An Investigation of Inhibitory Control as a Mechanism Differentiating Tonic and Phasic Irritability
On the regulation and dysregulation of emotions in child psychopathology
Blader et al.'s (2025) recent annual review article makes an important contribution to the literature on emotion dysregulation in child and adolescent mental health. In addition to synthesizing the current evidence base, the authors put forth a cogent formalized view of emotion regulatory processes and how they go awry. Much has been written on emotion (dys)regulation and psychopathology (for overviews, see Lincoln et al., 2022; Paulus et al., 20…
Lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youths’ disclosure of their sexual orientation and gender identity across contexts
Parent, Teacher, and Youth Reports on Measures of Reactive and Proactive Aggression
Emotion regulation as central to psychopathology across childhood and adolescence
An important goal of clinical/developmental research is to identify factors contributing to the onset and maintenance of psychopathology – particularly factors that could be modified through intervention. Large‐scale, multi‐informant, longitudinal studies provide valuable opportunities for testing such etiological hypotheses, as illustrated by Nobakht et al.'s recent six‐wave cohort study spanning ages 4–14. At a within‐person level, emotion regu…
Training preferences of homelessness assistance service providers
This brief report presents results from a study that evaluated trainings provided by a local Continuum of Care lead agency to homelessness assistance service providers. The study explored types of trainings desired by participants, benefits and drawbacks of existing trainings and how they are offered, and ways in which trainings and the training delivery system could be improved. Data were collected through semistructured focus groups attended by…
Is Irritability a Top Problem in Youth Mental Health Care? A Multi-informant, Multi-method Investigation
Diagnostic classification of irritability and oppositionality in youth
BACKGROUND: Severe irritability has become an important topic in child and adolescent mental health. Based on the available evidence and on public health considerations, WHO classified chronic irritability within oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) in ICD-11, a solution markedly different from DSM-5's (i.e. the new childhood mood diagnosis, disruptive mood dysregulation disorder [DMDD]) and from ICD-10's (i.e. ODD as one of several conduct disord…
Practice with people experiencing homelessness
People experiencing homelessness often present to social service providers with trauma histories. As they seek services, their service providers may be secondarily exposed to their clients’ trauma, thereby impacting the level of care these service providers are able to offer. Unfortunately, little research examines the stress burden carried by homelessness service providers, nor the factors that contribute to their stress burden. The purpose of t…
Modular Psychotherapy Outcomes for Youth With Different Latent Profiles of Irritability and Emotion Dysregulation
Background: Severe irritability is a common, impairing problem among youth referred for mental health services, but evidence to guide care is limited. Treatment research can be advanced by adopting a transdiagnostic perspective, leveraging existing evidence-based treatment (EBT) techniques, and situating irritability within the context of emotion dysregulation. Accordingly, this study examined treatment outcomes for youth with different levels of…
Self-Reported Time in Bed and Sleep Quality in Association with Internalizing and Externalizing Symptoms in School-Age Youth
International education and training for clinical child and adolescent psychology
Psychological problems in youth and adequate mental health service delivery to children, adolescents, and families are critical public health dilemmas around the world. Central to effectively addressing the mental health needs of youth and families is focusing attention on the evaluation and development of specialized training programs in clinical child and adolescent psychology. All countries to more or less degree face challenges, but lower-inc…
Developing a science of clinical utility in diagnostic classification systems
The World Health Organization (WHO) Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse has developed a systematic program of field studies to evaluate and improve the clinical utility of the proposed diagnostic guidelines for mental and behavioral disorders in the Eleventh Revision of the International Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems (ICD-11). The clinical utility of a diagnostic classification is critical to its function as t…
