  • Parenting Interventions for Child Mental Health

    Open AccessAdrienne Turnell, David J Hawes et al.ARTICLEClinical Child and Family…2026

    Evidence-based parenting interventions (EBPIs) are among the most powerful interventions in child mental health, but they are often impacted by non-response and drop-out. Extensive research has demonstrated that measurement-based care (MBC), which involves routine collection of client-reported measures to track intervention progress and inform shared decision-making, is associated with improved outcomes in adult mental health populations, includi…

  • An online, father‐inclusive parenting intervention for reducing child conduct problems

    Open AccessLucy Tully, Lucy A Tully et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2025

    BACKGROUND: Parenting interventions are effective for improving child conduct problems (CPs), but online self-directed interventions are required to improve reach and impact. Mothers are the main users of such programmes; fathers show low participation rates despite evidence of increased efficacy when they participate. METHODS: This randomised controlled trial examined the efficacy of Family Man, a brief, self-directed online parenting interventi…

  • When Is the Still‐Face Not the Still‐Face

    Open AccessShriya Mathur, Frances L Doyle et al.ARTICLEInfancy2025

    The Face‐to‐Face Still‐Face (FF‐SF) procedure has been a popular paradigm to understand infant behavior. The current study examines the validity of mothers' behavior during the Still‐Face phase of the FF‐SF, especially the quality of her neutral face and its impact on infant arousal ( N = 358 ethnically‐diverse mother–infant dyads, Mean infant age = 223 days, SD = 27 days). Results showed that more than half of the mothers in the sample breached …

  • Parent–Child Interactions in Context

    Open AccessChloë A McGrath, Maree J Abbott et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2025

    We investigated the context role of family factors in obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) by comparing observed parent-child interaction behaviors of OCD and non-clinical families during three parent-child discussion tasks. We examined whether behaviors differentiating groups would be consistent across all discussions, or present only during specific tasks. We also investigated the effect of family-based cognitive behavior therapy on parent-child…

  • Do Parents Find it Helpful to Receive A Diagnosis of Oppositional Defiant Disorder for their Child

    Open AccessLucy Tully, Alex Roach et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2025

  • Commentary

    Open AccessDavid J HawesARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including child maltreatment and interparental aggression, are known to have far‐reaching consequences for mental health across the lifespan. Emerging evidence, such as that reported by Nobakht et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023), indicates that child conduct problems (e.g. oppositional defiant disorder, conduct disorder) may not only result from adversity but also contribute to it throu…

  • Ten recommendations for reducing the long‐term costs of conduct problems

    Open AccessDavid J HawesARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    The economic analysis of Goulter et al. (2023) identifies the long‐term financial costs arising from conduct problems in the kindergarten period, including those associated with later criminal activity, lost offender productivity, victim costs and government and medical services. These costs are substantial and provide policymakers with a compelling argument for investing in early intervention and prevention of conduct problems. The ultimate goal…

  • Practitioner Review

    Open AccessJessica M Barker, David J HawesARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2024

    BACKGROUND: The effective treatment of child conduct problems is understood to rely on a range of therapist competencies, yet these have rarely been an explicit focus of research. In this practitioner review, we examine core competencies for the delivery of evidence-based parenting interventions for conduct problems in early-to-middle childhood. These are examined in light of research into the common elements shared by these interventions, litera…

  • Youth Mental Health Diversion at Court

    Open AccessClaire Gaskin, Sara Singh et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2024

    In a cohort of young people referred to an Australian mental health court diversion service over a 7-year period, 46.5% of those deemed eligible ( n = 523) were granted diversion and the following were identified as barriers to being granted diversion: identifying as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, having substance use problems, prior offending, and no record of prior diversion. Young people granted diversion were significantly less lik…

  • Practitioners’ Use and Acceptability of Time-Out

  • Facial reactions to emotional films in young children with conduct problems and varying levels of callous‐unemotional traits

    Open AccessEva R Kimonis, Brandon Le et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    BACKGROUND: Elevated levels of callous-unemotional (CU) traits have proven useful for identifying a distinct subgroup of children whose conduct problems (CP) are early emerging, severe, persistent, and underpinned by aberrant emotional processing. The early childhood emotional experiences and expressions of CP subtypes are poorly understood, despite their importance to understanding the problematic attachments and atypical social affiliation expe…

  • Commentary

    Open AccessDavid J HawesARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2023

    Obando, Wright and Hill's ( Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry , 2022) study of young children exposed to community violence in Colombia is a most welcome addition to the literature on risk and protective pathways related to callous and unemotional (CU) traits. The key contributions of this study can be viewed in light of calls for a new wave of global research into resilience in children and youth. These contributions also highlight the …

  • The development of moral shame indicates the emergence of moral identity in middle-childhood

    Jess M Kingsford, David J Hawes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Moral Education2022

    The question of when moral identity first develops in childhood deserves more considered investigation. In this article, we examine the claim that moral identity first emerges in middle-childhood (8–12 years). An approach is taken here whereby a tendency to attribute moral shame under conditions entailing moral identity failure is considered as indicating the presence of an emerging moral identity. Differences in the emotion attributions (i.e., a…

  • Higher Order Language

    Open AccessStavroola A S Anderson, David J Hawes et al.ARTICLECrime & Delinquency2022

    Research has implicated oral language deficits as risk factors for antisocial behavior. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between higher order language skills and youth offending through a risk, promotive and risk-based protective factor paradigm. In a sample of adolescent males ( n = 130; 13 to 20 years; 62% youth offenders) skills in understanding ambiguity, making inferences, and understanding figurative language were d…

  • Still connecting the dots

    Open AccessSinia Sareen, Frances L Doyle et al.ARTICLEInfancy2022

    An attentional bias toward threat has been theorized to be a normative aspect of infants' threat and safety learning, and an indicator of risk for internalizing psychopathology in older populations. To date, only four studies have examined this bias using the dot‐probe task in infancy and the findings are mixed. We extended the literature by examining patterns of attention to threat in a culturally and linguistically diverse sample of infants age…

  • Towards Preventative Psychiatry

    Open AccessFrances L Doyle, Sophie J Dickson et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2022

    Maternal-infant bonding is important for children's positive development. Poor maternal-infant bonding is a risk factor for negative mother and infant outcomes. Although researchers have examined individual predictors of maternal-infant bonding, studies typically do not examine several concurrent and longitudinal predictors within the same model. This study aimed to evaluate the unique and combined predictive power of cross-sectional and longitud…

  • Practitioner Review

    Open AccessDavid J Hawes, Mark R DaddsARTICLEJournal of Child Psychology and…2021

    Parenting interventions based on social learning theory have received extensive empirical support in the treatment of child conduct problems; yet, they fail to produce lasting gains in as many as a third of cases. Perspectives on these poor outcomes have been informed by numerous lines of research, and practitioner recommendations for improving such outcomes have often emphasized processes related to clinical engagement. In this Practitioner Revi…

  • Global Workforce Development in Father Engagement Competencies for Family-Based Interventions Using an Online Training Program

    Open AccessVilas Sawrikar, Alexandra L Plant et al.ARTICLEChild Psychiatry & Human…2021

    Global access to practitioner training in the clinical engagement of fathers in family-based interventions is limited. The current study evaluated the feasibility of training practitioners in Canada and UK using online training developed in Australia by examining improvements in practitioner confidence and competence in father engagement, training satisfaction, qualitative feedback, and benchmarking results to those from an Australian sample. Pra…

  • The Influence of Antisocial Behavior and Callous-Unemotional Traits on Trajectories of School Engagement and Achievement in South-Korean Children

    Open AccessSuhlim Hwang, Rebecca Waller et al.ARTICLEJournal of Youth and Adolescence2021Citada por: 2Referências: 51

    Poor educational outcomes are common among children with antisocial behavior problems, including among a subgroup of antisocial children with callous-unemotional traits, who show deficits in empathy, guilt, and prosociality. However, few studies have explored the unique contributions of antisocial behavior and callous-unemotional traits to school outcomes and most prior studies have been conducted in Western countries. The current study thus test…

  • Capturing the developmental timing of adverse childhood experiences

    David J Hawes, Meryn Lechowicz et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2021Citada por: 2

    Adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) have been associated with a range of physical and mental health problems, and it is now understood that the developmental timing of ACEs may be critically important. Despite this, there is a distinct lack of methods for the efficient assessment of such timing in research and clinical settings. We report on the development and validation of a new measure, the Adverse Life Experiences Scale (ALES), that indexes …

  • Mapping the Specific Pathways to Early-Onset Mental Health Disorders

    Open AccessFrances L Doyle, Antonio Mendoza Diaz et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2020

    This study will be the first to test a clear developmental map of both the unique and specific causes of childhood psychopathology and will identify more precise early intervention targets for children with complex comorbid conditions

  • Callous-Unemotional Traits Among Children and Adolescents in Asian Cultures

    Open AccessKhai Imm Sng, David J Hawes et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2020

    Considerable evidence now exists for callous and unemotional (CU) traits as markers for a high-risk pathway to child and adolescent conduct problems implicating unique risk processes and treatment needs, but research has been limited largely to Western countries. We review the evidence base related to CU traits in Asian countries that has emerged in recent years, with respect to four key questions. Specifically, are higher CU traits among Asian c…
