly undertreated, this finding is important. Additionally, iCBT may help bridge the gap between the need for treatment and its provision
- Crisis: The Journal of Crisis Intervention and Suicide Prevention (Nov 26, 2018). DOI:10.1027/0227-5910/a000561 Background: Suicide has been considered an important public health issue for years and is one of the main causes of death worldwide. Despite prevention strategies being applied, the rate of suicide has not changed substantially over the past decades. Suicide risk has proven extremely difficult to assess for medical specialists, and traditional methodologies deployed have been ineffective. Advances in machine learning make it possible to attempt to predict suicide with the analysis of relevant data aiming to inform clinical practice. Aims: We aimed to (a) test our artificial intelligence based, referral-centric methodology in the context of the National Health Service (NHS), (b) determine whether statistically relevant results can be derived from data related to previous suicides, and (c) develop ideas for various exploitation strategies..

- Psychological Assessment (Dec 6, 2018). DOI:10.1037/pas0000666 Clinical reports suggest that interpersonal problems are associated with the onset and maintenance of eating pathology, but existing measures of such problems have limited links to eating pathology. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop an eating-specific measure of interpersonal problems. The new measure, the Interpersonal Relationships in Eating Disorders scale (IR-ED), was administered to a large community sample, a nonclinical replication sample, and a clinical group of eating disorder patients.

- International Journal of Play Therapy Vol. 28, Iss. 1, (Jan 2019): 44-56. DOI:10.1037/pla0000081 Head Start teachers and their aides (n = 23) were randomly assigned to either the experimental or active control group in this exploratory study of the effectiveness of child–teacher relationship training (CTRT) on 20 economically disadvantaged children exhibiting disruptive behavior. CTRT is based on the principles and procedures of child–parent relationship training (CPRT), a 10-session play based model, which uses parents and caregivers as therapeutic agents of change..

- Personality Disorders: Theory, Research, and Treatment (Dec 6, 2018). DOI:10.1037/per0000316 Extant research has supported a connection between socialization in childhood and difficulties regulating emotions. The biosocial theory of borderline personality disorder (BPD; Crowell, Beauchaine, & Linehan, 2009; Linehan, 1993) suggests that emotion dysregulation is a core mechanism underlying the extreme behaviors, mood instability, identity disturbance, and relationship instability observed in BPD. The present study investigated the impact of socialization factors related to emotions, parental autonomy support, parental psychological control, and childhood trauma on BPD features in a nonclinical young adult sample (N = 357)..

- International Journal of Play Therapy Vol. 28, Iss. 1, (Jan 2019): 13-21. DOI:10.1037/pla0000082 Because of the recent trend toward evidence-based practices, practitioners have been called to provide evidentiary support for the play-therapy modalities they have used. Although Adlerian play therapy is one of the most widely used approaches (Lambert et al., 2007) and is one of the few EBPs for play therapy (SAMSHA, 2016), it would add further credibility to the model if interrater reliability/agreement in assessing fidelity were established. In this study, we used qualitative video-content analysis of 27 individual play-therapy sessions to establish interrater reliability of using the Adlerian Play Therapy Skills Checklist (Kottman, 2009; Kottman & Meany-Walen, 2016). Results indicated acceptable interrater reliability across the four phases of Adlerian play therapy, ranging from r = .78 to r = .89. Implications for counselor education and clinical practice, limitations, and suggestions for future research are presented.

- Comment. Many smokers and health-care providers believe that smoking can reduce stress and other symptoms related to poor mental health. In The Lancet Psychiatry, Jentien Vermeulen and colleagues 1 examined the self-medication hypothesis in a prospective cohort study of patients with a non-affective psychosis (n=1094), unaffected siblings (n=1047), and control participants (n=579)..

- The self-medication hypothesis postulates that the high prevalence of smoking in patients with psychosis can be explained by the ameliorating effect of smoking on symptoms. However, there are few large prospective studies testing this hypothesis. We aimed to examine the multi-cross-sectional and prospective associations of changes in smoking behaviour with symptoms and quality of life..

- Cannabis is one of the most widely used drugs worldwide. Cannabis use disorder is characterised by recurrent use of cannabis that causes significant clinical and functional impairment. There are no approved pharmacological treatments for cannabis use disorder. One approach is to potentiate endocannabinoid signalling by inhibiting fatty acid amide hydrolase (FAAH), the enzyme that degrades the endocannabinoid anandamide. We aimed to test the efficacy and safety of the FAAH-inhibitor PF-04457845 in reduction of cannabis withdrawal and cannabis use in men who were daily cannabis users..

- Comment. The UK Prime Minister, Theresa May, caused some surprise when she announced, in 2017, an Independent Review of the Mental Health Act for England and Wales (MHA review). Unlike the previous review, which led to the 2007 Act, this new initiative was not driven by concerns around public safety. Instead, the aims were to address the rapid rise in detentions, particularly among people from black ethnic groups; to achieve an improved alignment with recent developments in human rights; and to clarify the complex interface between the MHA and the Mental Capacity Act (2005), which provides an additional legal framework for making decisions on behalf of people who do not have the capacity to make decisions for themselves..
