Study protocol for a comparative effectiveness randomized controlled trial comparing the emotion awareness and skills enhancement program to the unified protocol in autistic youth and young adults wit…
Many autistic people seek therapy for mental health concerns or to improve emotional wellbeing. Unfortunately, there is limited guidance for providers on the most effective approach to improve mental health for autistic people. Therapies that target emotion dysregulation may be clinically effective and parsimonious. However, it remains unclear if emotion dysregulation interventions that were not developed for autism are effective or if interventi…
Roadblocks to independence
Self-determination may be a key mechanistic variable for promoting daily living skills in autistic youth, which could have implications for transition-focused supports
Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial of Regulating Together (RT), a group therapy for emotion dysregulation in school-age autistic youth and their caregivers
Trial registration took place through ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT05803369) on March 14th, 2023
Leveraging Data Science to Advance Implementation Science
Data science (DS) is the formalized discipline of managing the full lifecycle of data across areas of scientific inquiry. Although the field of DS has existed for almost 50 years, the evolution of the tools, frameworks, and processing power needed to provide meaningful advancements have only recently come to fruition. DS has been integrated into multiple industries and disciplines to optimize outcomes, increase efficiency, and maximize human and …

Providers as Stakeholders in Addressing Implementation Barriers to Youth Mental Healthcare
All the ACEs
This article will consider Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) as a chaotic concept that prioritises risk and obscures the material and social conditions of the lives of its objects. It will show how the various definitions of ACEs offer no cohesive body of definitive evidence and measurement, and lead to a great deal of over-claiming. It discusses how ACEs have found their time and place, locating a variety of social ills within the child’s hom…

Child protection and disorganized attachment
The concept of ‘disorganized attachment’ has been influential in child protection practice, often taken as a marker of abusive parenting and purportedly linked to a wide range of deleterious outcomes for children. However, there is considerable controversy about the origins and meanings of the classification. This paper examines the assertions and controversies within the primary science, and poses fundamental questions about the robustness, legi…
Protecting Children
The state is increasingly experienced as both intrusive and neglectful, particularly by those living in poverty, leading to loss of trust and widespread feelings of alienation and disconnection. Against this tense background, this innovative book argues that child protection policies and practices have become part of the problem, rather than ensuring children's well-being and safety. Building on the ideas in the best-selling Re-imagining Child Pr…

Title IX sexual violence reporting requirements
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine how university employees' and students' understandings of Title IX may affect both students' disclosure of victimization and perpetration and employees' reporting to Title IX coordinators. Design/methodology/approach Study 1 surveyed 114 university employees about their knowledge of Title IX and what it requires of them. Study 2 surveyed 845 students to determine their knowledge of and opinions abou…
Reclaiming Humanity
This paper explores how the Capability Approach (CA) can inform a critical analysis of child protection policy, with particular reference to poverty, parenting and maltreatment. The CA, originally developed by the Nobel-Prize-winning economist Amartya Sen, is an approach that has been used widely in a range of disciplines and policy domains. Here, we outline the CA and examine how it can inform our understanding of the impact of the current polic…
Primary Versus Secondary Diagnosis of Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Youth
The rise and rise of prevention science in UK family welfare
This article examines the forms of knowledge used to warrant investment by the state in ‘early intervention’ in the lives of disadvantaged children and families. It argues that these are supported by the same logics as those associated with the more intrusive and coercive interventions, which may culminate in the permanent severance of biological and kinship ties. Such interventions are located within the paradigm of prevention science, steadily …
Out of time
This paper draws on a British Academy ( BA ) funded study exploring social workers' conceptions of family using a vignette and focus groups. The policy context is discussed and the data from the BA study are then compared and contrasted with families' accounts of their own situations using the data from a separate qualitative study about child protection social work. The paper discusses the themes emerging and argues for a renewed focus on theori…
Re-imagining child protection
This book draws from moral philosophy, social policy, the humanities, sociology, systems theory,psycho-social studies and the authors’ research on systems and the lived experiences of those involved with current child protection processes to challenge current directions in child protection policy and practice. It examines the language and frameworks used and addresses how they have hollowed out important moral and political issues of suffering an…
Re-imagining child protection
Blinded by neuroscience
Current social policy initiatives are promoting early intervention to improve the lives of disadvantaged children. Neuroscientific evidence is prominent in this discourse, creating the lustre of science, but too much has been taken on trust. In particular, the argument that the first three years are critical has created a now-or-never imperative to intervene before irreparable damage is done to the developing infant brain. A critique of current p…

When policy o’erleaps itself
Information technology plays a pivotal role in New Labour’s modernization programme. Here we report findings from a 2 year ethnographic study of the impact and origin of one such system, the Integrated Children’s System, which has been deployed in statutory children’s social care. We show how the ICS, by attempting to micro-manage work through a rigid performance management regime, and a centrally prescribed practice model, has disrupted the prof…
Child-Centric Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and the Fragmentation of Child Welfare Practice in England
The ways in which government supports families and protects children are always a fine balance. In recent years, we suggest that this balance can be characterised increasingly as 'child-centric', less concerned with families and more focused on individual children and their needs. This article charts the changes in families and government responses over the last 40 years, and the way this is reflected in organisational and administrative arrangem…
Anxiety in children and adolescents with autism spectrum disorders
From Policy to Practice
A central element of the Every Child Matters reforms in England are measures which aim at improving information sharing. Amongst these are the children’s database and the Common Assessment Framework, both representing technological solutions to long‐standing concerns about information sharing in child welfare. This article reports some findings from an Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC)‐funded study which examined their introduction and …

A Tale of Two CAFs
The Common Assessment Framework (CAF) is an electronic system for assessing children and sharing information between child welfare professionals, which is at various stages of pilot and implementation in England and Wales. Research by the authors in England (Peckover et al., 2008a, 2008b; White et al., 2008) and in Wales (Pithouse et al., 2004; Pithouse, 2006) informs this paper in order to compare CAF as implicating a number of policy ‘goods’, w…

Communicating misunderstandings
This paper reflects on the findings of an ethnographic study of interprofessional communication and social relations in an integrated child health service, during and after the relocation of different parts of the service to a single site. In the context of the governmental emphasis on restructuring services in order to facilitate better communication between different disciplines, its findings are of considerable pertinence. The study found that…
