Cross‐sectional and prospective relations between dysfunctional cognitive beliefs and obsessive‐compulsive symptoms during late childhood and early adolescence
BACKGROUND: Obsessive-compulsive symptoms (OCS) often emerge during childhood and adolescence, and two aetiological models have been proposed. According to the first model, maladaptive cognitive beliefs facilitate the transformation of transient intrusive thoughts into OCS. The second model suggests that dysfunctional cognitive beliefs develop in response to increased levels of OCS. Few studies have contrasted these models, and no study has used …
Prevention of Obsessive–Compulsive Disorder in At-Risk Children
Preventing obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) before it emerges has long been considered a central, yet elusive, goal for researchers. Achieving this will likely require identifying individuals at elevated risk and intervening during critical developmental periods before the onset of impairing symptoms. This trial evaluated the feasibility of a brief parent-guided online targeted prevention program for children at-risk of developing OCD. We enro…
Psychological risk and protective factors of immunity
Establishing the Cross‐Cultural Validity of the Immune Status Questionnaire Using Rasch Analysis
Reliable assessment of self‐reported immune function is essential for identifying at‐risk populations, monitoring public health interventions and informing global health strategies. Yet, current instruments are imprecise and lack cross‐cultural validity. This study aimed to assess the cross‐cultural validity of the 7‐item Immune Status Questionnaire (ISQ). The Partial Credit Rasch model was applied to analyse responses to the ISQ ( N = 1250) from…
Who seeks treatment for gaming? Characteristics of young and adult patients seeking treatment for gaming disorder
These findings suggest that impaired everyday functioning is a defining clinical feature of this group. Treatment should not only address gaming behavior but also support patients in improving functioning across important areas of life, such as school, work, and relationships
Stepped Care Versus Stratified Care for Youth with Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are common in children and adolescents, but access to evidence-based treatment is limited. Most clinical guidelines recommend stratified care, where less complex patients are offered low intensity interventions and complex patients more intensive options. Stepped care, where all patients initially receive low-intensity treatment, has gained traction due to its potential cost-effectiveness. Research on care models for youth with …
Efficacy and acceptability of cognitive‐behavioral therapy and serotonin reuptake inhibitors for pediatric obsessive‐compulsive disorder
BACKGROUND: Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SRIs) are recommended treatments for pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), but their relative efficacy and acceptability have not been comprehensively examined. Further, it remains unclear whether the efficacy of in-person CBT is conserved when delivered in other formats, such as over telephone/webcam or as Internet-delivered CBT (ICBT). METHODS: PubMed, Ps…
Development and Psychometric Properties of the Pain and Sensitivity Reactivity Scale in a Diverse Sample of Autistic People
PSRS shows promise as a reliable measure to analyze pain and sensory reactivity in autistic people regardless of whether they have ID or not. The measure overcomes several limitations of previous assessment tools and includes variables that are important for the understanding of the gut microbiota-brain axis in ASD
Emotion dysregulation and psychological inflexibility in adolescents
In Search of Conceptual Clarity About the Structure of Psychopathic Traits in Children
Psychopathic traits in childhood have been revealed as potential identifiers of risk, being predictive of later forms of behavioral maladjustment. Yet, it is still under debate how psychopathic traits in children should be best conceptualized and which are the core dimensions for construct definition and prediction. The present study aims to examine the structure of psychopathic traits in childhood, and its predictive value, by using a combinatio…

Body-dysmorphic, hoarding, hair-pulling, and skin-picking symptoms in a large sample of adolescents
Few studies have investigated body-dysmorphic, hoarding, hair-pulling, and skin-picking symptoms in adolescents and how they relate to mental health, quality of life, suicide attempts, and non-suicidal self-harm. We used a quota sampling procedure and contacted 100 secondary centres in the Southeast of Spain, of which 34 participated in the study. A sample of 5,345 adolescents (12–18 years) completed dimensional measures of body-dysmorphic, hoard…
Relationship between Cognitive Strategies of Emotion Regulation and Dimensions of Obsessive–Compulsive Symptomatology in Adolescents
Cognitive emotion regulation refers to the management of one's emotions through cognitive strategies. Studies have found that individuals with obsessive-compulsive symptoms utilize emotion regulation strategies differently compared to those without these symptoms. This study aims to investigate the relationship between cognitive strategies for emotion regulation and specific dimensions of obsessive-compulsive symptoms in adolescents. A cross-sect…
Mindfulness and cognitive emotion regulation in pediatric misophonia
Measuring symptoms of obsessive-compulsive and related disorders using a single dimensional self-report scale
The expanded OCRD-D (OCRD-D-E) shows promise as a unified way to assess symptoms across the major symptom dimensions of OCD and related disorders. The measure may be useful in clinical practice (e.g., screening) and research, but more research on construct validity, incremental validity, and clinical utility is needed
Technology‐delivered cognitive‐behavioral therapy for pediatric anxiety disorders
Background The efficacy of technology‐delivered cognitive‐behavioral therapy (tCBT) for pediatric anxiety disorders (ADs) is uncertain as no meta‐analysis has examined outcomes in trials that used structured diagnostic assessments at pre‐ and posttreatment. Methods We carried out a systematic review and meta‐analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of tCBT for pediatric ADs that included participants <18 years of age with a confirmed prima…
The relation between peritraumatic dissociation and coping strategies
PD and CS were related in adults and contributed independently to later PTS. Future research should evaluate longitudinally the interactions between specific types of PD and CS. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, all rights reserved)
Symptom Dimension Breakpoints for the Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV)
Pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) clusters around three major symptom dimensions: contamination/cleaning, symmetry/ordering, and disturbing thoughts/checking. The Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Child Version (OCI-CV) is a self-report questionnaire that provides scores along six theory-based OCD dimensions, but no study has evaluated how well OCI-CV identifies clinically significant symptoms within each of the three major symptom dimen…
Posttraumatic Symptoms in 3–7 Year Old Trauma-Exposed Children
Few studies have examined how PTSD symptoms in young children are associated with other mental health symptoms and mood and functioning in caregivers. This is an important gap in the literature as such knowledge may be important for assessment and treatment. This study used network analysis to identify how the major symptom domains of PTSD in young trauma-exposed children were related to impairment, internalizing and externalizing symptoms, careg…
