A Psychometric Evaluation of the Parenting Anxious Kids Rating Scale (PAKRS-PR) in a Sample of Families with Clinically Anxious Children
Reductions in Anxiety are Associated with Decreased Expressive Suppression and Increased Cognitive Reappraisal After Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment
Combining Pharmacotherapy and Psychological Treatments for Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
It is well established that pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) are effective monotherapies for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). This chapter examines the efficacy of combining the two treatments. First, the chapter covers meta-analytic strategies for studies in which the two treatments were applied simultaneously, compared to monotherapy. Results indicate that combined therapy is superior to medication monotherapy, whereas…
The Oxford Handbook of Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders
Obsessive-compulsive and related disorders include obsessive-compulsive disorder, hoarding disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and excoriation (skin-picking) disorder. This volume reviews the phenomenology and epidemiology of each of the disorders. Next, it reviews how the disorders are maintained, from biological (including genetic and neuroanatomical) and psychological (including information-processing,…

Research Review
BACKGROUND: Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for youth with anxiety and related disorders, with a 59% remission rate at post-treatment. Results of reviews and meta-analyses indicate that treatment gains are maintained across long-term follow-up, at least in terms of symptom improvement. Less is known about relapse, defined as patients who initially achieve remission status but then experience a return of symptoms after…
Psychometric Properties of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (Ders) and Its Short Forms in Adults With Emotional Disorders
Objective: The Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) is a widely-used self-report measure of subjective emotion regulation ability, as defined by a prominent clinically-derived model of emotion regulation (Gratz & Roemer, 2004). Although the DERS is often used in treatment and research settings for adults with emotional (i.e., anxiety, mood, obsessive-compulsive, or trauma-related) disorders, its psychometric properties are not well-cha…
Randomized Pilot of an Anxiety Sensitivity-Based Intervention for Individuals in a Substance Use Day Program
Anxiety sensitivity (AS), or the tendency to appraise physical symptoms as intolerable or dangerous, may maintain the cycle between co-occurring anxiety and substance use disorders. This study examined preliminary efficacy of a brief intervention targeting AS for individuals with heterogeneous substance use disorders. Forty-one patients with high AS entering an addictions day program were randomized to treatment as usual (TAU) or to TAU plus a ni…

The Trichotillomania Scale for Children
The Disgust Scale
In the 4 studies presented (N = 1,939), a converging set of analyses was conducted to evaluate the item adequacy, factor structure, reliability, and validity of the Disgust Scale (DS; J. Haidt, C. McCauley, & P. Rozin, 1994). The results suggest that 7 items (i.e., Items 2, 7, 8, 21, 23, 24, and 25) should be considered for removal from the DS. Secondary to removing the items, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that the DS taps…

Ataques de Nervios and Psychiatric Disorders in Older Puerto Rican Primary Care Patients
The present study aimed to examine the phenomenon of ataques de nervios ( ataques) among a primary care sample of Puerto Ricans age 50 years and older living in the mainland United States. The sample included 303 participants who were asked whether they had ever experienced an ataque and to describe the episode and the situation that provoked it. Participants were administered a Spanish-language version of the Composite International Diagnostic I…
Sex differences in trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder
Meta-analyses of studies yielding sex-specific risk of potentially traumatic events (PTEs) and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) indicated that female participants were more likely than male participants to meet criteria for PTSD, although they were less likely to experience PTEs. Female participants were more likely than male participants to experience sexual assault and child sexual abuse, but less likely to experience accidents, nonsexual a…

The Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI)
This article describes the development and validation of a new measure of trauma-related thoughts and beliefs, the Posttraumatic Cognitions Inventory (PTCI), whose items were derived from clinical observations and current theories of post-trauma psychopathology. The PTCI was administered to 601 volunteers, 392 of whom had experienced a traumatic event and 170 of whom had moderate to severe posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Principal-component…
An Empirical Classification of Motivations for Domestic Violence
National survey research suggests that males and females are equally likely to perpetrate domestic violence, but surveys have not examined the interpersonal context or motivation for domestic violence. The questioning of identified partner assaulters suggests that females use violence for self-defense and escape, whereas males use violence to exercise control, punish, or demand attention. The perception of perpetrator violence, however, appears a…
