Paradigm ‘flipping’ to reinvigorate translational science: Outlining a neurodevelopmental science framework from a ‘neurodiversity’ perspective J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-14 Edmund J. S. Sonuga-Barke
For the most part the science of neuro-developmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD, is conducted within a framework defined by a paradigm that assumes that these expressions of neuro-developmental variation are disorders resulting from brain dysfunction. the translational goal being to identify, then target, the source of such dysfunction to reduce disorder and resolve impairment. By shifting

Translating the nuanced risk for substance use among adolescents treated for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) into clinical practice: a commentary on McCabe et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-09-05 Traci M. Kennedy, Brooke S. G. Molina
In their recent examination of the Monitoring the Future (MTF) data, McCabe et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) address the complex, longstanding, and clinically valuable questions of whether and how stimulant medication treatment for adolescents with ADHD relates to their risk for substance use. Here, we expand on the authors' interpretations of their nuanced findings of increased

Testing reciprocal associations between child anxiety and parenting across early interventions for inhibited preschoolers J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-29 Danielle R. Novick, Christian T. Meyer, Nicholas J. Wagner, Kenneth H. Rubin, Christina M. Danko, Lea R. Dougherty, Lindsay R. Druskin, Kelly A. Smith, Andrea Chronis-Tuscano
Given the robust evidence base for the efficacy of evidence-based treatments targeting youth anxiety, researchers have advanced beyond efficacy outcome analysis to identify mechanisms of change and treatment directionality. Grounded in developmental transactional models, interventions for young children at risk for anxiety by virtue of behaviorally inhibited temperament often target parenting and child

Understanding the relationship between social camouflaging in autism and safety behaviours in social anxiety in autistic and non-autistic adolescents J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-26 Jiedi Lei, Eleanor Leigh, Tony Charman, Ailsa Russell, Matthew J. Hollocks
Social camouflaging (hereafter camouflaging) in autism includes factors such as masking and compensating for one's neurodevelopmental differences, and to assimilate or ‘fit in’ with non-autistic peers. Efforts to hide one's authentic self and autism traits (masking) resemble impression management (IM) in safety behaviours identified in Clark and Wells' (1995) cognitive model of social anxiety (SA)

Practitioner Review: Neurobiological consequences of childhood maltreatment – clinical and therapeutic implications for practitioners J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-23 Jacqueline A. Samson, Thatcher R. Newkirk, Martin H. Teicher
Childhood maltreatment is one of the most important preventable risk factors for a wide variety of psychiatric disorders. Further, when psychiatric disorders emerge in maltreated individuals they typically do so at younger ages, with greater severity, more psychiatric comorbid conditions, and poorer response to established treatments, resulting in a more pernicious course with an increased risk for

Editorial Perspective: Adapting western psychological interventions for children and adolescents in LMICs: lessons from Nepal J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-22 Adele Pacini, Prithvi Shrestha
Nepal is a low-middle income country which is considered to be a collectivist culture and has a significant mental health treatment gap for young people. The dominant approach in the global mental health literature has been to import western treatments with varying degrees of cultural adaptation. We argue that this approach is at best cost-ineffective, and at worst harmful, particularly where young

Early indicators of response to transdiagnostic treatment of pediatric anxiety and depression J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-21 Pauline Goger, Michelle Rozenman, Araceli Gonzalez, David A. Brent, Giovanna Porta, Frances L. Lynch, John F. Dickerson, V. Robin Weersing
Pediatric anxiety and depression are prevalent, impairing, and highly comorbid. Available evidence-based treatments have an average response rate of 60%. One path to increasing response may be to identify likely non-responders midway through treatment to adjust course prior to completing an episode of care. The aims of this study, thus, were to identify predictors of post-intervention response assessing

Report from a randomized control trial: improved alignment between circadian biology and sleep–wake behavior as a mechanism of depression symptom improvement in evening-type adolescents with depressive symptoms J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-17 Lauren D. Asarnow, Adriane Soehner, Emily Dolsen, Lulu Dong, Allison G. Harvey
An evening circadian preference is common among adolescents. It is characterized by a behavioral predilection for later sleep and wake timing and is associated with higher rates of Major Depressive Disorder (MDD). The present study aims to (a) test the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral sleep intervention (Transdiagnostic Sleep and Circadian Intervention; TranS-C) in a sample of adolescents with

Socioeconomic status and risk for child psychopathology: exploring gene–environment interaction in the presence of gene–environment correlation using extended families in the Norwegian Mother, Father and Child Birth Cohort Study J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-12 Isabella Badini, Yasmin Ahmadzadeh, Daniel L. Wechsler, Torkild H. Lyngstad, Christopher Rayner, Espen M. Eilertsen, Helena M.S. Zavos, Eivind Ystrom, Tom A. McAdams
Low socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with increased risk for emotional and behavioural problems among children. Evidence from twin studies has shown that family SES moderates genetic and environmental influences on child mental health. However, it is also known that SES is itself under genetic influence and previous gene–environment interaction (G×E) studies have not incorporated the potential

Poor learning or hyper-exploration?: A commentary on Hulsbosch et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-08-01 Yehuda Pollak
In an outstanding paper, Hulsbosch et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) tested major reinforcement learning theories of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). On a reinforcement learning task, children with ADHD needed more trials to reach the criterion in the learning phase and chose the target less often in the extinction phase. These results only partially support

Developmental deviation in delay discounting as a transdiagnostic indicator of risk for child psychopathology J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-31 Jacob DeRosa, Keri S. Rosch, Stewart H. Mostofsky, Aki Nikolaidis
The tendency to prefer smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed rewards is known as delay discounting (DD). Developmental deviations in DD may be key in characterizing psychiatric and neurodevelopmental disorders. Recent work empirically supported DD as a transdiagnostic process in various psychiatric disorders. Yet, there is a lack of research relating developmental changes in DD from mid-childhood

Research Review: A systematic review and meta-analysis of sex differences in narrow constructs of restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests in autistic children, adolescents, and adults J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-23 Hannah Edwards, Sarah Wright, Cora Sargeant, Samuele Cortese, Henry Wood-Downie
Evidence that autism often manifests differently between males and females is growing, particularly in terms of social interaction and communication, but it is unclear if there are sex differences in restricted and repetitive behaviours and interests (RRBIs) when rigorously focusing on the narrow construct level (i.e., stereotyped behaviour, restricted interests, insistence on sameness, and/or sensory

Testing the interpersonal theory of suicide in adolescents: A multi-wave longitudinal study J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-20 David Pagliaccio, Alma Bitran, Jaclyn S. Kirshenbaum, Kira L. Alqueza, Katherine Durham, Lauren S. Chernick, Karla Joyce, Ranqing Lan, Giovanna Porta, David A. Brent, Nicholas B. Allen, Randy P. Auerbach
Suicide is a major public health crisis among youth. Several prominent theories, including the Interpersonal Theory of Suicide (IPTS), aim to characterize the factors leading from suicide ideation to action. These theories are largely based on findings in adults and require testing and elaboration in adolescents.

The influence of loss to follow-up in autism screening research: Taking stock and moving forward J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-19 R. Christopher Sheldrick, Jessica L. Hooker, Alice S. Carter, Emily Feinberg, Lisa A. Croen, Jocelyn Kuhn, Elizabeth Slate, Amy M. Wetherby
How best to improve the early detection of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is the subject of significant controversy. Some argue that universal ASD screeners are highly accurate, whereas others argue that evidence for this claim is insufficient. Relatedly, there is no clear consensus as to the optimal role of screening for making referral decisions for evaluation and treatment. Published screening research

Commentary: The evidence base regarding the long-term effects of childhood mental disorder treatments needs to be strengthened – reply to Dekkers et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-15 Annelieke M. Roest, Ymkje Anna de Vries, Albert W. Wienen, Peter de Jonge
In their reply to our editorial (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023, 64, 464), Dekkers et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023, 64, 470) argue that treatment is the best choice for children with mental disorders because there is ‘sound evidence’ that interventions are effective, also in the long term. We agree that there is sound evidence for treatment effectiveness in

Does the apple fall far from the tree? Commentary on Hafeman et al., early indicators of bipolar risk in preschool offspring of parents with bipolar disorder J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-09 Gabrielle A. Carlson
Comorbid externalizing and internalizing disorders are common in offspring of a parent with bipolar I or II disorder. In some cases, the symptoms are harbingers of future bipolar spectrum disorder. Even when they are not, they are likely to be impairing to the child. Clinicians need to be better informed about how the history leading up to mania/hypomania unfolds, and what comorbid disorders are impairing

A twin study of genetic and environmental contributions to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder over time J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-06 Mark J. Taylor, Joanna Martin, Agnieszka Butwicka, Paul Lichtenstein, Brian D'Onofrio, Sebastian Lundström, Henrik Larsson, Mina A. Rosenqvist
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is an increasingly commonly diagnosed neurodevelopmental condition. One possibility is that this reflects a genuine increase in the prevalence of ADHD due to secular environmental changes, yet this hypothesis remains untested. We therefore investigated whether the genetic and environmental variance underlying ADHD, and traits of ADHD, has changed over

Commentary: Cognitive stimulation and executive functions in the prevention and treatment of childhood disorders – reflection on Phillips et al., 2023 J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-07-04 Walter Matthys
The study by Phillips et al. (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2023) shows that preschool executive functions (EF) are a transdiagnostic mechanism through which deprivation increases the risk for psychopathology in adolescence. In addition, deprivation appeared to be a key mechanism through which economic adversity (i.e., lower income-to-needs ratio and maternal education) undermines EF

Eley
Emotional symptoms, such as anxiety and depressive symptoms, are common during adolescence, often persist over time, and can precede the emergence of severe anxiety and depressive disorders. Studies suggest that a vicious cycle of reciprocal influences between emotional symptoms and interpersonal difficulties may explain why some adolescents suffer from persisting emotional symptoms. However, the role

Socioeconomic disadvantage and high-effort coping in childhood: evidence of skin-deep resilience J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-29 Katherine B. Ehrlich, Sarah M. Lyle, Kelsey L. Corallo, Julie M. Brisson, Elizabeth R. Wiggins, Tianyi Yu, Edith Chen, Gregory E. Miller, Gene H. Brody
Low socioeconomic status (SES) is a risk factor for poor outcomes across development. Recent evidence suggests that, although psychosocial resilience among youth living in low-SES households is common, such expressions of resilience may not extend to physical health. Questions remain about when these diverging mental and physical health trajectories emerge. The current study hypothesized that skin-deep

(J Child Psychol Psychiatry, 2023) breaks important new ground by moving beyond the mother–child dyad and investigating the coparenting alliance between mothers and fathers of young children with autism. By integrating family systems thinking, developmental science, and research on autism spectrum disorder, this line of research is bound to improve our understanding

Commentary: Optimism and guidance for improving treatment effects among children with callous-unemotional traits – reflections on Perlstein et al. (2023) J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-29 Georgette E. Fleming
Callous-unemotional (CU) traits have increasingly received attention as a potential predictor and outcome of treatment for children with conduct problems. The results of Perlstein et al. (2023) offer the first meta-analytic evidence against the long-held belief that CU traits confer treatment resistance. The results also suggest that children with conduct problems and CU traits require something more

Editorial Perspective: When is a ‘small effect’ actually large and impactful? J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-25 Emma Grace Carey, Isobel Ridler, Tamsin Jane Ford, Argyris Stringaris
Reporting of effect sizes is standard practice in psychology and psychiatry research. However, interpretation of these effect sizes can be meaningless or misleading – in particular, the evaluation of specific effect sizes as ‘small’, ‘medium’ and ‘large’ can be inaccurate depending on the research context. A real-world example of this is research into the mental health of children and young people

Research Review: The internalizing paradox – youth anxiety and depression symptoms, psychotherapy outcomes, and implications for research and practice J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-24 John R. Weisz, Olivia M. Fitzpatrick, Katherine A. Venturo-Conerly, Ariel Sternberg, Joshua S. Steinberg, Mei Yi Ng
Youth anxiety and depression have long been combined within the empirically derived internalizing syndrome. The two conditions show substantial comorbidity, symptom co-occurrence, and overlap in treatment procedures, but paradoxically diverge in psychotherapy outcomes: strong, positive effects for anxiety and weak effects for depression.

Negative parenting, epigenetic age, and psychological problems: prospective associations from adolescence to young adulthood J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-19 Stefanos Mastrotheodoros, Marco P. Boks, Céline Rousseau, Wim Meeus, Susan Branje
Epigenetic clocks are based on DNA methylation levels of several genomic loci and have been developed as indices of biological aging. Studies examining the effects of stressful environmental exposures have shown that stress is associated with differences between epigenetic age and chronological age (i.e., Epigenetic Age acceleration, EA). This pre-registered longitudinal study examined the long-term

Evaluating a treatment selection approach for online single-session interventions for adolescent depression J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-14 Isaac L. Ahuvia, Michael C. Mullarkey, Jenna Y. Sung, Kathryn R. Fox, Jessica L. Schleider
The question ‘what works for whom’ is essential to mental health research, as matching individuals to the treatment best suited to their needs has the potential to maximize the effectiveness of existing approaches. Digitally administered single-session interventions (SSIs) are effective means of reducing depressive symptoms in adolescence, with potential for rapid, large-scale implementation. However

Editorial: It is time to modernize the concept of ADHD! J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-12 Barbara Franke
People with ADHD in our society struggle, and they often report that they experience a lack of full acceptance in society. The realization that the current situation is suboptimal for individuals with ADHD and for society as a whole leads to a call of researchers, clinicians, and people with lived experience and their families for a modernized concept of ADHD. This new concept should take the discourse

Reciprocal associations between parental feeding practices and child eating behaviours from toddlerhood to early childhood: bivariate latent change analysis in the Gemini cohort J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2023-05-15 Alice R. Kininmonth, Moritz Herle, Emma Haycraft, Clare Farrow, Kristiane Tommerup, Helen Croker, Abigail Pickard, Katie Edwards, Jacqueline Blissett, Clare Llewellyn
Parental feeding practices (PFPs) are a key component of a child's food environment. Parent–child feeding relationships are hypothesised to be bidirectional; however, to date, few large prospective studies have examined this, instead focussing on unidirectional relationships. As such, the direction of relationships between PFPs and children's eating behaviours remains unclear.
