Preterm birth (birth at less than 37 weeks’ gestation) is common and represents a major contributor to global child morbidity and mortality. An estimated 10.6% of live births, nearly 15 million births annually, occur before 37 completed weeks of gestation (Chawanpaiboon et al., 2019). Collectively, ‘extremely’ preterm births (births at <28 weeks) and ‘very’ preterm births (births at 28–31 weeks) make

A year supporting youth within a pandemic: A shared reflection Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-03-18 Deborah Christie, April Elliott
On March 6th last year, an International Adolescent health conference we had both been working on to be held in San Diego, USA, was cancelled because of warnings from the CDC about the SARS-CoV-2 virus and a tidal wave of colleagues cancelling from all around the world who were slowly going into versions of lockdown – a phrase that would become familiar to us all very soon. Within 2 weeks, where possible

Psychological and neuropsychological underpinnings of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder assessment Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-02-24 A. Jordan Wright
The identification and diagnosis of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is extremely important in order to help change the trajectory of an individual’s life outcomes. A review of the current state of evidence-based assessment of ADHD is dominated by the DSM-5’s conceptualization of behaviorally-oriented diagnostic criteria. This assumption that the DSM-5’s method for identifying ADHD is

Sensation seeking and nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior among adolescent psychiatric patients Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-02-21 Shane D Kentopp, Bradley T Conner, Theodore J Fetterling, Arianna A Delgadillo, Rachel A Rebecca
The Benefits and Barriers model of NSSI postulates that engagement in NSSI is positively reinforced by potent benefits, however there are a host of barriers to engagement, any one of which is salient enough to prevent engagement. It is possible that individual differences in sensation seeking, a trait that describes optimal level of positive reinforcement, may alter the balance between the benefits

Reconsidering a role for attachment in eating disorder management in the context of paediatric diabetes Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-02-18 Rosie Oldham-Cooper, Claire Semple, Laura L. Wilkinson
We suggest a reconsideration of the role of ‘attachment orientation’ in the context of eating disorders and paediatric diabetes. Attachment orientation is a psychological construct that describes a relatively stable set of expectations and behaviours an individual relies upon in managing relationships. There is considerable evidence of an association between attachment orientation and the development

Prevention and early help for eating disorders in young people with type 1 diabetes Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-02-18 Rosie Oldham-Cooper, Claire Semple
There is building evidence that early intervention is key to improving outcomes in eating disorders, whereas a ‘watch and wait’ approach that has been commonplace among GPs and other healthcare professionals is now strongly discouraged. Eating disorders occur at approximately twice the rate in individuals with type 1 diabetes compared to the general population. In this group, standard eating disorder

Therapist self-disclosure: Let’s tackle the elephant in the room Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-02-11 Clark Johnsen, Helen T Ding
Therapist Self-Disclosure (TSD), the revealing of a therapist’s feelings, thoughts or personal information to a client, is an inevitable aspect of therapeutic relationships. However, despite its prevalence in clinical settings, we believe there is insufficient recognition and exploration of TSD in our work with children and adolescents. Because TSD is not often formally addressed during training, therapists

Attachment representations to parents and emotional-behavioral problems: A comparison between children with type 1 diabetes mellitus and healthy children in middle childhood Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-01-19 Fabiola Bizzi, Anna Maria Della Vedova, Elena Prandi, Donatella Cavanna, Paola Manfredi
Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1D) is one of the most demanding chronic diseases for children and their families, since controlling diabetes involves a process of co-regulation with attachment figures. However, there is insufficient evidence in middle childhood on psychological mechanisms involved that might complicate the adaptation of these children. Therefore, 106 children (N = 31 with T1D and N = 75

Body Dysmorphic Disorder: Reflections on the last 25 years Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2021-01-11 Amita Jassi, Georgina Krebs
At the time this journal started 25 years ago, body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) was virtually unheard of among academics and clinicians. The 10th edition of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD), the dominant diagnostic manual in Europe, had been published three years earlier in 1992. In this version of the manual, BDD featured only as an inclusion term under hypochondriacal disorder and

Low carbohydrate diets in eating disorders and type 1 diabetes Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2020-12-22 Melissa Hart, Kirrilly Pursey, Carmel Smart
Dietary intake requires attention in the treatment of both eating disorders and type 1 diabetes (T1D) to achieve optimal outcomes. Nutritional management of both conditions involves encouraging a wide variety of healthful foods in the context of usual cultural and family traditions. In recent times, low carbohydrate diets have seen a rise in popularity, both in T1D and in the general population. Low

The integration of psychological services in medical settings has numerous benefits but a process for systematic integration and system wide evaluation is needed. A process model was created and evaluated for integrating services in 32 outpatient subspecialty clinics. Levels of satisfaction in caregivers (n = 98), physicians (n = 27), and non-physicians (n = 45) were assessed. Most caregivers rated

Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) is a topic of renewed interest. Much remains to be learned about its association with symptoms and diagnoses that have received little research attention, particularly sleep disturbance, somatic complaints, and autism. Our study is the first to explore the relationship between SCT and sleep, internalizing, externalizing, somatic, and cognitive problems, impairment, and

Caregiver engagement in youth partial hospitalization treatment Clin. Child Psychol. Psychiatry (IF 1.647) Pub Date : 2020-12-13 Kathy A Dowell, Summer J Nielsen
Although the importance of caregiver engagement in a child’s psychological treatment is well established within outpatient treatment settings, the question remains whether these findings can be generalized to more intensive treatment settings where caregiver engagement may be more challenging to facilitate. A correlational, multi-informant design was used to collect data by caregiver self-report and

Although the theory of evolution lies at the heart of contemporary biology, its influence on the study of child psychology and psychiatry has been limited. In earlier work we have argued that evolutionary thinking has much of value for clinicians. Here, we explore the possible significance of evolutionary theory for understanding child abuse by mothers, particularly neglect, emotional abuse and physical
