Measurement Properties of the Thought Disturbance Scale of the Maysi-2
Studies informing gender-responsive programming in the juvenile justice system reveal high levels of mental health problems amongst girls; however, relatively neglected has been attention to thought disturbances. A major impediment in this regard is that the Thought Disturbance subscale of the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-2 (MAYSI-2), the most widely used screening measure for mental health problems amongst detained youth, was not dee…
Associations Between Traumatic Experiences and Mental Health Risk Profiles in Youth with Justice System Involvement
Research has shown that focusing on patterns across concurrent mental health problems may increase accuracy and treatment efficacy, potentially reducing further justice system involvement. This is critical given that over one-third of girls and two-thirds of boys exhibit significant mental health problems fifteen years after release from detention. The purpose of this study was to identify mental health risk profiles of justice-involved youth. Se…
Race/Ethnicity and Mental Health Concerns Among Justice-Involved Girls
The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument 2 (MAYSI-2) is a widely used mental health screening tool for juveniles entering detention. Racial/ethnic differences have been previously identified, however less attention has been given to such differences among girls. Few studies have examined the relationship between subscale score and risk levels that are used to inform institutional responses. The purpose of this study was to describe racial dif…
Disaggregating the heterogeneity of DSM-5 posttraumatic stress symptoms and disorder among justice-involved adolescents

Trauma Exposure as a “Driver” of Change in Mental Health Problems Among Youth with Multiple Admissions to Juvenile Detention
Although trauma exposure (TE) has been shown to be a robust predictor of youth involvement in the juvenile justice system, evidence regarding the role of TE amongst youth who recidivate has been more mixed. Recidivist youth are a population of particular concern, given evidence of declining mental health and diminished likelihood of returning to an adaptive developmental course. One way in which TE may contribute to these negative outcomes over t…
Callous-Unemotionality in a Sample of Justice-Involved Adolescents
Psychopathology as a Cause or Consequence of Youth Gang Involvement
This chapter presents a developmental psychopathology framework as an integrative approach to understanding the intertwined connections over time among mental health (MH) problems and youth gang involvement. First, the chapter identifies growing cross-sectional and prospective evidence that provides support for the role of internalizing and externalizing MH problems as both precipitants and consequences of gang membership. The chapter then turns …
Moral Injury as a Transdiagnostic Risk Factor for Mental Health Problems in Detained Youth
Youth who become involved in the juvenile justice system are at highly elevated risk for many emotional and behavioral problems. Past research has often focused on trauma exposure as a transdiagnostic risk factor in this population. However, distress resulting from perpetrating or witnessing acts that conflict with one’s deeply held moral beliefs, termed moral injury, may also play a role in predisposing these youth toward negative mental health …
Is ethnic and racial identity a potentiating or protective factor in the association between youth victimization and gang-joining? Distinguishing between exploration and affirmation
Youth gang membership is a significant public health concern linked to violent victimization. However, not all victimized youth join gangs, highlighting the need to study mitigating factors. Ethnic and racial identity (ERI) is a potential factor, but research has shown mixed results. This study used longitudinal self-report data from the Pathways to Desistance project to examine ERI's two facets – exploration and affirmation. Findings revealed th…
Latent Profiles of Responding on the Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument-2 Subscale Scores by Race/Ethnicity among Juvenile Justice-Involved Boys and Girls
The Massachusetts Youth Screening Instrument (MAYSI-2) is one of the most widely utilized screening measures for detecting mental health concerns among youth entering juvenile detention settings. Previous research has demonstrated clear patterns of sex differences in the severity of mental health symptoms among detained boys and girls. However, few studies have examined potential racial or ethnic differences in MAYSI-2 scores, which is a signific…

Emotion Dysregulation and Childhood Trauma
This chapter describes theoretical models and empirical research devoted to understanding the aftermath of childhood trauma exposure and discusses the value of considering posttraumatic stress from an emotion dysregulation perspective. After describing definitional controversies in the field related to both trauma and posttraumatic stress, this chapter summarizes research on the effects of chronic, prolonged, and repeated traumatic experiences in…
Associations Among Trauma Exposure, Callous-Unemotionality, Race or Ethnicity, and Gang Involvement in Justice-Involved Youth
The current study examined the association between trauma exposure and gang involvement and whether these interrelations were explained by callous-unemotionality (CU). In addition, the current study examined whether the associations among these variables differed based on race or ethnicity. A sample of 829 justice-involved youth (74% boys, 45% participants of color) recruited from a detention center completed self-report measures of trauma exposu…
Beyond Trauma Exposure
According to the race-based traumatic stress model, racial discrimination is proposed to comprise a traumatic experience that results in posttraumatic stress symptoms, as well as internalizing and externalizing problems among youth. Accordingly, a significant body of research has emerged that supports the associations among these constructs. However, the majority of these empirical studies have not accounted for the potential role of traditionall…
Introduction to the Special Issue on Moral Injury
This article introduces a special issue of the Journal of Traumatic Stress devoted to new directions in the study of moral injury (MI), defined as transgressive harms and the outcomes of those experiences. Although a significant body of research has emerged devoted to the study of the MI construct, a number of conceptual and empirical challenges have arisen; these are summarized and discussed in the present article. In addition, this article prop…
Trauma exposure, posttraumatic overmodulation and undermodulation, and nonsuicidal self-injury in traumatized justice-involved adolescents
This study highlights the utility of conceptualizing posttraumatic stress disorder as a disorder of emotion regulation characterized by symptoms of overmodulation and undermodulation, and has clinical implications for mental health professionals who interact with youth in the justice system.

Investigating the Association Between Posttraumatic Risky Behavior and Offending in Adolescents Involved in the Juvenile Justice System
The roles of trauma exposure, rejection sensitivity, and callous‐unemotional traits in the aggressive behavior of justice‐involved youth
Research has demonstrated an association between childhood trauma exposure and adolescent aggression. This association may be explained by rejection sensitivity, defined as anger, or anxiety in the anticipation of rejection, which can be a consequence of trauma exposure. Callous-unemotional (CU) traits also are associated with trauma exposure and aggressive behavior; however, research has not yet investigated the interactive roles that rejection …

Sexual and Non-sexual Violence Against Children and Youth
Child maltreatment
"Child maltreatment has enormous costs, both at the individual and the societal level. Today, thanks to increased knowledge and awareness, we are better equipped than ever to prevent the trauma of child abuse and to intervene to help maltreated children. Yet, fundamental questions remain. How and why does normal development go awry in maltreated children? Why are some children more affected than others, and what are the processes that promote or …
Marital quality and gender differences in parent-child interaction
This microanalytic study of family interaction establishes links among marital quality, gender, and parent-child relationships. Dyadic conversational exchanges between 38 mothers and fathers and their 3.5 year-old first-born son or daughter were analyzed. Marital quality was related to gender differences in both parent and child behavior, with less maritally adjusted fathers of daughters showing the most negativity toward their children. Sequenti…
Couple Observational Coding Systems
Studying intimacy in marriage is both practically and theoretically important. Lack of intimacy is one of the most frequent complaints of couples seeking therapy and is central to the personal goals of most people. At the heart of intimacy are the ways in which partners manage the emotionally challenging vulnerability inherent in close relationships. However, marital interaction research has focused almost exclusively on the behaviors that spouse…
Mothers and fathers teaching 3-year-olds
In this study we investigated variations in parental tutoring of children on the basis of Vygotsky's (1978) theorizing and the concept of parental scaffolding of children's learning. Twenty-four couples and their 3-year-old children participated. Mothers and fathers worked separately with the child on three difficult tasks: a block construction task, a matrix classification task, and a story retelling task. Parental interventions were classified …

Assessing the links between interparental conflict and child adjustment
Two hundred seventy-three couples completed the Conflicts and Problem-Solving Scales (CPS), which assess dimensions of interparental conflict that affect children, including frequency, severity, resolution, and efficacy. Factor analyses revealed reliable scales for conflict strategies involving cooperation, avoidance, stalemate, physical aggression, verbal aggression, and child involvement. The CPS correlated with other measures of marital confli…

Posttraumatic Stress as a Mediator of the Relationship Between Trauma and Mental Health Problems Among Juvenile Delinquents
Beyond fear, helplessness, and horror
This study investigated associations among peritraumatic reactions, including the triad of fear, helplessness, and horror specified in Criterion A2 of the DSM-IV-R, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) diagnostic status and symptom severity among a sample of 555 juvenile justice-involved adolescents (188 girls and 367 boys). Results of hierarchical and logistic regression analyses indicated that, with the exception of helplessness, peritrauma…

Investigating the dissociative subtype of posttraumatic stress disorder in a sample of traumatized detained youth
In this study, we tested the validity of a dissociative subtype in a sample of 225 detained adolescents (142 boys, 83 girls) likely meeting full or partial criteria for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Competing theories of dissociation pose controversy regarding dissociation as a taxon versus a continuum, and results of the current study contribute to this debate by providing evidence of distinct group differences between those high and low…
