<description>Bulimia has been linked to psychological issues such as anxiety, depression, and substance misuse. Other behavioral problems, including aggression, oppositional defiance, and impulsivity, have also been shown to increase the risk for disordered eating and bulimia in White American girls. However, to date there has been little research focusing on how these behaviors and mental health issues contribute to the development of bulimia in African American girls. Previous studies have demonstrated that externalizing behaviors predict eating issues, but this relationship has not been examined longitudinally. To address this gap, Lindsay P. Bodell of the Department of Psychology at Florida State University recently led a study that looked at how conduct behavior and impulsivity influenced the onset of bulimia in African American girls over a period of 9 years.</description>

<description>Social support is crucial for the development of autonomy and self-esteem. Individuals rely on social support during the transition from adolescence to adulthood, particularly if they do not have a strong support system in their own families. Facebook has become the predominant social networking site used by young adults and has exponentially increased the number of ?friends? an individual has. Strong social support has been linked to increases in well-being, and a lack of a supportive social framework often predicts negative psychological health and the onset of depression and other mood problems. However, understanding how these audiences of friends, both private and public, affect the development of self-esteem by way of social support has yet to be fully explored. Because this phenomenon has drastically changed the social evolution of the current generation of young adults, Adriana M. Manago of the Department of Psychology at the University of California in Los Angeles wanted to examine this dynamic more closely. In particular, Manago was curious to find out how the social networks developed on Facebook impacted intimacy and overall well-being in this segment of the population.</description>

<description>One of the primary risk factors for schizophrenia is a family history of the illness. Having a relative with schizophrenia increases one?s risk for other mental health problems as well. However, dissecting the exact genetic relationship between schizotypal personality disorder and other mental health risk factors is convoluted because most psychological illnesses are heritable. To better understand what co-occurring and varying genetic factors exist in individuals with a family history of schizotypal personality disorder, Sarah I. Tarbox of the Department of Psychology at the University of Pittsburgh examined 640 Americans with a family history and 43 individuals with no genetic risk factors. The goals of her study were to identify accurate genetic risk factor measurements and predictability of schizotypal personality disorder. She also wanted to measure the specificity of the scales used to measure genetic risk present in schizophrenia families against measurements used to assess substance misuse and depression, mental health problems that are often comorbid with schizophrenic disorders.</description>

<description>Abstinence self-efficacy (ASE) is one?s ability to abstain from alcohol or drug use and is a strong indicator of how an individual will respond to treatment. Although there are many factors that influence ASE, symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) are thought to be among the strongest factors that can impair one?s recovery. Existing research examining this relationship has focused on adults in general. But Brenna L. Greenfield of the Department of Psychology and Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addictions at the University of New Mexico wanted to discover how MDD affected ASE in a particularly vulnerable segment of the population: emerging adults. Individuals between the ages of 18 and 25 are more likely to engage in experimentation than any other age group. Young adults first begin to experience intimate relationships, career pressures, and independence during this time. And many of them also begin to explore drug and alcohol use. It is during this time that individuals are at the highest risk for the onset of psychological problems as well.</description>

<description>People who are discriminated against can suffer significant negative consequences. General well-being, self-esteem, self-worth, and social relations can be severely impacted as a result of discrimination. But recognizing exactly how perceived discrimination affects an individual is much less understood. Previous research has suggested that perceived discrimination can lead to mental health problems such as increased stress, depression, and anxiety. In an effort to better comprehend the exact relationship between perceived discrimination and psychological health, Que-Lam Huynh of the Department of Psychology at California State University recently led a study that examined the effects of this type of prejudice on Latin American participants.</description>

<title>Recognizing Resiliency in Maladaptive PTSD Behaviors</title>

<description>Resiliency is seen as one?s ability to adaptively cope with stressful events. Individuals who have survived childhood traumas learn how to cope in various ways. Some engage in dissociative behaviors to protect themselves from emotional distress during childhood. Other children rely on different strategies to survive. But when these children reach adulthood, the once adaptive coping methods can become maladaptive in the absence of ongoing abuse. The resilient behaviors of childhood can become pathological, and, conversely, pathological behaviors exhibited during traumatic times may evolve and develop into resilient techniques that allow survivors to function in a healthy way. It is this ?braiding? of behaviors that was of interest to Nicola R. Brown of the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Canada. She theorized that clinicians could better serve trauma survivors, specifically those struggling with posttraumatic stress (PTSD), if they could disentangle maladaptive coping strategies and those that promoted resiliency by listening to client narratives more closely.</description>

<description>Sibling rivalry is a term that is casually used when describing the unharmonious relationship between siblings. When an only child is about to become a big brother or sister, parents are often concerned about sibling rivalry and, in particular, how their child will react when they are no longer the only child. Most children, nearly 80% in the United States, have at least one brother or sister. This transition to siblinghood (TTS) is seen by some experts as one of the most traumatic events a child experiences. Mothers and fathers of only children express concern about their child?s behavior prior to the arrival of a new baby and often worry about how their child will react and respond. Because most children who experience TTS do so at a critical time for emotional development, between the ages of 2 and 3, experts have suggested that this stage is a time of extreme stress for children and parents, with some even stating that many children experience a crisis during TTS. To determine if TTS poses a threat to the well-being of a child, Brenda L. Volling, of the Center for Human Grown and Development at the University of Michigan, recently analyzed 30 studies devoted to child development and behavior during TTS.</description>

<description>Postpartum depression and anxiety can severely impact the relationship between a mother and her child. Long after the symptoms have waned, the child can still struggle with the psychological impact of the experience. Some studies have examined how specific postnatal maternal mental health problems, such as anxiety, depression, and eating issues, can affect a child?s psychological well-being. But very little research has examined how a mother?s thought patterns, specifically worry and rumination, two behaviors common in anxiety and depression, influence a child?s development. Alan Stein of the Department of Psychiatry at Warneford Hospital at the University of Oxford in the U.K. was curious to find out how these issues affected the type of parenting a mother provided. People with anxiety and depression are often stuck in a negative mood, which can limit the amount of attention they provide their children. During infancy, the bond between mother and child is critical and lays the foundation for many aspects of a child?s psychological development and well-being throughout their lifetime.</description>

<description>Social phobia (SP) is one of the most common anxiety problems that American adults suffer from. Anxiety in general, and SP in particular, usually first develop during early adolescence and are more common in children who struggle with inhibition and extreme shyness. This can cause these already emotionally fragile children to withdraw from social settings, including parties, sports, and other activities that involve performing or speaking in front of others. Children with early anxiety and SP are more likely to experience psychological problems than their peers and are at increased risk for later substance misuse. Adults who suffered with SP as children often continue to have difficulties in social settings and exhibit poor relationship skills and psychological well-being as a result of their anxiety. Identifying SP in childhood, therefore, is critical to healthy social adjustment throughout the teen years and beyond.</description>

<description>Reductions in white brain matter have been linked to cognitive impairments. Decreased white matter is one symptom of schizophrenia and has also been found in people who are at risk for psychosis. This same symptom has also been discovered in individuals with long-term cannabis use. However, little research has examined whether or not extensive cannabis use increases the risk for psychotic symptoms, or if schizophrenic individuals who use cannabis experience poorer cognitive functioning than those who do not use cannabis. In an attempt to address this gap, N. Solowij of the School of Psychology at the University of Wollongong in Australia conducted a study looking at how white brain matter varied in different classifications of individuals. Solowij recruited 15 cannabis users without schizophrenia, 8 with schizophrenia, 9 individuals with schizophrenia alone, and 16 healthy, nonusing individuals.</description>

<description>One of the primary symptoms of schizophrenia is severely impaired cognitive functioning. Prior to the onset of the illness, during a stage referred to as the prodrome, cognitive abilities, including sensory information processing abilities, can begin to deteriorate. During the prodrome, individuals often exhibit behaviors that differ significantly from their normal behaviors and responses. One domain that is affected in clients with schizophrenia is auditory and visual processing. However, little attention has been focused on the levels of auditory and visual processing in clients at risk for or in the early stages of schizophrenia. Understanding how these domains are affected in the earliest stages of schizophrenia could help clinicians better diagnose and treat the illness. In an attempt to examine this dynamic in early onset and at-risk clients, C. Jahshan of the Mental Illness Research, Education and Clinical Center of the Veterans Affairs Greater Los Angeles Healthcare System led a study that focused specifically on event-related responses (ERP).</description>

<description>Children with learning difficulties require special attention from caregivers and teachers. Understanding the particular needs of these children is imperative to ensure that they achieve academic and social success. Memory and language are two separate elements of cognitive developmentthat influence the overall well-being of a child. Research has shown that deficits in these two domains can overlap, creating an even more complicated framework in which these children must be taught. Lisa Archibald, of the Communication Sciences and Disorders Department of the University of Western Ontario at Elborn College in London, led a study in an attempt to identify how teachers address these issues, separately and collectively, in the classroom.</description>

<description>Emotionally focused couples therapy (EFT) is an emotional approach used to help couples address problems within their relationships. Clinicians who deliver this type of therapy undergo intense training to be able to effectively use all of the components of the treatment in a productive way that maximizes treatment outcome. EFT training strives to increase a therapist?s ability to process emotions and identify and address attachment styles, and it enhances self-compassion. However, most clinicians report that their own personal development has not been addressed in previous EFT training sessions or through supervision. Because a clinician?s emotional intelligence and relationship skills are critical factors that directly influence treatment, Michelle Montagno, Ph.D., of the Wright Institute in Berkeley, California, conducted a study that evaluated the knowledge and competence levels of clinicians following a 4-day intensive EFT training session. The skills and growth achieved in EFT training can enhance a clinician?s curiosity and acceptance and increase his or her motivation to explore issues that are pertinent to clients.</description>

<description>According to a new study led by A.C. Burnett of the Department of Psychology at the University of Melbourne in Australia, children born prematurely and with low birth weights (LBW) are three-and-a-half times more likely to develop mental health problems such as depression and anxiety than normal birth weight (NBW) children. Children born prematurely are already at increased risk for physical health problems, learning disabilities, and other cognitive challenges. Some research has provided evidence that children who are born prematurely are at a higher risk for behavioral problems and even attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). But until now, there has been little evidence suggesting that these children are also more vulnerable to mood disorders and mental health problems later in life.</description>

<description>National statistics for the prevalence of adult depression vary but suggest that at least 15% of all adult Americans have had at least one depressive episode in their lives. Depression can be a severely debilitating illness that results in decreased physical health, impaired functioning, lost productivity, and overall negative well-being and quality of life. There are many different treatments for depression including therapy, diet, exercise, and medication. Vitamins, specifically folate and B12, are commonly used in conjunction with other treatment methods to help clients with depression improve their moods. Although there has been extensive research on depression and medication, until now, there has been little attention given to the rate of vitamin use in clients suffering with depression. In an effort to better examine this trend, Guixiang Zhao of the Division of Adult and Community Health at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta conducted a study analyzing how often vitamins were used in female and male clients with depression.</description>

<description>Eating disorders (ED) can manifest in different ways and most often develop during adolescence. Anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia, and binge eating are just some of the problems that teens struggle with when they develop eating and food issues. Existing research has demonstrated a link between obsessive-compulsive behaviors and disordered eating, but little attention has been given to how the presence of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) in children affects the development of ED in adolescence. In order to provide evidence of the relationship between OCD and ED from childhood through young adulthood, N. Micali of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at Kings College in London conducted a study that followed 126 children over 9 years and assessed them for symptoms of ED.</description>

<description>Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an approach that is used to treat many mental health challenges, including anorexia nervosa in teens and adults. Anorexia, which usually develops during adolescence, is seen by some as an individual?s method of gaining control over something in their lives during a time in which they feel controlled by parents, teachers, peers, and society in general. CBT has been seen as an appropriate treatment because it addresses the cognitive and behavioral processes, the thinking and eating habits of the teens. However, in a new study, James Lock, professor of Child Psychiatry and Pediatrics at the Stanford University School of Medicine, tests the validity of family-based treatment (FBT) for the treatment of anorexia. FBT aims to bring the teen to a healthy weight with the assistance of the parent and then relinquishes the maintenance of that weight back to the teen while examining the emotional and social challenges facing the teen.</description>

<description>Individuals with bipolar disorder struggle with many issues, including poor treatment outcome and overall decreased functioning. Anxiety is common among individuals with bipolar disorder and can exacerbate the negative symptoms, resulting in suicidal ideation, poorer quality of life, more severely impaired functioning, and even nonresponse to medication. But little research has examined how the comorbidity of these two mental health problems affects teens and children. Additionally, there is a narrow body of evidence examining the relationship between the two issues. Understanding the correlates between anxiety and bipolar in young people can significantly benefit their treatment. Children with bipolar who exhibit symptoms of anxiety alone may be prescribed medication that can increase their depressive states, causing their conditions to deteriorate rather than improve.</description>

<description>Experimentation is a common behavior during adolescence. Young adulthood is a time when individuals begin exploring new relationships, activities, and even substances. Drug use among young adults is not uncommon. However, adolescents who continue to abuse drugs and alcohol are more likely to engage in risky sexual activity, aggression, and unlawful behaviors. There are many factors that have been shown to increase the likelihood of substance abuse during this time, including anxiety, depression, childhood trauma or abuse and family history. In order to identify which factors pose the highest risk to teens, Michael Harrington, a psychiatrist with the Health Sciences Center of the University of Manitoba in Winnipeg examined data from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC), a longitudinal study designed to assess mental health issues in adults over several years.</description>

<description>According to the International Consensus Development Conference, female sexual dysfunction (FSD) must be characterized by anxiety about sexual performance together with feelings of distress and other symptoms of dysfunction. However, according to a new study led by A. Burri of the Department of Twin Research and Genetic Epidemiology at King?s College in London, many women who experience sexual distress are not sexually dysfunctional. To understand why distress is present in some women with FSD and some women without, Burri examined data collected from 930 British female twins. The twin model was chosen because it allowed the research team to examine similar environmental and genetic risks. Based on questionnaires filled out by the twins, Burri also assessed the participants for history of abuse, relationship status, obssessive-compulsive disorder, general anxiety, emotional functioning, personality, and sexual distress.</description>

<description>Acknowledgement of victimization is the first step on the road to recovery. Yet many individuals who are victims of stalking don?t ever acknowledge that they have been victimized. Although there is much research examining this phenomenon in sexual assaults, little research has been devoted to the psychological ramifications of unacknowledged victims of stalking. To address this void, Christine M. Englebrecht, Ph.D., in the Criminal Justice Program at Bowling Green State University in Ohio led a study examining what conditions men and women deemed necessary to warrant the acknowledgement of stalking.</description>

<description>One risk factor for obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is something known as neurological soft signs (NSS). These minor disturbances in brain functioning have been shown to be present in people with OCD more often than in people without OCD. Some studies have isolated NSS and discovered that individuals with OCD and NSS have impaired reflexes and motor coordination, as well as more severe symptoms of the disorder. Other risk factors that have been suggested are decreased intelligence, temperament, childhood trauma, and emotional functioning. In order to identify how each of these specific domains influences the vulnerability for OCD, J. R. Grisham of the School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales in Australia led a study examining data collected over 30 years.</description>

<description>With football season nearing end, emotionally charged teen boys, who are taught how to use aggression on the field, will no longer be able to use that physical outlet for their youthful frustrations. Because of the high level of violence in the sport, experts have wondered if these teens, who are encouraged to use coercion, intimidation, and other aggressive tactics during play, are more likely to engage in bullying behaviors off the field than their nonathlete peers. Nearly half of teens today report that they have been either the victim or perpetrator of bullying. And although football does not endorse bullying, players are encouraged to aspire to masculine norms and conformity. Therefore, researchers have asked, do these factors make the players more vulnerable to bullying behaviors?</description>

<description>One method for measuring reactivity to stress is to assess the level of autonomic nervous system (ANS) functioning. In a recent study, Lisa M. Diamond of the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah used skin conductance (SCL) to measure ANS among 110 children 14 years old. The purpose of her experiment was to determine if teens? reactions to stress were influenced by their own predisposition or by their environments. Specifically, Diamond wanted to find out if boys and girls differed in how they handled stressful situations based on their baseline ANS and if the environments in which the teens lived, single-parent or dual-parent households and parents with internalizing or externalizing behaviors, would affect the way the teens reacted. Previous research has shown that negative environments negatively affect children who are sensitive to stress. These same children have also been shown to react positively to positive environments. To clarify if the outcomes realized in past studies were the result of the children?s sensitivity, the result of the environment alone, or a combination of both, Diamond evaluated all of these factors.</description>

<description>A strong therapeutic bond is imperative in order to achieve a successful outcome in psychotherapy. This bond must begin with the initial intake session. Research indicates that clients who feel disconnected from the clinician due to cultural, ethnic, or even religious differences, are more likely to terminate treatment as early as the first session.</description>

<description>Men, in general, are far less likely than women to seek professional help for mental health problems. But a new study, led by Joseph H. Hammer and David L. Vogel of the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University, suggests that men from rural communities are even more resistant than urban-dwelling men when it comes to getting psychological counseling. The study expands upon previous research by the team and explores the factors that create barriers to treatment. For example, in the study, Hammer and colleagues identified self-stigma as the primary reason that men from rural areas do not reach out for help.</description>

<description>The emotional impact of a cancer diagnosis is overwhelming. People who undergo cancer treatment come through recovery having learned how to deal with an immense amount of stress. Some individuals cope better than others. Research examining reactions to stress in cancer survivors has provided mixed results. Several studies suggest that cancer survivors are more resilient than their healthy counterparts, due to the fact that they have faced enormous stressors during their ordeal. Other evidence implies that people who have overcome cancer are hypersensitive to life stressors as a result of being traumatized from the course of their treatment. Because stress is known to have negative physical and psychological consequences, both extremely deleterious to recovery and future health, Erin S. Costanzo of the Department of Psychiatry and Carbone Cancer Center at the University of Wisconsin-Madison wanted to find out if this segment of the population was at increased risk for negative stress outcomes.</description>

<description>Experiencing a traumatic event can cause an individual to develop significant mental health problems, most commonly posttraumatic stress or depression. Many times, individuals who have been exposed to trauma develop varying degrees of both of these issues. Early detection is critical for diagnosis and treatment. In a recent study, Birgit Kleim of the Institute of Psychiatry at Kings College in London examined the specific factors used in cognitive models designed to assess PTSD and depression to determine their validity and predictive accuracy.</description>

<description>Half a dozen years ago, less than one-fifth of 12-year-old girls had a cell phone or iPod. Now, according to recent statistics, more than half of our young women own one if not both of these devices. Our culture has taken a dramatic technological shift over the past decade. And although there has been much research dedicated to examining the effects of multimedia on college students and adults, little attention has been given to the effects this has on the social skills and academic functioning of our young girls. Roy Pea of the School of Education at Stanford University wanted to find out exactly how use of media outlets in general, and multitasking between such outlets in particular, affected the social well-being of young girls. He was particularly interested in determining if relationships forged online or over texting and video chatting were stronger and more intimate than those developed through in-person communication. Pea also looked at rejection coping, positive and negative affect and hours spent using media in relation to total sleeping hours per day.</description>

<description>According to a new study led by Michael B. McFarland of the Department of Psychology at the University of North Texas, men primarily gauge their body satisfaction on three specific body parts, and they are not what one might think they are. Men who have body image issues struggle with a low sense of well-being and often develop mental health problems such as depression, muscle dysmorphia, and eating issues. Men are influenced throughout their lives by images of an ideal male body, which is depicted as lean and muscular. Media, peers, and even family members may pressure young boys in ways that are unproductive and unhealthy, causing these adolescents to feel dissatisfied with themselves and eventually leading them to engage in negative behaviors, including steroid abuse, extreme weight lifting, or restrictive dieting. The Body Parts Satisfaction Scale for Men (BPSS-M) is a measure used to gauge a man?s body satisfaction, based on 25 factors. However, in this most recent study, McFarland and his colleagues sought to isolate the factors that were most significant to a man?s perception of ideal body image.</description>

<description>The number of women who serve in the military and engage in combat is at an all-time high. The serious negative psychological consequences of being exposed to combat situations are well documented in male and female veterans. Those who return from war zones are at increased risk for many mental health problems, including posttraumatic stress, depression, substance abuse, anxiety, and intimate partner aggression. Although there have been many studies that have shown links between combat service and aggression in intimate relationships, few studies have examined how psychological problems resulting from combat influence this behavior in male and female veterans independently. Additionally, until now, there has been little research examining how childhood traumas combined with combat outcome affects the potential for a veteran to engage in aggressive behaviors. In order to address this gap, Lissa Dutra of the Women?s Health Sciences Division of the National Center for Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in Massachusetts led a study that looked specifically at female veteran aggression and if specific mental health conditions predicted that behavior.</description>

<description>One of the primary risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) is stress. Whether psychological or physiological, stress can elevate ambulatory blood pressure (ABP) in healthy individuals, posing a risk factor for CVD. This dynamic has been replicated in some research studies conducted in laboratory settings. Socio-evaluative threats, which include threats to appearance, self-esteem, ability, and inclusion and acceptance by others, affected both men and women similarly in these studies. However, Timothy W. Smith of the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah wanted to determine if these same socio-evaluative threats would pose the same risk for CVD in healthy adults in a real world setting. Smith and colleagues theorized that healthy adults would have momentary fluctuations in ABP as they experienced threats to their confidence or physical appearance and threats of other nature.</description>

<description>Attachment bonds are formed in early childhood. Relationships with nurturing attentive caregivers result in secure attachment bonds in children as they age. However, dismissive caregivers who neglect or avoid relationships with their children tend to cause insecure and dismissive attachment behaviors and perceptions in these children. The attachment bonds directly shape children?s internal working models (IWMs), the way in which children see the world and others around them. But little attention has been given to how these attachments predict a child?s behavior and IWM in the absence of the caregiver. To address this issue, Lars O. White of the Yale University Child Study Center and the University of Leipzig in Germany conducted an experiment to determine how children?s IWMs would predict their behaviors and perceptions in new social settings.</description>

<description>Autobiographical memories (AMs) are personal memories that individuals have of different events and experiences that occurred in their lifetimes. Evidence suggests that men retrieve AMs differently than women. Some studies have shown that individuals with extroverted personalities tend to retrieve more positive AMs than negative AMs. In contrast, individuals with introverted personalities and traits, such as neuroticism, retrieve more negative AMs. However, there are few studies that have examined how AM appraisal or suppression, specifically related to gender, affects emotional regulation (ER) and mood state. Because women are far more likely than men to develop negative mood states such as depression and anxiety, Ekaterina Denkova of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Alberta in Canada led a study to determine if the appraisal or suppression of positive or negative AMs would influence affect and further risk for affective disorders.</description>

<description>Tinnitus is a disabling condition that causes an individual to perceive sounds that are not present. Over 10% of the population suffers with this condition, with nearly 2% of the entire population struggling with tinnitus in the extremely distressing ranges. People in this category have symptoms similar to those who struggle with chronic pain or diabetes. When tinnitus gets severe enough it can lead to loss of concentration, cognitive impairment, emotional distress, and even insomnia. Nearly half of those who have tinnitus also have a clinical diagnosis of mood or anxiety problems.</description>

<description>Power can cause even the most level-headed individuals to act in self-serving ways. Many individuals believe that power is a corruptive force and that most people who gain vast amounts of power inevitably use it for ill. However, a recent study, led by Katherine A. DeCelles of the Rotman School of Management at the University of Toronto in Canada, suggests that power may have positive and negative effects. In work environments, disparities in power can cause a division in collaboration. People in positions of power can overlook the needs and interests of their subordinates in favor of their own interests. But power can also create a feeling of empathy and may even cause an individual to place the needs of others before their own. Research on power has demonstrated a link between one?s self-interest and their moral identity. The more aware one is of their values and self-concept, the stronger their sense of moral identity, and in most cases, the more empathetic and attentive to other?s needs.</description>

<description>Several studies have been conducted in an attempt to determine the exact relationship between gaze perception and symptomology in schizophrenia (SCZ). However, the results of the studies were rather ambiguous and did not provide evidence that could positively influence interventions and treatments for clients suffering from SCZ. In particular, eye gaze direction and perception are strong indicators of intention and attention. Because the ability to accurately perceive eye gaze direction is directly related to social behavior, a trait that is impaired in those with SCZ, Ivy F. Tso of the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, conducted a study that assessed the eye gaze perception of SCZ clients as compared to healthy controls (HC).</description>

<description>The transition from high school to college is a major milestone that evokes many emotions for teens. For adolescents with multicultural ethnic identities, this time represents a period in which they can explore their ethnicity more freely. However, a new study led by Kim M. Tsai of the Department of Psychology at the University of California in Los Angeles suggests that students who enroll in 4-year colleges are more in tune with their ethnic identity than those who enroll in 2-year colleges. Tsai?s study, one of the first to examine which factors influence the exploration of ethnicity in college students, focused specifically on three areas: ethnic search, ethnic belonging, and ethnic labels. The study also compared how choice of residency (home or away) influenced ethnic identity. Lastly, the study considered the level of extracurricular involvement in relation to ethnic search.</description>

<description>Value affirmations, also known as self-affirmations, are positive assessments of one?s abilities, traits, and personality qualities. Value affirmations can increase self-esteem, self-worth, and fulfillment of one?s needs. When an individual recognizes their own worth and has a strong sense of identity and autonomy, they are more willing to help others meet their needs. This relationship between self-worth and prosocial behaviors has been examined in the past, but until now, few studies have looked at the effect of value affirmations on prosocial attitudes in adolescents. Sander Thomaes of the Department of Psychology at Utrecht University in the Netherlands recently conducted a study that sought to determine if subtle value affirmations could have a short-term and long-term positive effect on adolescents? prosocial behaviors and attitudes during the crucial years of identity formation.</description>

<description>Caring for an aging parent can cause increased stress and decreased mental health. In recent years, the number of people who provide eldercare services for family members while employed outside of the home has increased dramatically. Studies have shown that the demands of eldercare have negative impacts on mental health, which in turn results in lower work performance. But until now, no study has directly examined the link between eldercare demands and job performance. Additionally, no previous studies have identified why some people who provide eldercare services do not experience negative work-related outcomes and others do. Hannes Zacher of the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia hopes that the results of her recent study will help organizations and clinicians better understand the relationship between eldercare demands and work performance so that they can target interventions and strategies that will enhance both.</description>

<description>According to a new study led by Bert N. Uchino of the Department of Psychology and Health Psychology Program at the University of Utah, ambivalent interpersonal relationships cause telomeres, chromosomal structures that maintain a person?s biological balance, to shorten. Short telomeres have been linked with increased risk for heart disease, infection, and decreased cellular life. Research has supported the theory that negative relationships are directly related to increased stress and blood pressure, but this new study is among the first to closely examine the link between ambiguous relationships and telomere length. Ambivalent relationships may not have the detrimental consequences of negative relationships, but the ambiguous nature of the relationships can cause unpredictability, stress, and anxiety. Additionally, almost half of the relationships people have are considered ambiguous, raising the question of whether or not these relationships should be evaluated more closely.</description>

<description>Although infidelity is a difficult problem to address, marriage therapy has been shown to be highly effective at treating this painful issue. Marriage education, which teaches communication and compromise, is another form of treatment. But until now, its effect on marital satisfaction for couples dealing with infidelity had not been examined. Elizabeth S. Allen of the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado in Denver, and lead author of a study that looked specifically at this treatment, explained that marriage education does not offer couples the personal experience of working directly with a therapist and is less invasive and intense than marriage counseling. Because many couples who receive marriage education may be struggling with overcoming infidelity issues, it is important to determine if the help they are receiving will actually benefit them in the long run.</description>

<description>Nearly one in 12 women who suffer with posttraumatic stress do so as a result of being raped. Although many therapies have been shown to help reduce the symptoms of rape-related PTSD, including eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) and prolonged exposure (PE), a small number of these women still do not see significant relief. Recently, researchers have looked at the coping techniques these women use as a method of predicting treatment response. Specifically, women with rape-related PTSD tend to engage in avoidant or approach coping behaviors. But research has shown that avoidant coping strategies are most likely to impede treatment outcome. ?In fact, cognitive-behavioral theories of PTSD and its treatment posit that recovery is associated with decreases in trauma-related avoidance,? said Amy S. Leiner of the Atlanta Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Georgia. Because of this, Leiner and her colleagues conducted a study to determine if women who use avoidant coping behaviors would benefit more from EMDR and PE than women who used approach coping strategies.</description>

<description>Asian-American women are just as likely to develop breast cancer as European-American women but are far more likely to die as a result. Women of Asian descent also struggle with mental health issues because of their cancer but are not as likely to find culturally and socially assimilated mental health professionals as their non-Asian counterparts. Due to this, and other factors, breast cancer has become the leading cause of mortality for Asian-American women. Psychological health is crucial for recovery from physical illness, and the scant availability of Asian-American clinicians equipped to address the language barriers that accompany this group of women increases their risk for elevated physical and psychological symptoms. However, Qian Lu of the Department of Psychology at the University of Houston believes that there may be an avenue of treatment that could address the emotional turmoil of breast cancer while crossing cultural boundaries.</description>

<description>Anyone who has experienced job burnout may also have suffered with symptoms of depression. And those who struggle with depression may find that their symptoms result in significant burnout on the job. Until now, little research has examined how these two constructs relate to each other, and more specifically, if they are interchangeable as predictors and outcomes of one another. Conservation of Resources (COR) theory is based on the presence of downward spirals, a situation that arises when an individual has a deficiency of resources in one area, which leads to the exhaustion of resources in other areas. COR theory provides an excellent foundation for examining the influence of each of these constructs on each other because depression could cause a person to be sapped of energy, thus leading to accelerated job burnout. Likewise, being overburdened at work could cause a person?s abilities to be overtaxed, leading to physical and mental exhaustion, which could accelerate symptoms of depression.</description>

<description>Peritraumatic emotional distress is a psychological condition that puts an individual at increased risk for depression and posttraumatic stress (PTSD). Specifically, peritraumatic emotional distress has been linked to increased negative self-perceptions and occurs when someone experiences a traumatic event and after. First responders and emergency personnel are especially vulnerable to peritraumatic emotional distress, and the ensuing PTSD and depression, because of the sheer volume of traumatic events that they witness. World assumptions also contribute to the development, or prevention of, peritraumatic distress. People who assume that the world is good and life has meaning are less likely to fall victim to distress from trauma. In addition, those who have a high sense of self-worth are also more resilient and tend to rely on adaptive coping mechanisms after experiencing trauma. It is well documented that both peritraumatic distress and world assumptions can lead to PTSD and depression. However, there is little research examining how these two unique factors relate to each other in the development of psychological problems.</description>

<description>Parents who struggle with a chronic illness are at increased risk for mental health challenges, particularly depression. Adults with multiple sclerosis (MS), a degenerative neurological disorder, have statistically high rates of depression, upwards of 59%. Because the illness often first manifests in early adulthood, the debilitating effects can impair child-rearing abilities and have a negative impact on parenting. Kenneth I. Pakenham of the School of Psychology at the University of Queensland in Australia recently conducted a study to determine if aspects of child and family functioning, including responsibilities, role distribution, stress, and stigma, were influenced more by the illness itself or by the accompanying depression.</description>

<description>Seeking Safety is a brief therapeutic treatment that incorporates cognitive behavioral techniques in order to decrease substance misuse in people suffering from post-traumatic stress. Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) are common in individuals who have experienced a traumatic event, and the majority of women being treated for SUDs have reported prior traumas. Because SUD and PTSD are commonly comorbid, many new treatments designed to address both issues have begun to emerge. Seeking Safety is one such a treatment.</description>

<description>Reality television depicts average people rising rapidly to instant fame. Other media outlets, including YouTube and Facebook, provide people with the opportunity to gain the attention of a virtual audience with the push of a button. Young people today are bombarded with images of fictional fame, as in the case of Hannah Montana and other television characters, and real fame, through reality programming and media coverage of athletes, musicians and actors. But how has this phenomenon affected the aspirations of our youth? Yalda T. Uhls, of the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Los Angeles, wanted to find an answer to this question.&#160; Culturally, there are different views of fame. For instance, Uhls noted that boys from wealthier countries envision a successful man as one who is relaxing or engaged in sports. In contrast, boys from economically disadvantaged countries see an ideal adult man as one with a career and responsibilities.</description>

<description>In competitive workplace environments, women often aspire to achieve status equal to their male counterparts. But a new study suggests that women who are sensitive to rejection by male superiors may engage in self-silencing behaviors that actually promote, rather than prevent sexism. Self-silencing occurs when an individual refrains from verbalizing their opinions or beliefs for fear of being rejected by a person in a position of power or authority. To determine if this act impairs a woman?s ability to achieve equality in a work environment, Bonita London of the Department of Psychology at Stony Brook University led a study examining this unique phenomenon. ?We propose that, to the extent that normatively stressful situations in institutions that have historically limited women?s participation activate concerns about gender-based rejection, women will more readily detect gender-rejection threat and, to protect against rejection, will cope by self-silencing,? said London.</description>

<description>Cannabis Use Disorder (CUD) is on the rise among military veterans with PTSD. ?Indeed, rates of PTSD diagnoses among veterans increased 60% between 2002 and 2007, and rates of CUD diagnoses within the Veterans Affairs (VA) hospital system increased more than 50% between 2002 and 2009,? said Marcel O. Bonn-Miller of the National Center for PTSD and Center for Health Care Evaluation at the VA Palo Alto Health Care System in California. However, when these vets enter treatment and discontinue their cannabis use, their symptoms linger. Anxiety increases when individuals stop using cannabis to cope with their symptoms, but until now, the cessation of cannabis in relation to PTSD symptoms had not been explored fully. To address this gap, Bonn-Miller and his colleagues conducted a study on veterans who entered treatment for PTSD with a CUD and theorized that they would have smaller treatment gains after abstaining from cannabis use than veterans without a CUD.</description>

<description>Lesbian, gay and bisexual (LGB) teens are at increased risk for suicide due to peer victimization and minority discrimination. These actions can have serious psychological consequences for teens, including plummeting self-esteem, anxiety, hopelessness and depression. ?No experience, however, is more pernicious than parental rejection,? said Gary M. Diamond of the Department of Psychology at Ben-Gurion University in Israel, and co-author of a study examining treatments to reduce suicide among LGB youth. ?Societal homophobic messages, cultural values and religious beliefs lead some parents, at least initially, to perceive their child?s same-sex orientation as perverse, immoral, disgusting, and/or dangerous,? said Diamond. This type of disapproval from parents can lead to intense negative feelings, including shame, anger and guilt, which often manifest through maladaptive behaviors. Teens that experience this type of rejection often behave violently or engage in humiliating or abusive acts. Many times the tension is so severe that the children are forced out of the home or leave voluntarily.</description>

<description>?Immediacy is the act of discussing in the here-and-now how the therapist is feeling about the patient, about himself/herself in relation to the patient, or about the patient-therapist relationship,? said A. Jill Clemence of the Department of Psychiatry at Albany Medical College. Immediacy has been shown to be a critical component of the therapeutic alliance and can have a significant impact on the client?s ability to process emotions. ?Immediacy is also conceptualized as a potent technique for managing an alliance rupture, for moving beyond a patient?s defenses, and for providing emotional support,? said Clemence, lead author of a recent study highlighting the effects of in-session immediacy.</description>

<description>Working Alliance (WA) describes the relationship between a client and therapist and the underlying bond formed during the therapeutic process.&#160; The majority of researchers believe that a strong WA is essential to a positive treatment outcome. Ethnic and racial differences between clients and therapists can impair the working alliance and therefore influence the outcome as well. ?Members of racial/ethnic minority groups may experience greater challenges in establishing a trusting therapeutic relationship due to perceived or actual cultural differences or cultural biases,? said Sherry Muterspaugh Walling of the Department of Psychology at Fresno Pacific University.</description>

<description>Socioeconomic status (SES) influences many facets of a person?s life. Researchers have theorized that low SES is associated with poor physical and mental health throughout life, but few studies have examined the long-term effects. Even fewer studies have examined how positive or negative mood, resulting from SES, influence physical health. ?Given this background, the present study examines inter-individual differences in the development of positive and negative affect and physical health as well as in the dynamic associations between emotions and physical health in the second half of life according to education as one aspect of SES,? said Ina Schollgen of the German Centre of Gerontology in Berlin, Germany, and lead author of a recent study exploring SES, affect and physical health. Previous studies have have shown that positive affect (PA) decreases in old age and negative affect (NA) decreases until age 60, then stabilizes. But Schollgen?s study is among the first to link NA and PA, as a result of SES, directly to physical health.</description>

<description>Exercise dependence is a form of addiction, similar to alcohol, drug, shopping, or pornography addiction. ?Exercise dependence, exercise addiction, obligatory, compulsive, obsessive, or excessive exercise have been some of the terms describing the same negative phenomenon when people overuse exercise, neglect other life domains, and exercise even if ill or injured,? said Irini S. Parastatidou of the Laboratory of Sport Psychology at the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science at the University of Thessaloniki in Greece. Currently there are 14 tools that are used by clinicians to identify behaviors of exercise dependence, some of which are quite old and of questionable validity. ?Among the plethora of scales to assess exercise dependence, the Exercise Dependence Scale (EDS) followed by the Exercise Dependence Scale Revised (EDS-R) shows sufficient reliability and validity values, and it is based on a strong theoretical background relative to exercise dependence and the respective DSM-IV criteria for substance dependence,? said Parastatidou. But researchers have questioned the Greek version of the EDS because certain elements may have gotten lost in translation.</description>

<description>According to a new study, men are more likely to overspend and go into debt when available women are in short supply. Sex ratio, the number of available men to available women, directly influences the quality of family life and mating patterns in adults. ?There are reasons to believe, however, that sex ratio has an even broader impact, affecting many other areas of human life,? said Vladas Griskevicius of the Department of Marketing at the University of Minnesota and lead author of the recent study examining how sex ratio impacts economics. ?Sex ratio is likely to influence consumer behavior by affecting the intensity of same-sex competition for mates.?</description>

<description>Aggressive and violent behavior is the result of strong negative emotions. However, individuals who experience avoidant negative emotions, such as fear and anxiety, tend to be less aggressive. ?The current research focuses on one trait that is linked to both negative affect and behavioral avoidance?individual differences in disgust sensitivity?that should be associated with lower levels of aggression,? said Richard S. Pond, Jr. of the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky and lead author of a recent study examining which emotions mediate aggressive behavior. ?Because disgust is a defensive emotion, people who are highly sensitive to it should be oriented towards avoidant or withdrawal types of behavior,? said Pond. ?This orientation towards behavioral avoidance is in direct conflict with physical aggression, which is approach oriented.?</description>

<description>Multisystemic Therapy (MST) is a home-based method of therapy that is designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged clients, in particular, youth from poor socioeconomic backgrounds with drug or alcohol problems, domestic violence issues and HIV, among others. ?MST interventions integrate empirically supported clinical techniques (e.g., family therapy, behavior therapy, cognitive-behavior therapy) into a broad-based social ecological framework, that addresses relevant risk and protective factors across individual (e.g., positive attitudes toward delinquency and drug use), family (e.g., poor monitoring, inconsistent or lax discipline), peer (e.g., association with drug-using and/or delinquent peers), school (e.g., behavioral problems at school, truancy, academic difficulties), and community (e.g., availability of weapons and drugs, high instability, and psychosocial stress) systems,? said Tatiana Glebova of the Couple and Family Therapy Program at Alliant International University, and lead author of a new study examining the effectiveness of a tool to measure therapists? comfort in MST delivery.</description>

<description>Little white lies are seemingly innocuous, but high-stakes lies can be a matter of life or death. Understanding the facial expressions of people who tell high-stakes lies (deceivers) could be crucial to aiding criminal investigations, and even saving lives. ?High-stakes lies can be accompanied by powerful emotions?fear, remorse, anger, or even excitement?that must be inhibited or convincingly faked,? said Leanne ten Brinke of the Department of Psychology at the Centre for the Advancement of Psychological Science and Law at the University of British Columbia. ?In particular for high-stakes lies, a deceiver must construct a consistently detailed story and communicate the deceptive information?via facial expression, speech, and body language communication channels?in a way that will maximize his or her apparent credibility.? Emotional leakage is a term used to describe the unconscious expression of suppressed emotions, and occurs when deceivers experience intense emotions. Additionally, lies are also associated with an increased blink rate and verbal deception.</description>

<description>The majority of clients diagnosed with schizophrenia have an IQ that resides below the normal range, or declines below the normal range as the disorder progresses. ?In apparent contradiction to this view, some patients with schizophrenia have been documented to have an overall IQ in the normal range, and a few have above-average performance, at least in some neuropsychological domains,? said James. H. MacCabe of the Department of Psychosis Studies at the Institute of Psychiatry at King?s College in London. ?If it were truly possible to have schizophrenia with no cognitive impairment, then this would have important implications for current etiological and neuropsychological models of schizophrenia, since cognitive deficits could not be regarded as a necessary condition for the illness.?</description>

<description>Is it possible to avoid a mid-life crisis? According to a recent study led by Joel R. Sneed of the Department of Psychiatry at Columbia University, it is possible. Identity formation is an essential part of adolescence. Many studies have examined the impact of healthy identity formation on adulthood. But few studies have examined how identity formation throughout adulthood affected well-being in mid-life. ?Identity develops as individuals transition into adult roles, such as gainful employment, committed partnerships, and parenting,? said Sneed. ?Identity can be developed either through thoughtful consideration of alternative options, or through internalizing ideals espoused by others. In either case, a strong sense of identity appears to facilitate well-being and satisfying committed relationships in adulthood.?</description>

<description>Recent research has focused on examining the cognitive abilities of people with eating issues and in particular, of women with anorexia nervosa (AN). ?These studies are important for a better understanding of AN given the possibility that cognitive deficits may (a) contribute to the development and persistence of AN, (b) result from neurological changes associated with the disease, or (c) influence the choice of treatment approaches,? said Megan E. Shott of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Colorado. More recent studies have discovered that although individuals with AN may have deficits in cognitive functioning, many of them also have very high IQs. ?These results suggest that difficulties in cognitive functioning in AN may be more specific than an impairment in general intellectual functioning, and raises the possibility that AN might impact only certain neural systems,? said Shott, who recently led a study designed to identify which types of learning were most impacted in people with AN.</description>

<description>The majority of Americans believe in a higher power or God. Eighty percent of people living in the United States are affiliated with a structured form of religion, and the majority of those people consider their faith a significant aspect of their lives. ?Thus, religion is likely to impact the lives of many counseling and therapy clients in the United States and may even play an integral part in their therapy,? said Marilyn A. Cornish of the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University. ?A number of studies have found the large majority of mental health professionals to believe that religion and spirituality are relevant to the therapeutic process.? And yet, Cornish noted, not many therapists initiate the topic of religion or spirituality in their sessions. Therefore, Cornish led a study to determine why, even though therapists believe the use of spiritual or religious interventions are appropriate, they are underutilized. ?The current online-questionnaire study was designed to describe how group counselors view and approach religion and spirituality in group counseling,? she said.</description>

<description>Extradyadic involvement (EDI), also known as infidelity, occurs in many relationships. At times, the infidelity is known to both partners, and at other times, only the participating partner is aware of the EDI. Regardless, EDIs have significant negative consequences. ?Many negative emotional and behavioral correlates of EDI have been documented including partner violence, acute anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, and symptoms similar to those of posttraumatic stress disorder,? said Christina M. Balderrama-Durbin of the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado. ?Relationship distress and dissolution are also commonly associated with EDI, with infidelity being the most frequently cited cause of divorce.?</description>

<description>Over 15 million children live in homes in which intimate partner violence (IPV) occurs. ?A sizable proportion of these children experience significant mental-health problems, but many appear to experience only mild distress, especially those drawn from community samples,? said Renee McDonald of the Department of Psychology at Southern Methodist University. ?Parent? child communications about interparent conflict may represent another important dimension of parenting for children who have been exposed to IPV.? Children who witness interparent conflict often express curiosity about the conflict. A number of mothers have reported that if asked, they would explain to their children about the conflict. However, to date, few studies have looked at that behavior to identify the influence it would have on the child?s adjustment. ?It seems plausible that mother? child communications about interparent conflict affect children?s understanding of the conflict, and theorists often point to the importance of children?s understanding of their parents? conflict in influencing children?s adjustment,? said McDonald.</description>

<description>According to a new study, people who spend more time in natural lighting than in artificial lighting have increased productivity and alertness. Light directly influences the amount of melatonin a person produces, which indirectly affects alertness. ?Most people spend their days within buildings under different lighting environments, which range from daylight to artificial light only,? said Mirjam&#160;M&#252;nch of the Solar Energy and Building Physics Laboratory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland. ?At most workplaces, there is a mixed situation between the two principal light sources.?&#160;M&#252;nch added, ?For the impact of light perception on nonvisual functions such as alertness, mood, and performance, those lighting conditions are likely to significantly contribute to modulation of alertness and productivity via the retinohypothalamic tract and melanopsin-dependent pathways.? Because few studies have examined the effects of lighting on cognitive performance,&#160;M&#252;nch and her colleagues conducted a study to determine how natural and artificial light affected cognitive functioning in the evening.</description>

<description>Asian Americans face different social stressors than their American counterparts. Some of the factors that can cause particular sensitivity include discrimination, nativity and family conflict. Yusuke Kuroki and Jacqueline L. Tilley of the Department of Psychology at the University of Southern California evaluated Asian Americans at risk for suicide to determine which cultural and social factors impacted their suicidal ideation the most. They gathered data from the National Latino and Asian American Study (NLAAS) on Asian American mental health and analyzed it using the classification and regression tree (CART) analysis. ?Ultimately, CART analysis identi?es subgroups, in which people are homogeneous in terms of dependent variables and independent variables, and creates a tree model that predicts the value for each subgroup,? said Kuroki. ?Our aims were to (a) determine the most important predictors of suicidal ideation using random forest, and (b) generate a decision tree using CART that closely mirrors the clinical decision-making process and identi?es the factors that best classify suicide attempters from non-suicide attempters.?</description>

<description>Strong mother-daughter relationships provide many positive psychological benefits for teen girls. For African-American girls with mental health problems, this relationship may also serve to prevent risky sexual behavior that could lead to sexually transmitted infections (STIs). ?Relative to other ethnic groups, African-American girls tend to initiate sex earlier, report higher rates of sexual activity during adolescence, and they account for the highest rates of chlamydia and gonorrhea,? said Erin Emerson of the Department of Psychiatry, Community Outreach Intervention Projects at the University of Illinois. ?African-American girls in psychiatric care are at even greater risk because teens with mental health problems report more sexual risk-taking than do their untroubled peers.? Emerson recently led a study to identify what factors would influence sexual activity in this segment of the population. She said, ?Guided by a social-personal framework, this study explored three mechanisms that may be associated with sexual behavior among African-American girls in psychiatric care: attachment to mothers, attachment to peers, and perceived peer norms.?</description>

<description>Bullying has become an epidemic among American youth. Adolescents are especially vulnerable to the negative mental and academic effects of bullying. ?Name-calling, which can involve homophobic epithet use, is the most frequent form of victimization experienced by sexual minority youth,? said V. Paul Poteat of the Department of Counseling, Developmental and Educational Psychology at Boston College, and lead author of a recent study examining the pattern of bullying throughout the high school years. ?Being called these epithets is associated with elevated mental health concerns and lower sense of school belonging for sexual minority and heterosexual youth.? Additionally, students who report being victimized also exhibit poorer academic performance and increased truancy and absenteeism as a result of the patterns associated with bullying behaviors. Poteat said, ?The identification of these patterns of change is critical to develop effective programs to counter this behavior, provide adequate resources, and foster environments that promote the psychological, social, and academic development of students.?</description>

<description>According to a new study, couples who have high levels of marital discord are at increased risk for coronary artery disease (CAD). ?Marital disruption (i.e., separation, divorce) and strain (i.e., conflict, dissatisfaction) predict the development of CHD (coronary heart disease) and poor prognosis for heart patients,? said Timothy W. Smith of the Department of Psychology at the University of Utah. ?The uncertain role of marital quality in early stages of coronary artery disease (CAD) before the onset of clinically apparent CHD complicates the design of CHD risk assessments and risk-reducing interventions.? Marital discord can be strongly impacted by levels of affiliation and control and gender. ?Women are sometimes more distressed by low affiliation in close relationships than are men, whereas men are often more troubled by concerns involving status or control,? said Smith.</description>

<description>Motivation is one of the core concepts of individual agency and has been shown to have a direct impact on psychological well-being. For students who are leaving college and entering the workforce, well-being is of paramount importance as they make this life-changing transition. ?Previous studies on the transition into work have yielded important insights demonstrating that young adults? agency has important consequences for their well-being, mental health, and career success,? said Claudia M. Haase of the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley, and lead author of a recent study. ?In the present study, we focus on university graduates, who, despite an advantaged position in the labor market, face increasing challenges in terms of finding a permanent, career-ladder job commensurate with their education.?</description>

<description>Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is treated in a number of ways, the most common of which is through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). ?The specific CBT protocols of cognitive processing therapy (CPT) and prolonged exposure (PE) have both been demonstrated to be efficacious in ameliorating PTSD and comorbid depression, anxiety, guilt, and anger,? said Patricia A. Resick of the Department of Psychiatry at Boston University, and lead author of a recent study examining the long-term effects of PTSD treatment in women. ?One important remaining question is whether PTSD symptom reductions resulting from CBT are long lasting.? The majority of research on the subject has only examined results extending one year or less after treatment. ?The purpose of this study is to report the findings from a long-term follow-up (LTFU) assessment of a randomized controlled trial comparing CPT with PE as the control condition because it was the most established treatment at the time, as well as a waiting list control.?</description>

Maeng of the Department of Psychology and Center for Collaborative Neuroscience at Rutgers University and lead author of the study. ?We have also noted enhanced learning as a consequence of motherhood. In this case, the act of maternal behavior itself prevents a learning deficit that occurs in virgins after exposure to a stressful life event.?</description>

<description>Casual gamblers and gamblers with addiction issues think differently when they gamble, but all gamblers appear to hold unrealistic beliefs when they gamble. ?Since erroneous beliefs tend to be directly related to risky gambling behavior, helping individuals maintain a rational perspective during gambling may protect them from taking unreasonable risks and developing a gambling problem,? said Bianca F. Jardin of the Department of Psychology at the University of Albany, State University of New York. ?Based on this reasoning, several policymakers around the world have begun to implement harm minimization strategies, such as displaying warnings in the form of pop-up messages on gambling machines.? The messages are designed to make the gambler aware of the risks associated with their behavior and also to dispel any false beliefs the gambler may hold. However, the effects of these warnings have not been researched adequately.</description>

<description>?Estimates from the U.S. Department of Justice indicate between 21% and 38% of households with partner violence had children under the age of 12 years living in the home and, among urban households, 60% of children witnessed the violence,? said Gerald Gonzales of the Department of Counseling Psychology &#38;amp; Human Services at the University of Oregon, and lead author of a recent study examining resiliency in men who experienced abuse in their childhoods. ?While the effects can vary based on frequency and severity, evidence suggests EPV places children at risk for poor physical health, increased aggression, conduct problems, antisocial behavior, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, future perpetration of violence.? However, not all children who are exposed to inter-parental violence (EPV) experience psychological or social difficulties in adulthood. ?The purpose of this study was to examine the contextual factors that contributed to the resilient development of adult men who experienced exposure to inter-parental violence (EPV) as children.?</description>

<description>Clinicians rely on varying factors to assess a client?s level of mental health. Past events, such as abuse or trauma, can help a clinician determine if the behavior a client exhibits in the present tense warrants psychological treatment. But exactly how does a clinician decide what is normal or abnormal behavior?&#160; ?The concept of psychological abnormality has long been, and continues to be, a central concept in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) and in a wide range of clinical evaluations,? said Nancy S. Kim of the Department of Psychology at Northeastern University. ?Judgments of psychological abnormality most directly speak to the fundamental issue of uncovering clinicians? true beliefs about what constitutes psychopathology.? In a recent study, Kim asked how casual context influenced a clinician?s judgment. ?Our central aim is to propose and test a proportionate-response hypothesis, such that clinicians? judgments of abnormality are influenced by whether a person?s behaviors are perceived to be a disproportionate response to past events, rendering them difficult to understand or explain.?</description>

<description>Freud believed that a client should not disclose what occurred in therapy to people outside the confines of the therapeutic alliance. ?Disclosure to others was seen as a defense against being fully engaged in the analytic relationship,? said Rachel Khurgin-Bott of the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Teachers College at Columbia University. ?In general, therapy has become more egalitarian and relational, and few contemporary therapists would likely set rules for what their patients could and could not say outside the boundaries of the therapeutic setting.? With the introduction of social networking websites, people have begun to share intimate details of their lives more frequently, including details of therapeutic experiences. Additionally, the stigma surrounding therapy has decreased. ?As a result, many individuals are far less reluctant now to acknowledge going to a therapist,? said Khurgin-Bott, lead author of a new study examining the pros and cons of disclosure. ?Whether and to what extent such acknowledgment extends to sharing the details of psychotherapy treatment are questions that have remained largely unexamined.?</description>

<description>The working alliance, a dimension of the therapeutic relationship between a therapist and client, has been shown to be an important predictor of treatment outcome. But the real relationship, the personal relationship between the client and therapist consisting of genuineness (G) and realism, may provide a more accurate forecast of treatment outcome. ?Genuineness may be seen as the participants? degree of authenticity with each other, whereas the realism element implies experiences and perceptions that ?befit the other,? rather than inaccurate or distorted perceptions that may be because of earlier unresolved conflicts,? said Gianluca Lo Coco of the Department of Psychology at the University of Palermo in Italy. ?The real relationship component of the overall therapeutic relationship is thought to exist from the first moment of contact between therapist and client, and it has been theorized to be a part of all relationships in general, and therapeutic relationships in particular.?</description>

<description>Self-disclosure by therapists, a practice that was once frowned upon in psychoanalysis, has become a commonly accepted practice. Therapists who self-disclose believe that they are benefiting their clients by sharing similar problematic situations and offering experienced resolutions. However, the effects of specific types of self-disclosure countertransference (CT) have not been examined until now. ?The definition of CT that has been used in most research, and that was employed in the present study, views CT as the therapist?s reactions to the client that are based on the therapist?s emotional conflicts and vulnerabilities,? said Yun-Jy Yeh of the Department of Counselor Education, Counseling Psychology and Rehabilitation Services at Penn State University, and co-author of the study. ?In addition to lack of agreement about how to define CT, controversies also exist about its therapeutic virtues.?</description>

<description>Adolescents who have thrill-seeking personalities are more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol. ?Among risk factors in the individual domain, sensation seeking consistently has been identified as a positive predictor of health risk behaviors (Zuckerman, 2006), including substance use,? said Alex W. Mason of the National Research Institute for Child and Family Studies in Boys Town, Nebraska, and lead author of a recent study. ?An important adolescent protective factor in the individual domain is religiosity.? Previous research has shown that religious values and church attendance heavily influence a teen and can prevent them from engaging in risky behaviors. To test this theory further, Mason led a study examining how the various aspects of religiosity affected teen substance use. ?In summary, this study examines thrill-seeking measured in early adolescence and two dimensions of religiosity, religious salience and religious attendance, measured throughout the teen years in relation to late adolescent substance use frequency among a sample of rural youth,? said Mason.</description>

<description>Older adults face unique life conditions that can contribute to stress, including declining health and loneliness. Conversely, stressful conditions can cause people to become physically and psychologically ill. ?Specifically, prior to determining which characteristics of an individual may modify the effect of perceived stress, it is useful to explore which features of a person?s life contributed to him or her appraising life as stressful in the first place,? said Stacey B. Scott of the School of Psychology at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta. ?Certain aspects of later life may be especially noxious. For example, regardless of how well or poorly an individual fares in other life domains, the presence of chronic health problems may distinguish those who are highly stressed from those who are not.? Scott, who recently led a study to determine which factors influenced stress in older adults the most, believes that combinations of factors may also increase stress. ?In an effort to address these questions, the present study explores the patterns by which life events, neighborhood strain, age-related discrimination (i.e., ageism), social isolation (i.e., loneliness), financial strain, and physical health affect the extent to which older adults perceived themselves as generally ?stressed,?? said Scott.</description>

<description>Adolescents who enter treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUD) must be ready to change their behavior in order for treatment to work. Unlike adults, many adolescents are sent to treatment against their will and do not desire to make the changes necessary to overcome their problems with alcohol. Measuring the motivation level of the adolescents, and determining what stage of readiness they are in, is a critical component to ensuring a positive treatment outcome. The three primary measures used to assess readiness to change in the adult population are the Stages of Change and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES), the Readiness Ruler (RR) and the staging Algorithm. The SOCRATES measures readiness to change through scaling, the RR is a ten question scale, and the algorithm bases its evaluation of readiness on a five stage scale.</description>

<description>?For clinical researchers, the closest thing to a gold standard for the assessment of child and adolescent depression is a semi-structured clinical interview, typically administered not just to the child but to a parent or other caregiver as well,? said David A. Cole of the Department of Psychology and Human Development at Vanderbilt University in Tennessee, and lead author of a new study examining the validity of the IRT for adolescent depression. ?The application of item response theory (IRT) to semi-structured clinical interview data can simultaneously advance the understanding of psychopathology and enhance the fidelity of its measurement.?</description>

<description>Technology has advanced by leaps and bounds over the past several decades, affording clinicians the opportunity to provide services in more unique and far reaching way ways than ever before. However, these advancements have not come without risk. ?Unfortunately, professional psychologists have also identified a number of disadvantages associated with the increased use of technology in psychological practice, including difficulties in managing electronic database and communication security, unauthorized access to client data, inappropriate disclosures of identifying information, and unethical interactions in the social-media context,? said Jason Van Allen of the Clinical Child Psychology Program at the University of Kansas. ?To further complicate matters, regulatory, ethical, and legal standards in psychology are not advancing at the same rate as technological advances. This technological adoption and infrastructure mismatch is associated with a variety of potential challenges and concerns (e.g., psychologists operating without guidance from the professional organizations or with a consensus of the professional community).?</description>

<description>Intimate relationships provide emotional support and companionship that can result in many positive psychological health benefits. But often, marriage can be a source of stress. For African-American couples, the success of their relationships can be significantly influenced by specific factors, including income and education. In a recent study, Carolyn E. Cutrona of the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University used the vulnerability-stress-adaptation model of adaptive processes, stressful life events and enduring vulnerabilities to gauge marital stability in African-American couples. ?Of particular interest in the current study was the cascading influence of enduring vulnerability factors,? said Cutrona. ?Enduring vulnerabilities are characteristics (e.g., low education level) that influence peoples? susceptibility to stressful life events and their ability to interact effectively in their relationships.?</description>

<description>Employers have long recognized the benefits of work teams. Rather than relying solely on the output of individual employees, organizations have compounded the effectiveness of their staff members by grouping them together for maximum productivity. ?The popularity of teams in organizational settings can be attributed to the numerous advantages ascribed to them,? said Caroline Aube of the Department of Management at HEC Montreal in Canada. ?In effect, the presence of work teams may contribute to improving not only the performance, the creativity, and the ?exibility of employees, but also the satisfaction of the members and the quality of life at work.? However, research has shown that the design of the team is a crucial element to its success. ?It appears, for example, that large-size teams encounter more problems of absenteeism and turnover, and that their members are less satis?ed with their work, experience more negative emotions, and present a lower level of mental health,? said Aube.</description>

<description>Group therapy is an effective treatment method due in part to the high levels of social support that exist between the group members. ?Recently, researchers have argued that the provision of support is as important for the provider as it is for the receiver, because providing support to another increases one?s personal meaning,? said Yoni Harel of the Department of Education, Counseling and Human development at Haifa University in Israel. ?Group members seek support for their stressful events and provide support to each other.?</description>

<description>Social psychologists have long examined the influences that lead groups to eliminate one another. ?Competition over a valued, scarce resource has been at the root of many struggles between ethnic groups, religious groups, nations, and other groups in close proximity to each other,? said Sterling McPherson of the Department of Psychology at Washington State University, and lead author of a recent study examining this dynamic. ?Issues related to war and mass elimination are arguably some of the biggest problems facing the world today, and are open to investigation by social psychologists.? Understanding what factors contribute to the decision to eliminate competitive groups of people could provide the foundation for interventions to prevent these types of actions that often end in violence. McPherson said, ?The ultimate goal is for social psychologists to be able to work together with other social scientists and develop a comprehensive picture of the forces at work during intergroup competition resulting in violence.?</description>

<description>Empathy is an emotion that is directly related to the bonds that were formed in childhood. ?Children from secure and loving backgrounds develop enhanced motivation and competencies for empathy and compassion for self and others, in comparison with children from insecure backgrounds,? said Helen Rockliff of the Henry Wellcome Laboratories for Integrative Neuroscience and Endocrinology at the University of Bristol in the UK, and lead author of a recent study. ?Feeling that one is the recipient of care and support from others creates a feeling of safeness and soothing linked to well-being, whereas feeling uncared for is linked to mental and physical health problems.? She added, ?The degree to which people feel secure and wanted in their current relationships is positively associated with positive affect and negatively associated with cyclothymic and dysthymic temperament in both student and bipolar disorder groups.?</description>

<description>According to a new study, individuals from Western cultures are more willing to express positive emotions than those from Eastern cultures. ?All around the world, people should generally want to feel positive emotions and avoid feeling negative emotions,? said Yuri Miyamoto of the Department of Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. ?Depending on individuals and situations, people sometimes try to down-regulate positive emotions. For example, when experiencing positive emotions, people low in self-esteem tend to become anxious and dampen their positive emotions compared with people high in self-esteem.? Miyamoto believes that cultural differences influence how people regulate their response to positive emotions. ?In Western culture, the dominant cultural script is to maximize positive emotions and minimize negative emotions,? said Miyamoto. ?Although positive emotions are generally considered to be more desirable and appropriate than negative emotions are across cultures, positive emotions are considered to be more desirable in Western cultures than in Eastern cultures, whereas negative emotions are considered to be more undesirable in Western cultures than in Eastern cultures.?</description>

<description>The formation of interpersonal bonds is critical to the maintenance of a healthy relationship. In romantic relationships, bonds are formed through a series of emotional events when people first fall in love. Although there is little research exploring exactly how autonomic reactivity affects emotional states in relationships, existing evidence has demonstrated a link. ?Autonomic reactivity and emotion regulation play an important role in the partners? communication within a romantic relationship and were found to predict marital dissatisfaction and even divorce,? said Inna Schneiderman of the Gonda Multidisciplinary Brain Research Center at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, and lead author of a study examining how autonomic reactivity affects emotions in new lovers versus single people. One way to measure the level of autonomic reactivity and vagal regulation is to gauge Respiratory Sinus Arrhythmia (RSA). Therefore, for their study, Schneiderman and colleagues from the Bar-Ilan University measured the RSA of 55 people who had recently fallen in love and 57 single people after they watched two positive films, two negative films and two films that were emotionally neutral.</description>

<description>Remission and response are two different measures used to gauge how well a client responds to treatment for anxiety disorders (AD). Children, in particular, are usually evaluated based on how their symptoms have improved, known as response. Remission, however, is a term used to describe the absence of symptoms altogether. ?An important question for clinicians, patients, and families is, what are the chances of becoming nearly symptom free?? asked Golda S. Ginsburg of the Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in Maryland. Because the majority of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) use response rates to gauge their results, Ginsburg wanted to examine how the RCTs fared based on remission. ?Identifying remission rates in RCTs is thus an important index of treatment outcome.?</description>

<description>Over one third of American children are overweight. The standard method of treating these children is behavioral therapy designed to provide the child and parents with education, nutritional knowledge, exercise techniques and the skills necessary to modify behaviors. Statistics have shown that these methods are effective and that one in three children responds positively to this type of treatment. However, two thirds of children do not. ?It is possible that the effects of biological and environmental factors cannot be overcome through behavioral therapy or that people who are overweight or obese are a heterogeneous group who do not respond to a single treatment,? said Kerri N. Boutelle of the Department of Pediatrics and Psychiatry at the University of California in San Diego. ?Thus, it is imperative to develop additional approaches to treat overweight and obese children in order to maximize efficacy for a larger number of patients.?</description>

<description>Eating problems, such as binge eating disorder (BED), occur in nearly 5% of the American population, while drug misuse affects nearly four times as many people. ?Substance abuse and binge eating are both characterized by loss of control over consummatory behaviors. Not surprisingly, these disorders share high comorbidity, particularly in relation to alcohol and cocaine dependence,? said Matthew D. Puhl of the Department of Neural and Behavioral Sciences, at Penn State University College of Medicine. ?For example, a correlation between preference for sweets and drugs of abuse has been identified in humans. In addition, several studies in rats suggest that repeated exposure to sucrose enhances behavioral sensitization to cocaine, and increases cocaine self-administration.?</description>

<description>Individuals who have avoidant attachment personalities struggle with intimacy and closeness. In romantic relationships, this type of personality can cause a partner to distance themselves from their loved one, and avoid physical closeness. ?Because avoidantly-attached people feel most comfortable with distance and detachment from their partner, they may have less of the commitment-inspired inhibition that normally prevents people from showing interest in alternatives and from engaging in infidelity,? said C. Nathan DeWall of the Department of Psychology at the University of Kentucky. ?Therefore, avoidant attachment may relate to a broad pattern of responses indicative of interest in alternatives and propensity to engage in infidelity, associations that should be mediated by a lack of commitment to one?s partner.? DeWall and his colleagues conducted a study to find out how avoidant attachment affected commitment in romantic relationships, and if the level of commitment would influence the desire to cheat. He said, ?We focus on commitment because prior evidence suggests that commitment is the most direct mediator when predicting behaviors that relate to the persistence of one?s relationship and engagement of behaviors meant to strengthen one?s relationship, accounting for variance beyond relationship satisfaction and investment in one?s relationship.?</description>

<description>The saying, ?You?re only as old as you feel,? may be more than just wishful thinking. According to a new study conducted by Steven E. Mock of the Department of Health Studies and Gerontology at the University of Waterloo in Ontario, peoples? attitudes toward aging directly influence their psychological well-being. Previous research has shown that positive beliefs about aging lead to feeling younger and negative beliefs make people feel older. ?To be specific, those who report feeling relatively old experience lower positive and higher negative affect, lower life satisfaction, lower self-esteem, lower self-efficacy, lower meaning-focused coping, higher pessimism about aging, and higher work strain than those who feel younger relative to their chronological age,? said Mock.</description>

<description>The quality of evidence-based interventions (EBIs) is directly related to the overall success of the community programs. ?First, low-implementation quality is associated with poorer EBI outcomes,? said Richard Spoth of the Partnerships in Prevention Science Institute at Iowa State University, and lead author of a new study examining the effectiveness of EBIs. ?Second, the quality of EBI implementation tends to drift over time. That is, the longer service providers are implementing a given EBI with successive cohorts of youth, the more likely the implementation is to drift to lower quality levels, absent quality controls.? Community EBIs rely on many factors to be successful. ?Thus, it is critically important to examine the ability of community-based efforts to sustain quality implementation of EBIs with successive cohorts of youth, particularly with community-based teams,? said Spoth.</description>

<description>Perfectionism is multi-dimensional, including evaluative concerns (EV) and personal standards (PS) of perfectionism. ?Whereas PS perfectionism is primarily defined by the setting of high standards per se, EC perfectionism is primarily defined by self-critical features such as concern over mistakes and doubts about actions,? said Liesbet Boone, faculty member of the Department of Developmental, Social and Personality Psychology at Ghent University in Belgium. ?Both clinical accounts and empirical studies suggest that perfectionism is strongly involved in the development and maintenance of eating disorder (ED) symptoms.? In a recent study, Boone attempted to address two specific questions relating to perfectionism and eating problems. ?Do both PS and EC perfectionism have unique relations with ED symptoms? Or is only EC perfectionism uniquely associated with ED symptoms?? asked Boone.</description>

<description>Adolescents who exhibit mild psychotic episodes will rarely go on to develop full blown clinical psychosis. ?Longitudinal studies in general population samples, using follow-up intervals from 6 months to 8 years, have shown that, in most adolescents, psychotic experiences disappear over time and do not persist into adulthood,? said J.T. Wigman of the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands. ?However, in a minority of adolescents, subclinical psychotic experiences progress to clinical psychotic illness.? In an attempt to determine what factors contribute to the later development of psychosis in teens with subclinical psychosis, Wigman conducted a study that examined minority status, cannabis use, stress, social adaptation and attention. He used parental reports to gauge the teens? behavior and also considered childhood trauma as a risk factor. Additionally, Wigman examined how often the teens received mental health care for their psychotic episodes, as previous research has shown this to be a significant predictor of further psychosis.</description>

<description>Numerous studies have proven that physical exercise can improve both physical and mental health. The most commonly used tool for gauging decreases in anxiety resulting from aerobic activity is the state anxiety sub-scale of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (SAI). However, because anxiety is often related to feelings of threat, the results of the SAI, when self-reported, may not be entirely accurate. ?One logical way to examine the construct validity of the SAI in response to exercise would be to assess the two dimensions of the SAI (cognitive and somatic) separately,? said Walter R. Bixby of the Department of Exercise Science at Elon University in North Carolina, and lead author of a recent study. ?Therefore, the purpose of this investigation was to examine the two-dimensional nature of the SAI before, during, and following acute bouts of exercise.?</description>

<description>Teachers and parents of children with ADHD know all too well how easily these special children can get distracted. The majority of research has shown that children with ADHD focus better and stay on task more when they are in an environment free from stimulation. But there is some evidence that specific stimulation can have a positive effect on these children. ?Other studies have shown that background music significantly improves performance on cognitive tasks for children with ADHD but does not impact or negatively impact the performance of non-ADHD controls,? said W.E. Pelham, Jr. of the Department of Psychology at the Center for Children and Families at Florida International University, and lead author of a study on distraction among ADHD boys. ?Despite these research findings, classroom teachers and the committees that revise the DSM continue to report and conclude that children with ADHD are more easily distracted than children without ADHD, and that distractors have only negative effects.?</description>

<description>Racial discrimination and racism can have serious negative psychological effects. Many studies have been conducted examining the relationship between racism and stress, racism and anxiety and racism and depression. However, until now, there has been no tool available to measure all of the mental health consequences of racial discrimination. In an effort to bridge this gap, Robert T. Carter of the Department of Counseling and Clinical Psychology at Teachers College at Columbia, conducted a study testing the accuracy of the Race Based Traumatic Stress Symptom Scale (RBTSSS) on 330 Asian, Black, Hispanic and White participants. Previous research has shown that many black Americans do not seek professional help for mental health issues because they believe the clinicians won?t understand their feelings about racism. Carter believes that the RBTSSS could help not only these clients, but clinicians as well. He said, ?We contend that an instrument to assess the presence of race-based emotional reactions to a specific encounter with racism or racial discrimination that could show whether the stress experienced reflected a trauma reaction would be useful to mental health professionals in several ways.?</description>

<description>Military veterans returning from Iraq and Afghanistan have reported high levels of psychological problems, according the Department of Veterans Affairs. ?This data revealed that in 2008 rates of PTSD were at 21.8%, rates of depression were at 17.4%, rates of alcohol abuse were at 7.1%, and rates of drug abuse were at 3.0%,? said Thomas W. Britt of the U.S. Army Medical Research Unit of the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in Germany. ?Although many veterans report adjustment problems following combat, only a minority of soldiers get help for their dif?culties.? Statistics show that as few as one in four soldiers that need help actually receive it. Some of the barriers that prevent military personnel from seeking help are the stigma attached to mental health problems, the affect it could have on their careers, and the availability of services. Britt believes that commissioned officers (Officers) and non-commissioned officers (NCO), both of whom are in a position of authority in the military, directly influence the stigma and access to mental health services. ?In the present research, we investigate the role positive and negative leadership behaviors have in predicting stigma and practical barriers, both between combat veterans and within combat veterans over a 3-month time period.?</description>

<description>Work and family problems often cause people who have quit smoking to relapse. Many people who smoke, or have recently quit, believe that smoking relieves negative affect (NA) and anxiety that are caused by stressful situations. One tool that is used to measure a smoker?s mood is the Negative Affect subscale of the adult Smoking Consequences Questionnaire (SCQ-A). This tool gauges how much relief from NA a smoker believes they will receive from smoking, based on a hypothetical situation. But Kenneth A. Perkins of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh believes presenting smokers with an impending mood induction scenario will provide more accurate predictions of NA reduction. To test his theory, Perkins and his colleagues conducted a study on smokers using the SCQ-A and the Immediate Negative Affect Relief (INAR), which provides a hypothetical mood induction that is much more likely to happen rather than a completely hypothetical situation. Perkins said, ?We hypothesized that the INAR would better predict actual change in NA during each context (mood-induction condition), as compared with the standard SCQ-A measure of expectancy for NA relief assessed only once and well before experiencing the context.?</description>

<description>Colleges today are faced with many obstacles that can limit treatment to depressed college students, such as budget restrictions, time constraints and too few clinicians. In order to determine if an alternative intervention, the behavioral activation of religious behaviors (BARB), would be an effective tool for treating depression in college students, Maria E. A. Armento of the Department of Psychology at the University of Tennessee, enrolled students from the university into a two-week pilot program and evaluated their progress. ?The current study involved direct manipulation of religious behaviors to assess the impact on depression symptoms in college students,? said Armento. ?Behavioral activation therapy systematically increases overt behaviors to expose patients to reinforcing environmental contingencies and corresponding improvements in thoughts, mood, and quality of life.? Previous research in this area has shown that this approach provides long-term benefits, with depressed clients experiencing relief even two years after the intervention.</description>

<description>Parkinson?s disease (PD) is a degenerative illness that can affect motor functioning, produce tremors and also lead to the development of psychological problems such as apathy, psychosis, sleep problems, anxiety and depression. ?Depression is one of the most common non-motor features of PD, with average prevalence rates in cross-sectional studies in PD reaching 40% in most populations,? said Laura B. Zahodne of the Department of Clinical and Health Psychology at the University of Florida, and lead author of a new study examining depression and apathy in people with PD. ?Apathy refers to a lack of motivation and occurs in up to 60% of patients with PD. While apathy is a common symptom of depression, it can also manifest as an independent syndrome in up to 30% of patients with PD.?</description>

<description>Dissociative disorder not otherwise specified (DDNOS) and dissociative identity disorder (DID) have been studied greatly over the past decade. Experts agree that these psychological challenges are most often the results of traumatic events and clients with DID or DDNOS respond best to treatment that targets the trauma. ?Cross-sectional and longitudinal data from a large, observational international sample of DID and DDNOS patients indicated decreased symptoms of dissociation, posttraumatic stress, depression and general distress, reductions in rates of self-injury, suicide attempts, and hospitalization, and improvements in adaptive functioning over 30 months of treatment,? said Bethany L. Brand of the Psychology Department at Towson University, and lead author of a new paper outlining the most effective forms of treatment for DID and DDNOS. ?In this article, we use unification to describe the process of a person?s sense of self shifting from that of having multiple self-states to that of a unified self.?</description>

<description>Young children who witness intimate partner violence (IPV) are at an increased risk for psychological difficulties, including emotional regulation. ?Emotional security theory suggests that witnessing violence is distressing and dysregulating for children, and repeated exposure to inter-parental conflict undermines their sense of security in the family,? said Hanna C. Gustafsson of the Center for Developmental Science at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, and lead author of a new study examining the effects of parenting on a child?s ability to consciously suppress negative emotional responses. ?Thought to emerge during the first year of life, this type of volitional control has been shown to become more stable during the preschool years,? said Gustafsson. ?Learning how to focus attention and effectively regulate behavior is important for a successful transition to school, and self-regulatory skills at the transition to school have been shown to be predictive of both short- and long-term outcomes for children.?</description>

<description>Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is an empirically supported treatment strategy for people struggling with eating problems, such as bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa. However, research suggests that many clinicians do not adhere to, but rather drift from, the core principles of CBT for eating issues. ?Why do many clinicians fail to apply empirically supported treatments?? asked Glenn Waller of the Eating Disorders Section of the Institute of Psychiatry at King?s College in London. ?They often state that the research does not apply to their patient group.? But evidence shows that CBT is very effective for eating problems. Waller believes that many clinicians do not follow the guidelines set forth in treatment manuals for eating disorders and that this omission leads to compromised results. He also theorizes that the clinician?s own anxiety about upsetting their client adds to the likelihood of drift. He said, ?Therefore, it can be hypothesized that anxious clinicians are less likely to require patients to adhere to core behavioral elements of CBT (e.g., changing eating patterns).?</description>

<description>With the advent of internet dating, romantic partners are often first experienced on the page rather than in person. In a new study, Paul W. Eastwick of the Department of Psychology at Texas A&#38;amp;M University examined how romantic ideals change from the printed profile to the in-person encounter. ?Specifically, these studies tested whether the match between one?s ideal partner preferences and the traits that one perceives in a romantic partner predicts relational outcomes across several different contexts,? said Eastwick. &#160;?The present research examined the circumstances under which relational outcomes (e.g., romantic desire, commitment) are predicted by the match between (a) the traits that characterize one?s ideal romantic partner and (b) one?s perception of the traits of a specific individual who is or has the potential to be a romantic partner. We refer to this predictive association between ideal-perceived trait match and relational outcomes as the predictive validity hypothesis for ideal partner preferences.?</description>

<description>One of the most debilitating elements of schizophrenia is the erosion of neurocognitive skills. People with schizophrenia often struggle with social adaptation, employment and other areas of daily functioning as a result of diminished neurocognition. Research has shown that verbal capacity is an effective measurement of intelligence and cognitive abilities in people who have neurocognitive disorders and those who do not. ?In healthy populations, oral vocabulary scores correlate highly with overall measures of IQ and are considered the single best predictor of overall IQ,? said Matthew M. Kurtz of the Department of Psychology and Program in Neuroscience and Behavior at Wesleyan University. ?Studies that have investigated the relationship of intellectual capacity and neurocognitive function have most often done so in the context of similarities and discrepancies between estimated premorbid and postmorbid IQ and their relationship to neurocognitive function revealed that individuals with schizophrenia with low estimated premorbid IQ and low current full-scale IQ show most severe&#160; neurocognitive de?cits with particularly marked impairment in executive function and memory in some studies, and attention, executive function, language and visuospatial function in others.?</description>

<description>More people will care for an aging parent in the coming years than ever before. Advances in modern medicine have extended life expectancy and the relationship between the aging and their caregivers, whether they are family members or not, is of critical importance. ?Arguably, at no time is understanding care-seekers? wishes more important than when care-seekers are incapacitated, especially when life-or-death decisions about medical interventions are required,? said Bulent Turan of the Department of Psychology at the University of Alabama, Birmingham, and lead author of a recent study. ?In this study, we assessed surrogates? decision makers? accuracy in predicting their older relatives? end-of-life health care wishes?whether they would choose intensive and painful life-sustaining procedures or would refuse those treatments in order to maximize the quality of their remaining life.?</description>

<description>Swearing, an almost involuntary behavior for some, is a phenomenon that has received little attention from researchers. Studies have been conducted on the effects of swearing on pain, suggesting that swearing can actually reduce pain. But the research that exists is narrow and does not explore biological or social factors related to swearing. To fill that evidentiary void, Megan L. Robbins of the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona, recently led a study examining the social consequences of swearing. ?Based on these ideas, this study explored the degree to which swearing can have deleterious consequences for health, despite any potential for immediate (pain relieving) benefits,? said Robbins. ?The current project investigated the relationship between swearing and adjustment to coping with illness.?</description>

<description>The number of children born through surrogacy has increased dramatically in the past several decades, up from 2,000 just fifteen years ago to over 17,000 in 2007. Susan Golombok of the Centre for Family Research, Faculty of Politics, Psychology, Sociology and International Studies at the University of Cambridge, has conducted prior research on surrogacy and preschool-aged children, but recently led a new phase of the study examining the effects of surrogacy on older children. ?There are two types of surrogacy: traditional surrogacy, in which the surrogate mother and the commissioning father are the genetic parents of the child, and gestational surrogacy, in which the commissioning mother and father are the genetic parents,? said Golombok. ?Thus, children born through gestational surrogacy lack a gestational link with their mother, and children born through traditional surrogacy lack both a gestational and a genetic link.?</description>

<description>Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have an impaired ability to imitate sounds and gestures. This behavior is one of the early signs of ASD, but has rarely been examined in children under the age of 24 months. ?Examination of early developmental trajectories of imitation between 12 and 24 months, when imitation increases so dramatically in typical development, could illuminate the process of imitative development in ASD and could reveal important relationships with motor development, language, and other social behaviors,? said Gregory S. Young of the Medical Investigation of Neurodevelopmental Disorders (M.I.N.D.) Institute, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the University of California, Davis and lead author of a recent study examining imitation in children at risk for ASD. ?Thus, one of the primary aims of the current study was to collect prospective longitudinal data on imitation skills from 12 to 24 months in children who are later diagnosed with ASD at 36 months.?</description>

<description>Rumination is often associated with depression. People who ruminate about negative events tend to be more susceptible to develop depression. But little research has been conducted to explore how rumination affects the manic or depressive states of bipolar disorder (BD). To fill this void, June Gruber of the Psychology Department at Yale University, led a study to determine how negative and positive rumination influence the onset of episodes in people with bipolar. Emotional regulation is a main component of bipolar and strategies used to regulate emotion directly impact how an individual will respond to a mood induction. ?The cognitive model of BD proposes that the use of amplification versus dampening strategies largely depends on one?s appraisals of changes in one?s internal or external state,? said Gruber.</description>

<description>According to a new study led by Francesca Gino of the Harvard Business School, creative people tend to rationalize dishonest behavior more than less creative types. Creativity has been examined through a psychological lens for many years. The act of thinking creatively requires cognitive flexibility and divergent thinking. ?Divergent thinking refers to the ability of individuals to develop original ideas and to envision multiple solutions to a given problem,? said Gino. ?Cognitive flexibility, by contrast, describes the ability of individuals to restructure knowledge in multiple different ways depending on changing situational demands (i.e., the complexity of the situation. Typically operating together, divergent thinking and cognitive flexibility help people find creative solutions to difficult problems, which may be interpreted from different points of view.? The challenge arises when creative people are faced with a situation that will benefit them if they cheat or lie just a little. ?When facing the opportunity to behave dishonestly, in fact, most people cheat, if only by a little bit, but not as much as they possibly could,? said Gino. For her study, she theorized that if creative people were put in such a situation, they would be more dishonest than non-creative individuals.</description>

<description>Turning points are life experiences that permanently change the course of one?s life. The death of a parent, a divorce, or even a geographical move are all examples of turning points that can have a positive or negative affect on an individual. ?The most defining characteristic of a turning point, however, remains that the event is perceived as significant or life-changing to the individual,? said Royette Tavernier of the Department of Psychology at Brock University, St. Catharines in Canada, and author of a recent study. How individuals process those turning points is referred to as meaning-making and is theorized to affect well-being. ?The purpose of this study was to examine whether meaning-making within turning point narratives, as well as the timing of these turning points, would be associated with psychological wellbeing among a sample of Grade 12 high school adolescents,? said Tavernier.</description>

<description>Dreams have long been the subject of psychology. ?Studies of dream content have often relied on diaries collected as part of a therapeutic context,? said Steven J. Hoekstra of the Department of Psychology at Kansas Wesleyan University and lead author of a new study. ?This study wanted to explore the racial dimension of dreams, particularly the degree to which the dreams? social demographic characteristics re?ected the experiences of the dreamer.? Hoekstra and his colleagues wanted to determine if people dream in racial color and if so, to what extent. They also wanted to know if the racial content of a dream was based on experience, exposure to media, or other influences. ?The identity of the individual also could serve as a source of dream content, where the self would serve as a referent and inner self issues could be expressed in one?s dreams,? said Hoekstra.</description>

<description>Every individual responds to therapy in their own way. Some people have sudden enlightenments during therapy, while others see a gradual reduction in symptoms little by little between their therapy sessions. These reductions in symptom severity are called sudden gains and are common among people receiving treatment for depression and anxiety. Previous research has shown that one of the biggest benefits of sudden gains is the residual effect they have. ?Individuals who experienced sudden gains reported lower levels of depressive symptoms at post-treatment, 6 months following treatment and 18 months following treatment, compared with individuals who did not experience sudden gains,? said Idan M. Aderka of the Department of Psychology at Boston University, and lead author of a recent analysis of sudden gains. ?These findings suggested that sudden gains were related to better treatment outcome at termination and at follow-up.?</description>

<description>Living with a chronic illness is challenging at any age, but can be especially daunting, physically and psychologically, for teens. ?For adolescents and young adults (AYAs), the ongoing management of chronic illness can impose physical, emotional, and financial dependence at the time when increasing autonomy is the developmental goal,? said Ursula M. Sansom-Daly ofthe School of Psychology at the University of New South Wales in Australia. ?During this stage, individuals engage in identity formation, establish social competence, balance family and peer influences, develop and explore sexuality, and adapt to emerging intellectual abilities. Not achieving these significant milestones places individuals at heightened risk for poor adaptation within their future adult roles.? Additionally, pain from the illness and side effects resulting from treatment, also impair the teens? ability to achieve normal levels of social functioning. Sansom-Daly said, ?It appears that a young person?s capacity to negotiate the effects of their illness, while navigating complex social relationships, is key to successfully managing these developmental disruptions.?</description>

<description>Young adults face an extremely competitive job market as a result of the recession. Young people who may have once had high aspirations for an academic or professional career may struggle if they are not able to modify those aspirations if those jobs become unattainable. ?Whereas there is a large body of research on adolescent aspirations and achievement-related behaviors in the status attainment tradition and considerable interest in agentic action in the literatures of life course and life span development, little attention has been directed to the psychological orientations and behaviors in the post-adolescent period that foster achievement in the labor market in early adulthood and help young workers to weather turbulent economic times,? said Mike Vuolo of the Department of Sociology at Purdue University and lead author of a recent study exploring agency and aspirations. ?The maintenance of high aspirations, the crystallization of career goals, and intensive job search behavior may be particularly important in this regard. But even in the worst recessions, some individuals suffer great losses while others remain relatively unscathed.?</description>

<description>Some people insist they have been called to a specific vocation, while others merely work a job. ?Scholars from a variety of disciplines have begun to explore what it means to have a calling and how this relates to outcomes, consistently finding calling to be associated with enhanced work-related and general eudemonic well-being,? said Ryan D. Duffy of the Department of Psychology at the University of Florida. ?Moreover, barriers may exist that limit people?s abilities to carry out their callings, thereby impeding the potential positive psychological effects of having one.? Duffy recently led a study to discover if people who were living their calling were more satisfied and committed in their jobs than those who were not. In other words, Duffy asked, ?More simply, what is it about having a calling that makes individuals more satisfied at school and work??</description>

<description>Puberty is a time of emotional and physical development. It is also a time when many girls start exhibiting the first signs of eating problems. ?Rates of bulimic symptoms increase significantly with advancing pubertal development and predict the development of BN later in adolescence,? said Kelly L. Klump, Ph.D. of the Department of Psychology at Michigan State University, and lead author of a recent study exploring bulimic trends in adolescent rats. ?Early maturing girls are at increased risk for BN (bulimia nervosa) and binge eating both during and after puberty.? Most girls who develop food issues usually do so later in adolescence, but new research is suggesting that symptoms that are present prior to puberty and in early adolescence may predict the development of more severe food problems later on. Klump said, ?The presence of increased pubertal risk for binge eating in animals would provide strong confirming evidence of biological influences, as animals do not experience key psychological risk factors (e.g., increased body dissatisfaction) during puberty.?</description>

<description>Feelings of psychological defeat are common symptoms of many mental health problems. In some research, psychological defeat has been linked to the onset of psychosis and other challenges. ?Defeat may also contribute to the development and maintenance of schizophrenia,? said Judith Johnson of the School of Psychology at the University of Birmingham in the UK and lead author of a recent study on defeat and emotion. ?Perceptions of defeat have been associated with the onset and exacerbation of a range of psychiatric conditions and disorders, including depression, anxiety, and suicide,? said Johnson. ?Thus, the aim of the current research was to investigate the extent to which the emotion regulation strategy of reappraisal moderated the impact of failure on perceived defeat among both a nonclinical sample and individuals diagnosed with a schizophrenia-spectrum disorder, for whom perceived defeat may be particularly important.?</description>

<description>The majority of Americans will not have enough money in retirement to maintain their current standard of living. ?One provocative explanation for this problem involves the notion, advanced by theorists in philosophy and economics, that a person at two different points in time is not really the same person,? said Christopher J. Bryan of the Department of Psychology at Stanford University. ?Moreover, the tendency to think about the future self as another is associated with a reluctance to make short-term sacrifices to ensure longer-term well-being, suggesting that this way of thinking may be a significant barrier to saving for retirement.? Bryan and his colleagues designed an intervention that would help motivate individuals to save more for retirement by tapping into their benevolent tendencies. Bryan said, ?We designed a message to appeal to people?s sense of social responsibility to a future self who is heavily dependent on them?a sense of moral responsibility closely akin to that felt toward other people, such as family members, friends, and others whose welfare is of concern.?</description>

<description>Evaluating and assessing someone?s need for care is a critical component of acting as an effective and objective caregiver. However, according to a new study led by S. Jeffrey Bailey of the Department of Psychology at the University of New Brunswick Saint John in Canada, the attachment style of a caregiver can influence how they respond to a patient?s needs. ?The Social Communication Model of Pain raised the possibility that characteristics of those observing pain may also in?uence evaluations of individuals experiencing pain and that these evaluations could in?uence caregiving responses directed to those in pain,? said Bailey. ?Attachment theory is a well-supported biopsychosocial framework for investigating reactions to others in distress that holds promise for developing a more complete understanding of factors involved in evaluating individuals experiencing pain.?</description>

<description>Just as death is ultimately always the result of a heart that stops beating, the death of a marriage is always the result of marital dissatisfaction. The unhappiness could be caused by infidelity, addiction, loss of trust, anger, or a number of other issues, but divorce usually occurs because one or both partners has reached a point where they no longer find any satisfaction in the marriage. Some committed couples, who are dependent on the marital bond, may eventually throw in the towel as a result of dissatisfaction, and yet others do not. Dominik Schoebi of the Department of Psychology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland theorized that perhaps commitment affected marital persistence even when a couple was dissatisfied. ?Dependence and commitment do go hand in hand in the investment model, but whereas dependence is theorized to be a structural property of dyads, commitment is viewed as a psychological state that captures more directly the experience of being in the relationship and being joined to another person within it,? said Schoebi.</description>

<description>The leadership structure of a group therapy environment has a direct influence on how the participants respond, according to a new study led by Dennis M. Kivlighan, Jr. of the Department of Higher Education and Special Education at the University of Maryland in College Park. ?Co-leadership describes a group therapy leadership structure in which two therapists are partnered to facilitate meaningful interactions among group members,? said Kivlighan. ?Today, co-leadership is a widely used leadership structure across various mental health, and is often utilized in the training of group psychotherapists.? Leadership structure can have advantages for a group, but can also have disadvantages. Kivlighan said, ?For example, large groups often out-perform small group including time, energy, and expertise. Unfortunately, in larger groups, there is also more con?ict, absenteeism, and less cooperation than in smaller groups.? He added, ?Finally, members of large groups are less satis?ed with their group.?</description>

<description>According to new research, mothers who take longer maternity leaves are able to manage work related and family stress when they return to the workforce better than those who return to work immediately after giving birth. Additionally, the longer a mother spends with her newborn before returning to work, the more confident she is in her decision. Bettina S. Wiese of the Department of Psychology at RWTH Aachen University in Germany recently led a study that explored how stress and the length of maternity leave affected a woman?s confidence in her decision to return to work. ?Because, at present, most women return to paid work after becoming a mother, this transition must be considered as a rather normative developmental task,? said Wiese. ?The return-to-work transition, however, is not completed on the day of reentry but rather comprises the time until the women feel like and are seen as fully (re)integrated organization members. The present study concerns this later phase, when women must actually deal with the first weeks of dual affordances at the workplace and at home.?</description>

<description>Sleep disruption caused by obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) affects nearly 5% of people throughout the world and upwards of 15% of Americans. OSA is characterized by respiratory interruptions that cause a person to wake from sleep in order to begin breathing again. Medically, these conditions are referred to as hypoxia and sleep fragmentation. ?Daytime sleepiness and hypoxia of the brain are associated with cognitive deficits, such as impaired working memory, attention, and psychomotor problems,? said Sara Olsen of the Psychology Department at Royal Brisbane and Women?s Hospital in Australia. ?Hypoxia of the heart increases the risk of heart-related diseases, such as hypertension.? Overall, lack of sleep and impaired cognition can lead to decreased physical health and increased risk for injury, such as car accidents.</description>

<description>A new study involving people with bipolar suggests that setting extrinsic goals may be a predictor for manic episodes. Individuals with bipolar disorder are aware that setting high goals can cause them to get overstimulated and result in a manic episode. ?The reward sensitivity model has been found to be useful in predicting the course of mania; indeed, increases in mania over time have been predicted by self-reported reward sensitivity, life events involving reward, and elevations in behavior focused on attaining reward and goals,? said Sheri L. Johnson of the Department of Psychology at the University of California at Berkeley, and lead author of a recent study examining the relationship between reward sensitivity and the development of bipolar. ?People with bipolar disorder appear to value goal pursuit more than do other people.?</description>

<description>Traditional therapy does not always appeal to most men; therefore, unique approaches have been designed to encourage men to embark on the journey of self-discovery. One approach, Adventure Therapy (AT), has received little focus but offers traditional therapy strategies in an adventurous and active environment. ?Adventure activities range from short-term initiatives and trust-building activities lasting several hours to wilderness-based adventure experiences (e.g., camping, backpacking, rock climbing) lasting days, weeks, or months,? said David E. Scheinfeld of the Department of Educational Psychology at the University of Texas at Austin. ?These experiential activities are opportunities for intra- and interpersonal development.? He added, ?Because of the challenge of living in the wilderness, participants have also shown progress in teamwork, communication, physical ?tness, and creative problem-solving.? Based on previous research that has demonstrated the positive effects of group therapy for men, Scheinfeld led a study to see if AT would provide similar results.</description>

<description>In the last several decades, more than 3 million children have been born with the help of an anonymous donor or gamete donation. These children are often raised by two parents, with whom only one of which they are biologically connected. ?Those who become parents through assisted reproductive procedures involving gamete donation tend not to tell their children about their donor conception; thus, the majority of children conceived in this way remain unaware that the person they know as their father (in the case of sperm donation) or their mother (in the case of egg donation) is not their genetic parent,? said Susan Golombok of the Centre for Family Research and faculty member of Politics Psychology Sociology and International Studies at the University of Cambridge in the UK.</description>

<description>According to a new study, emotional competence (EC), the ability to understand, manage, express and use emotions, is a skill that can be learned. There are three levels of EC that affect every area of one?s life, knowledge, focus and ability. Knowledge is how much an individual understands about their own emotions. Focus is how well someone is able to manage their emotions and emotional responses. And Ability refers to how a person uses their emotional knowledge to cope with a specific situation in order to achieve a desired outcome. ?At a psychological level, higher trait EC is associated with greater well-being and higher self-esteem as well as a lower risk to develop psychological disorders,? said Delphine Nelis of the Department of Psychology at the University of Liege in Belgium, and lead author of the study. ?Socially, higher ability?trait EC is related to better social and marital relationships and, all things being equal, to a greater likelihood of being chosen as a romantic partner. Workwise, higher trait EC is associated with greater academic achievement and higher ability?trait EC is associated with higher job performance,? said Nelis. ?Ability?Trait EC is also linked to the likelihood of adopting unhealthy behaviors such as smoking, excessive drinking, and reckless driving.?</description>

A recent article, published an open letter from Dr. Don Locke, president of the American Counseling Association (ACA), to Dr. John Oldham, President of the American Psychiatric Association, which outlines the primary concerns the mental health community has with the proposed revisions to the diagnostic tool that has been relied on by medical professionals for decades. Locke summarizes the collective concerns by saying, ?Our concerns focus on empirical evidence, dimensional and cross-cutting assessments, field trials, the definition of mental disorder, and transparency,? says Locke, speaking on behalf of the 120,000 licensed mental health professionals within the United States.</description>

<description>When someone is asked to predict their emotional reaction to a future, hypothetical event, they usually underestimate how they will respond, according to previous research. However, a new study, led by Heather C. Lench of the Department of Psychology at Texas A&#38;amp;M University, suggests otherwise. ?In past research the tendency to neglect context when predicting future emotions, called focalism, has been shown to result in overestimation of future emotion,? said Lench. ?In the present investigation, we address the possibility that people?s distress in this situation may actually be more intense than they predict because they fail to account for how the context of the party will focus their attention on the negative event.? The way someone predicts their emotional state impacts nearly every decision they will make. ?Thus, people should make better decisions and spend their time and resources more effectively if they can anticipate the intensity of their future emotional reactions.?</description>

<title>Therapist Self-Disclosure Decreases Stigma of Therapy for Clients</title>

<pubDate>Wed, 23 Nov 2011 22:00:18 GMT</pubDate>
<description>One of the primary reasons people neglect to seek treatment for their mental health problems is because they are concerned about the external and internal stigmas associated with mental illness. Public stigma is the external belief that one is defective if they receive therapy for their problems, while self-stigma is the perception that an individual has of his or herself as a result of struggling with a mental health issue. In a recent study led by Nathaniel G. Wade of the Department of Psychology at Iowa State University, researchers examined how therapist self-disclosure affected stigma. ?The goal of this investigation was to explore stigma before and after an initial session of group counseling and to examine aspects of the counseling process (e.g., session quality, working alliance, counselor self-disclosure) that may predict changes in stigma,? said Wade. Most therapists already self-disclose and share their moral beliefs, fears and hopes with their clients. ?Some of the main reasons therapists may choose to self-disclose are to make themselves more accessible to clients, to develop the working alliance, and to build greater trust in the therapeutic relationship.? Wade added, ?In other words, clients are likely to feel less self-stigma when working with a group counselor that they trust and view positively as, in such situations, the threat to one?s self-esteem and confidence is less likely.?</description>

<description>Engaged couples form patterns of positive and negative behavior that can predict their marital satisfaction. ?Serious marital dissatisfaction predicts increased risk for a major depressive episode, even when controlling for history of depression,? said Rebecca E. Osterhout of the New Mexico Veterans Affairs Health Care System, and lead author of a new study examining how engaged couples? interactions predict marital satisfaction. ?Marital distress and divorce are also associated with negative child and family outcomes (e.g., poorer parenting, increased parent-child conflict, increased risk for child conduct, emotional, and behavioral problems).?&#160; Because the engagement period provides a map for the direction the marriage will ultimately take, it is a vital time for developing adaptive strategies. ?With this in mind, the current study examined the association of two empirically established predictors of relationship distress in married samples, dyadic behavior and maladaptive attributions, in a sample of engaged couples reporting high levels of relationship satisfaction.?</description>

<description>Chronic sleep problems are common, but can have serious mental and physical consequences. ?Sleep deprivation at its worst is literally torturous; even mild chronic sleep deprivation changes brain chemistry and physiology, leading to deterioration of cognition, memory, and mood,? said Dolores T. Puterbaugh, a licensed marriage and family therapist and author of a recent article emphasizing the therapist?s role in helping a client overcome sleep problems. Puterbaugh believes that many of the techniques being used for various mental health challenges can also be used to improve a client?s sleep patterns. ?Counselors are trained in addressing the intersection of cognition, behavior, and emotional distress; their code of ethics also emphasizes the importance of interdisciplinary consultation in treating complex client problems whenever that is appropriate, said Puterbaugh.</description>

<description>Being the target of bullying can cause a child to internalize and experience a decrease in self-worth. Many children who are victims of bullying become isolated and withdrawn, and often have a limited social circle of friends. ?Because many of the correlates and predictors of peer victimization are common in children with ADHD, it is not surprising that children with ADHD are at elevated risk for peer victimization,? said Stephanie L. Cardoos of the Department of Psychology at the University of California, Berkeley. ?Although more is known about risk factors for victimization than about protective factors, one well-established protective factor for those at risk of victimization is friendship.? Cardoos and her colleague Stephen P. Hinshaw recently conducted a study to determine what affect friendship would have on bullying. ?The overall purpose is to understand factors that may both predict and protect &#160;against peer victimization in girls with ADHD, with a particular focus on friendship as a protective factor,? said Cardoos.</description>

<description>Identifying psychopathy in children is often the first step in predicting or preventing the development of further psychological and behavioral problems. Research has linked psychopathy to aggression, impulsivity and externalization in children. ?Such findings suggest that interventions that ameliorate child psychopathic features, in addition to child conduct problems, would offer a significant public health benefit,? said Renee McDonald of Southern Methodist University in Texas, and lead author of a recent study examining the effects of positive parenting on child psychopathy. ?Consistent with this, some reviewers have concluded?primarily from results of research with adults and adolescents?that interventions can indeed exert positive effects on psychopathic features.?</description>

<description>College in London theorized that self-reports and parent reports of symptomology would provide a more accurate picture of a child?s overall behavior. ?This study uses an alternative approach to the question of youth BP starting at the level of individual symptoms that occur during an episode of elated mood,? said Goodman of his recent study. Goodman and his colleagues were concerned mostly with bipolar not otherwise specified (BPNOS), a condition that previous research has suggested eventually develops into BPI or BPII. ?These findings suggested that BP-NOS?defined by having episode durations of less than 4 days?is important and may be on a spectrum with BP-I and BP-II,? said Goodman. ?However, the particularly poor agreement between parent- and child-reported episodes and the fact that they did not increase in duration with advancing age did cast some doubt on the validity of BPNOS and whether it was on a continuum with BP-I and BP-II.?</description>

<description>People who work in AIDS service organizations (ASOs) are at increased risk for stress from several factors, including heavy caseload, fear of contamination, poor working conditions and stress associated with delivering a life-threatening diagnosis. ?Recommended guidelines exist to help medical practitioners prepare for and communicate bad news, yet many individuals have still expressed stress,? said Zachary Y. Kerr, M.P.H., M.A., of the Department of Epidemiology, Gillings School of Global Public Health at The University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill. ?In addition, at many ASOs, an HIV test counselor is usually a volunteer or staff person who holds other responsibilities. These individuals, although trained to HIV test counsel, may not have the advantage of a related educational background or hold a higher degree in clinical psychology/ therapy as those in previous samples exploring burnout.?</description>

<description>Sexual assault can significantly change how a woman lives her life. Many women who have been sexually assaulted look for methods of protection in order to avoid being victimized again. Some purchase guns, tasers or mace. Others acquire dogs for protection. And many women enroll in modern self-defense training (MSDT) classes in order to gain a sense of empowerment, strength and to reduce feelings of helplessness. ?The primary goal of MSDT programs is teach participants how to avoid and resist sexual assault,? said Kimberly Ball of Health Professions and Technologies at Oakland Community College. ?Traditional martial arts (TMA), boxing, and wrestling skills are typically taught, as well as preventative skills. Contrary to this misconception, karate, one type of TMA, is geared toward both ?ghting and tactics that can be used for escaping assault.?</description>

<description>Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) has been identified as one of the most effective forms of therapy for veterans with PTSD resulting from combat. Veterans from Vietnam, Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) and Operation New Dawn (OND), along with Gulf War Veterans, struggle with PTSD as a result of trauma experienced during their service. However, although these veterans may realize some relief of their PTSD symptoms with PE, the effectiveness of the therapy is directly related to the type of trauma the veterans experienced. ?The purpose of the current study is to compare PTSD and related outcomes in veterans from various combat theaters, OEF/OIF/OND, Gulf War, Vietnam, receiving a manualized Prolonged Exposure (PE) intervention for PTSD in a southeastern VA Medical Center,? said Matthew Yoder of the Ralph H. Johnson VA Medical Center and Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina in Charleston, and lead author of the study.</description>

<description>Pregnancy is a time of anticipation for mothers and fathers. Both parents hold expectations of how they will succeed at accomplishing parenting tasks, and how they will adjust to the new baby and each other after the birth. ?As with most research on the transition to parenthood, the majority of the literature focuses exclusively on the mother while neglecting the perspective of the father,? said Susanne N. Biehle of the Department of Psychology at Kent State University. ?Because the transition to parenthood is typically experienced jointly by the mother and father, it is important to understand the potential interplay that can occur between partners and how it may impact the development of parenting efficacy.? Biehle looked at three specific factors relating to parenting efficacy: performance accomplishment, emotional arousal and verbal persuasion, to see how each influenced the development of parenting skills both pre- and post-partum. ?Parenting efficacy is a specific aspect of self-efficacy which examines how competent a parent feels about their ability to positively influence both the development and behavior of their child.? Biehle added, ?High levels of efficacy can increase a parent?s ability to engage in better parenting practices, whereas low levels of parenting efficacy have been associated with feelings of anxiety, depression, and distress.?</description>

<description>Nearly 20 percent of adolescents will have experienced a major depressive episode by the time they reach the age of 18, with twice as many girls becoming depressed as boys. ?One possible explanation for the emergent sex difference in depression is a sex difference in rumination, which is the tendency to respond to negative events with perseverative attention on negative stimuli,? said Jordan Simonson, M.A., of the Department of Clinical Psychology at Seattle Pacific University and lead author of a recent study examining the differences in rumination between males and females. ?Females report greater rumination than males, and this sex difference partially accounts for the sex difference in depression.? Simonson and a team of researchers sought to determine what role gender plays in trait rumination and state rumination, response to a particular event, in teens.</description>

<description>The two most popular residential treatment settings for substance abuse recovery are therapeutic communities (TCs) and Oxford Houses (OHs). Both of these climates provide social support as a tool for recovery. ?Sharing a living space with others in substance abuse recovery might encourage mutual self-help participation and increase social support, which are associated with longer periods of abstinence,? said Ronald Harvey from the Center for Community Research at DePaul University in Chicago, and lead author of a recent study comparing the social climate of TCs versus that of OHs. ?Supportive social relationships within such settings might protect people in recovery from relapse and improve overall substance abuse recovery rates.?</description>

<description>At-risk youth are more prone to violence than children from higher socioeconomic conditions. ?Members of speci?c demographic groups, especially males and African Americans, are at particular risk for involvement in serious forms of violence and related negative health and social sequelae,? said S.A. Stoddard of the School of Nursing at the University of Michigan, and lead author of a recent study exploring the effects of hopelessness and violence. ?Youth who participate in violence are at risk for potentially life-threatening outcomes, including imprisonment, injury, and death.? Adolescence is a time of emotional change, and it is during this time that violence and aggression intensify, laying the groundwork for problems in other areas of a child?s life. ?Violence involvement during adolescence is also a potent risk factor for ongoing violence involvement into young adulthood,? said Stoddard. ?At the individual level, factors correlated with poor academic achievement, (e.g., impulsivity, attention and learning problems, and antisocial behavior) have been associated with higher levels of violence involvement.?</description>

<description>Failure is a part of life. How an individual perceives their failure gives an indication of their overall sense of well-being and adjustment. Reflecting on past failures through imagery can provide even further detail into the one?s coping strategies. ?As people recall and imagine life events, they often form mental images of those events and may do so from different visual perspectives,? said Lisa K. Libby of the Department of Psychology at Ohio State University. ?With the first-person perspective, one sees the event from their own vantage point, as an actor in the scene; with the third-person perspective, one sees the event from an external vantage point, watching the self. This subtle phenomenological variable can have powerful effects on responses to pictured events, influencing judgment, emotion, and behavior.? Libby was interested to see if this shift in perspective was influenced by self-esteem, or if self-esteem played a role in how perspective affected one?s perception of failure. ?One of the most well documented differences between low- and high-self-esteem individuals (LSEs and HSEs) is in how they react to failure: LSEs have more extreme negative reactions,? said Libby. ?In particular, LSEs are prone to overgeneralize, a response style that is characterized by ?a tendency to bring thoughts of personal inadequacy to mind and/or experience a reduction in the sense of self-worth.??</description>

<description>Live coaching is a technique that is helpful to parents of children who have experienced a traumatic brain injury (TBI). In the traditional setting, live coaching is conducted with the therapist behind a one-way mirror. The therapist instructs the parent on how to interact and respond to their cognitively-impaired child. The parent then responds through an earpiece. Although this method of treatment has proven to be effective, it is not always logistically or economically feasible. ?Pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of several complex, low-incidence conditions for which skilled providers may not be available in a given community,? said Shari L. Wade of the University of Pittsburgh. ?TBI can result in parental distress, as well as long-term changes in a child?s cognitive and academic abilities, behavior, and social skills.? Additionally, TBI can create significant behavior problems that cause immense stress on the parents. ?Parent skills training coupled with education regarding TBI may reduce parental distress and improve child outcomes.?</description>

<description>Eating and food issues can have a significant impact on someone?s quality of life (QOL). ?This is of particular relevance for the atypical eating disorders, called eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS), thought to represent the majority of clinical presentations,? said Tracey D. Wade of the School of Psychology at Flinders University in South Australia, and lead author of a study examining the relationship between eating issues and QOL in women. ?This body of research would suggest that the presence of an eating disorder is associated with impaired QOL, by comparison with healthy controls, the general population, primary care patients with medical disorders such as arthritis and hypertension, and people with other diagnoses of psychiatric illness,? said Wade, referring to the data collected from the Medical Outcome Studies (MOS) Short-Form Scale (SF-36). Wade added that although there is little research on women with EDNOS compared to women with anorexia or bulimia, the small pool of evidence for EDNOS shows that these women have lower QOL than healthy women. ?Those girls with EDNOS had significantly higher levels of functional impairment, mental health service use, and emotional distress than those without eating disorders,? said Wade.</description>

<title>How Do Depression and Attachment Affect Emotional Disclosure?</title>

<description>Sharing emotional experiences, or engaging in emotional disclosure, can be a cathartic process, resulting in reductions in stress, anxiety and tension. ?In an opposite manner, the active concealment of distressing information is associated with psychological distress and physical symptoms such as headaches and backaches,? said Angela M. Garrison of the Department of Counselor Education and Counselor Psychology at Western Michigan University. Similarly, people with depression or anxiety often suppress their emotions to avoid facing negative feelings. Research has shown that individuals who have attachment issues struggle with emotional disclosure as well. Because emotional disclosure is so closely linked to depression and attachment, it is difficult to determine how each condition affects emotional regulation. ?Specifically, depression symptoms and attachment are both associated with emotional disclosure, but depression symptoms and attachment are also related to each other,? said Garrison, lead author of a recent study on emotional disclosure. ?For theory clarification, it is therefore important to disentangle the effect of depression symptoms on emotional disclosure from the potential effects of attachment on emotional disclosure.?</description>

<description>Therapeutic immediacy (TI) is a term used to encompass any discussion between a client and therapist during a session. The therapeutic alliance formed between the two parties as a result of the discussion is fundamental to the success of treatment. ?Recently, in order to capture the more interactive and dyadic nature of the therapeutic relationship, this definition has been broadened to also include any client-initiated disclosures of feelings about the therapist or their relationship, and the revised term of therapeutic immediacy has been suggested,? said Jason Mayotte-Blum of the Derner Institute of Advanced Psychological Studies at Adelphi University, and lead author of a recent study on the effect of TI. ?Typical examples of therapeutic immediacy include exploring parallels between external relationships and the therapy relationship; client or therapist expression of in-session emotional reactions; inquiring about the client?s reactions to therapy; the therapist commenting on his or her experience of the client; supporting, affirming, and validating the client?s feelings in the therapy relationship; and expressing gratitude. Use of therapeutic immediacy in the therapeutic relationship can then act as a template for interpersonal functioning in the client?s outside relationships.?</description>

<description>Emotional dysregulation can be a predictor of future psychological problems. People who experience overwhelming worry or fear may be at increased risk for the development of anxiety issues. Individuals who have difficulty managing their anger and repeatedly exhibit explosive outbursts may have aggressive tendencies later on in life. ?High levels and prolonged duration of negative emotions and heightened emotional variability may be signs of emotional dysregulation,? said Anna Neumann of the Department of Developmental Psychology at VU University in the Netherlands. ?Individual differences in emotion regulation and their relation with the development of psychopathology become especially relevant during the developmental period of adolescence.? Neumann recently led a study that examined how four emotions; happiness, anxiety, anger and sadness, influenced emotional regulation and emotional variability (EV), during adolescence. ?Several cross-sectional studies demonstrate that in adolescence, high levels of negative emotions, and high levels of EV are related to symptoms of depression and externalizing problems.? Neumann added, ?These findings are commonly interpreted as suggesting that emotion dysregulation influences the development of psychopathology.?</description>

<description>The stereotypical high-achieving gifted student is no longer reminiscent of a character out of Revenge of the Nerds. In that movie, the academically gifted students were teased and bullied mercilessly. But in real life, gifted students blend in seamlessly with their peers. However, with all of the research available on the increasing problem of bullying, few studies have been conducted to determine if gifted students are more vulnerable to bullying because of their academic differences. The shallow body of scientific evidence provides mixed results thus far. Some studies have suggested that gifted students are at increased risk for victimization, while others suggest they are at decreased risk. And still other studies have shown that gifted students have higher bullying rates within their own groups as a result of the pressure they are under to compete with one another and achieve. To provide clarification on this issue, Megan Parker Peters, a school psychologist at Vanderbilt University, led a study on bullying among gifted students. ?In the current study, we sought to determine if rates of bullying and victimization among gifted high school students differ from those of high-achieving (HA), but not gifted, peers in Advanced Placement (AP) classes,? said Peters, who conducted the study with her colleague Sherry K. Bain of the University of Tennessee-Knoxville.</description>

<description>Funnel chest is a term used to describe the medical condition known as Pectus excavatum (PE), a deformity of the chest wall that occurs in one of every thousand children. ?It is well known that children with PE are affected by their body image, that they often experience embarrassment, have low self-esteem and feelings of stigma,? said Susanne Habelt of the Department of Pediatric Surgery at the University Children?s Hospital in Basle, Switzerland. ?These psychological criteria influence the patient&#39;s life deeply.? She added that although recent studies have looked at how surgery affects the quality of these children?s lives, few researchers have examined the psychological symptoms related to PE, both before and after surgery. ?With this as background the aim of our evaluation was to perform an extended psychological status in order to establish a psychological indication for treatment,? said Habelt.</description>

<description>The mental health field is comprised of various disciplines that range greatly in cost and efficacy. But few studies have looked at how these different disciplines compare to each other with respect to overall large scale cost effectiveness and treatment viability. In an attempt to fill this void, D. Russell Crane, Ph.D., analyzed four years of mental health claims data from CIGNA healthcare. ?The purpose of the study was to explore the practice patterns and subsequent cost-effectiveness of different types of professionals providing individual and family therapy within one behavioral health care management system,? said Crane, Professor of Marriage and Family Therapy at the School of Family Life at Brigham Young University. The data included over 5 million claims specifically for psychotherapy services obtained by members ranging in age from birth to 103.</description>

Foli of the Purdue University School of Nursing and lead author of a new study looking at the prevalence of PAD. ?In the research reported thus far, the rate of post-adoption depression has a wide range, from 8%, 15.4% to 32%, with parents surveyed in varying contexts including inter-country and domestic.?</description>

<description>Positive automatic thoughts (PATs) produce many beneficial byproducts, including increased functioning and elevated mood. But a new study suggests that PATs are also linked to increased life satisfaction which can decrease depression and anxiety and even lower the risk of death. ?Along with other positive constructs, life satisfaction has predicted not only lowered risk of all-cause mortality (the number of deaths in a population, relative to the total population, attributable to all causes) and natural-cause mortality (the number of deaths in a population, relative to the total population, attributable to natural causes such as failed physical health), but also unnatural-cause mortality (the number of deaths in a population, relative to the total population, attributable to causes such as suicide, homicide, accidents, and other causes that are not directly attributable to failed physical health) in both younger and older persons,? said Owen Richard Lightsey, Jr. of the Department of Counseling, Educational Psychology and Research at the University of Memphis. ?Conversely, life dissatisfaction at baseline has predicted increased instances of suicide among Finnish men over a 20-year follow-up. Clearly, ascertaining the factors that augment life satisfaction is vital,? said Lightsey, lead author of a new study examining the relationship of PAT?s on life satisfaction.</description>

<description>It has long been speculated that mood and creativity are linked. But there is little research examining how creative process engagement (CPE) affects creativity outcomes. Although there is some evidence of how mood affects immediate creative expression, few studies have looked at how one?s mood and CPE affects the creative outcome over the long-term. To address these gaps, March L. To, from the University of Queensland School of Business, led a study exploring mood and creativity. ?We also take a within-person approach, investigating the concurrent and lagged relationships between activating and deactivating momentary moods and CPE among individuals working on a long-term project requiring creativity.?</description>

<description>For clients with schizophrenia, maintaining their antipsychotic medication and clinical evaluations is sporadic and frequently results in non-compliance. ?Factors contributing to non-adherence and partial adherence include medication side effects, severity of psychotic symptoms, impaired cognition, and inadequate understanding of the role of medication in preventing relapse,? said Kathryn Puskar, Ph.D. and Professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing. ?Non-adherence to antipsychotic treatment is associated with lower global functioning, impaired insight, and greater number of inpatient days (44.8 days versus 20.6 days) compared with those who adhere to their antipsychotic treatment regimen.? New research has suggested that relational agents can improve client compliance. ?Relational agents are typically deployed as software humanoid animated agents that can simulate face-to-face conversation with patients so that real-time dialogue, speech, gesture, gaze, and other verbal and nonverbal channels can be used to communicate therapeutic information,? said Puskar. These agents focus on caring and empathy and help clients stay on task with their medication and evaluations.</description>

<description>Tic disorders (TD), which are neurodevelopmental issues that cause physical tics, are commonly found in children who also have another psychological challenge. ?The majority of individuals with TD (up to 90%) have at least one comorbid psychiatric disorder, with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) being the most frequent co-occurring condition,? said Ellen Greimel of the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University Hospital of the RWTH Aachen in Germany. ?ADHD has been shown to substantially account for impairments in social, cognitive and school functioning in individuals comorbid with TD and ADHD.? To date, research on the relationship between ADHD and TD has been mixed. ?A number of studies that have investigated attentional functions in subjects with co-occurring TD and ADHD have revealed unexpected results as they have shown superior performance in participants comorbid with both disorders compared to participants with ?ADHD only? in selective or sustained attention tasks.?</description>

<description>A recent study has revealed an alarming increase in the amount of antidepressants being prescribed in America. ?Most of the recent increase in antidepressant use is a consequence of the growing number of prescriptions written by physicians who are not psychiatrists,? said Ramin Mojtabai, associate professor at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and co-author of the study. ?In the United States, nearly four out of every five antidepressant prescriptions are written by such providers.? This dynamic has raised concern for the mental health field. ?In fact, antidepressants have been demonstrated to be clinically effective for only a limited number of psychiatric conditions-major depressive disorder, chronic depression (also known as dysthymic disorder), some anxiety disorders, and a few other well defined conditions,? said Mojtabai. ?In one&#160;study of privately insured plans, a majority (61.4 percent) of patients for whom antidepressants were prescribed did not receive diagnoses for any psychiatric disorders during the course of a year. In addition, there are concerns about side effects and costs of antidepressant use.?</description>

<description>Students can suffer negative consequences as a result of emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD). These children often find themselves removed from class due to disruptive behavior, which leads to fewer opportunities for learning. Additionally, many of these children have difficulty making friends because of the labels put on them by other students and staff. Teachers find themselves frustrated and resentful that the student is taking time away from the other children. ?Consequently, teachers, as well as students with and without disabilities, would benefit from effective and feasible classroom-based interventions for students engaging in high rates of off-task and disruptive behaviors,? said Erika Blood, Ph.D. and Assistant Professor of Special Education at the Department of Teaching &#38;amp; Learning at Northern Illinois University.</description>

<title>Decreased Hippocampus Volume Found in Depressed Individuals with Multiple Sclerosis</title>

<description>The volume of the hippocampus region of the brain has been linked to cognitive functioning, memory and mood regulation. ?More than 30 cross-sectional MRI studies have examined hippocampus volumes in patients with major depressive disorder (MDD), and several meta-analyses have con?rmed that hippocampal volume is about 5%? 8% smaller in patients with major depression than in healthy controls,? said Gevrey Kiy of the Department of Neurology at Klinikum Bremen-Mitte in Germany. Manual tracing, a method of measuring hippocampal volume, has yet to accurately demonstrate a link between hippocampal volume and cognitive functioning in people with multiple sclerosis (MS). ?This is somewhat surprising, because memory impairment is a core element of cognitive dysfunctioning in MS; it has been estimated that about 40% of MS patients su?ers from de?cits in this cognitive domain.? Kiy added, ?Manual tracing is necessary because the hippocampus is a cortical structure showing only graded grey di?erences in relation to surrounding structures and having no clear-cut borders in the posterior direction. On the other hand, because memory impairment and depression play a crucial role for the quality of life in MS patients, including work employment, it would be helpful to have a quick and relatively easy neuro-radiological evaluation in addition to the neuropsychological assessment.?</description>

<title>Celebratory Violence Increases Fan Identification with Teams</title>

<description>Violent expressions often occur after a major sports team wins a competition. But fan violence has become increasingly common, even when the team is not well known. ?Celebratory violence is the celebration of a team&#39;s victory that involves the destruction of both private and public property, and fits the concept of exuberant celebration or an expressive riot,? said Dr. Jason Lanter of the Department of Psychology at Kultztown University in Pennsylvania. Previous research has shown that fans can be classified into two groups: those who react with anger and impulsivity after a sporting event, and those who act as peacemakers. These findings have been seen when sports fans have attended events, and also when they have viewed them on television. Based on this evidence, Lanter suspected what his study on fan violence would reveal. ?Therefore, increased aggression, as demonstrated by celebratory violence, was expected among the participants even though they did not attend the game (i.e., the game was held at a rival&#39;s campus approximately 350 miles away) and simply watched the game on television.?</description>

<title>Does Previous Trauma Experience Affect Adjustment After Divorce?</title>

<description>Divorce occurs in more than fifty percent of married couples. For some people, divorce causes an immense amount of stress that can result in negative health conditions, such as depression and decreased social functioning. ?Although most adults ultimately fare well following the end of marriage, which is consistent with humans? general capacity for resilience in the face of difficulty experiences, a subset of people become stuck on pathways of long-term stress and strain,? said Jessica L. Borelli, Ph.D., of the Department of Psychology at Pomona College in California. Curious as to why some people adjust better than others after divorce, she theorized that previous trauma affected this outcome. ?Said differently, we ask if people who have experienced trauma and who respond behaviorally to their divorce in a particular way are at unique risk for poor outcomes over time,? said Borelli, of her recent study investigating the relationship between trauma and divorce adjustment.</description>

<title>Is Anxiety Buffer System Compromised in People with PTSD?</title>

<description>According to a new study led by Pelin Kesebir of the Department of Psychology at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, people who suffer with PTSD have an anxiety buffering system that is compromised. ?According to terror management theory (TMT), human awareness of mortality and vulnerability creates a potential for paralyzing anxiety. Effective management of this potential is essential for psychological well-being and adaptive functioning,? said Kesebir. ?The study reported here tests the idea that persons afflicted with PTSD display a disruption in their anxiety-buffering system.?</description>

<description>Maintaining a high grade point average (GPA) is just one of the stressors that adolescents struggle with.&#160; How teens handle the issues they face during this emotional time is of concern to some researchers. ?Indeed, school achievement is a central normative pursuit for many teens, but adolescence is also a critical stage in the development of alcohol use and depressed mood,? said Nathan D. Shippee of the Mayo Clinic and lead author of a recent study examining the effects of academic stress and gender on alcohol use among teens. ?According to general strain theory (GST), the links between achievement, distress, and alcohol/substance use are multifaceted and dynamic. Strain arising from negative relationships and experiences can lead to various types of coping strategies, including behavioral or emotional responses.? The average teen begins drinking by age 14 and more than half of teenagers have already gotten drunk one time by the age of 18. Shippee said, ?Thus, teen drinking may function as behavioral coping and compensation for negative experiences; that is, strain may affect drinking frequency directly, rather than operating via increased distress.?</description>

<title>The Pursuit of Happiness: Internal or External?</title>

<description>According to Randy P. Auerbach of Harvard Medical School, McLean Hospital, positive feelings and feelings of happiness are the result of intrinsic pursuits. ?Intrinsically-motivated goals are thought to be inherently interesting, pleasurable, and/or meaningful,? said Auerbach. ?In contrast, extrinsically-motivated goals are typically sought in order to attain a reward (i.e., material goods or money) or to avoid punishment.? Research has shown that pursuing both intrinsic and extrinsic goals can be beneficial, but not when one is at the expense of the other. Auerbach said, ?Guided by self-determination theory, the research posits that the neglect of intrinsic goals ultimately thwarts the satisfaction of core, inherent psychological needs for relatedness, competence and autonomy, which in turn contributes to negative psychological outcomes including depressive symptoms.? Additionally, people who value extrinsic goals over intrinsic goals may neglect their interpersonal relationships and exert all of their time and energy in the pursuit of material objects and money. Another concern is that children whose parents value extrinsic goals above intrinsic ones may not foster sufficient interpersonal skills in their children, creating maladaptive relationship models for them as adults.</description>

<description>Less than one fifth of college students who struggle with mental health issues ever seek help. ?Because reasons for the discrepancy between those who might benefit from mental health services and those who seek it can be numerous (e.g., effect of time, natural process of healing, and relief provided by a social network), scholars have sought to identify barriers to seeking treatment,? said Stefania Aigisdottir of Ball State University, and lead author of a new study examining the reasons why young adults avoid therapy. ?The search for barriers is grounded in the notion that the decision to seek MHC (mental healthcare) is influenced by two opposing forces: approach factors (e.g., positive counseling attitudes, experience of distress) and avoidance factors (e.g., fear of and negative attitudes to treatment).? Another main reason people refuse to reach out for help is because of the stigma attached to mental health issues. ?Public stigma refers to the negative social labels attached to persons who seek mental health services,? added Aigisdottir.</description>

<description>Anxiety can cause feelings of worry, panic and apprehension. Physically, people who experience high levels of anxiety also have elevated heart rates, muscle tension and increased cortisol production. Many of the treatments used for anxiety include relaxation and meditation techniques designed to address the physical and emotional symptoms of the problem. ?As well as being a potential benefit in circumstances such as those mentioned above, music as a relaxation aid is also used extensively within receptive music,? said Dave Elliott of the University of Cumbria in Carlisle, UK. ?Indeed, the American Music Therapy Association (2010) cites stress reduction as being one of the major goals of music therapy.?</description>

<description>Non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is a coping mechanism that is rising at alarming rates. ?In Canada and the United States, prevalence ranges from 12% to 41% in community samples of adolescents and young adults,? said K. Jessica van Vliet, Assistant Professor at the University of Alberta. Most people who self-injure do so to cope with negative feelings, acceptance and social fears. ?In particular, there is a need for counseling approaches that strengthen client emotion regulation, self-acceptance, and positive ways of relating with others,? said van Vliet. ?Compassion-focused therapy (CFT), a form of cognitive behavioral therapy designed to help people relate to themselves with greater compassion, is proposed as an approach for addressing the most common underlying functions of non-suicidal self-injury.? This relatively new form of therapy is aimed at teaching self-acceptance, compassion, and emotional regulation.</description>

<description>Deviant talk is a method of gaining attention from others, using sarcasm, jokes, or other tactics to evoke response. For adolescents, gaining the approval of peers is an important social behavior. For at risk youth, deviant talk as a method of gaining peer approval can be especially harmful when they are receiving treatment in residential facilities. ?It has been linked to escalation in adolescent substance use, violence, and child antisocial behavior,? said A.L. Zakriski of Connecticut College, and lead author of a new study examining the detrimental effects of deviant talk. ?Given the risk of harm, it is important for treatment programs to monitor deviancy training, especially when peer contact is high.?</description>

<description>Parents of ADHD children experience elevated levels of stress and often find their role dissatisfying. Some exhibit depressive symptoms as well. But a new study suggests that it is not the hyperactive-impulsive, attention (HIA) behavior of the child that causes these emotions, but rather the lack of control a parent of an ADHD child feels. ?Theoretically, it has been suggested that children with ADHD often have an underactive behavioral inhibition system, which means they are unresponsive to cues of possible punishment,? said Terese Glatz of the Center for Developmental Research at JPS, Orebro University, Sweden, and lead author of the study. ?Given that HIA and ADHD are similarly connected to parenting, this theory suggests that parents of children who are high on HIA should experience problems getting their children to follow directions and they should find rule setting essentially ineffective.? This problem leaves a parent feeling powerless over their child. ?According to this model, parents with low perceived power will view their children?s behavior as threatening and respond by behaving negatively toward their children. In contrast, high perceived power is expected to buffer against negative parenting behaviors,? said Glatz. ?Thus, these results show that parents? attributions about their power or lack thereof may be critically important when explaining why parents behave negatively toward children.?</description>

<title>Unconscious Avoidance of Perceived Threats</title>
<link>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/unconscious-avoidance-perceived-threats/</link>

<description>People avoid situations that present imminent threat. But a new study suggests that people also engage in avoidant behaviors when a threat is unconsciously perceived. Natalie A. Wyer and Guglielmo Calvini, both of the University of Plymouth, tested their theory that people would physically distance themselves from people who presented an unconscious threat. ?Upon encountering an individual who (by virtue of physical appearance or membership in a negatively stereotyped group) is associated with hostility or aggression, one?s spontaneous response is likely to be to move away (e.g., by crossing the street or taking a seat on the other side of the room),? said the researchers. In order to introduce the threatening scenario to the participants, the researchers showed 52 undergraduate students a picture of a man dressed in a hooded sweatshirt (the prime group) or a man in neutral clothing. After viewing the images, all of the participants completed an attention task to measure their anxiety levels. Upon completion of the task, the participants were then placed in a room and told they would be meeting another individual. The clothing of the individual, the hooded sweatshirt, was present in the room when they arrived. The team believed that the primed group would be sensitive to the sweatshirt and would distance themselves from the chair.</description>

<description>In an audacious show of power, the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT) lost a lengthy tug of war with one of its fastest growing divisions, the Hawaii Division, Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (HAMFT).

The AAMFT insisted, since the charges had not been proven that the HAMFT remove the posting. Citing freedom of speech and full disclosure, the HAMFT, an entity whose board had already raised concerns about the corporate structure at the AAMFT, specifically, lack of an impartial Human Resources Department to address such complaints, refused.</description>

<title>Children with ADHD May Benefit from Transcendental Meditation</title>
<link>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/children-adhd-transcendental-meditation/</link>
<guid>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/children-adhd-transcendental-meditation/</guid>
<pubDate>Sat, 30 Jul 2011 15:00:25 GMT</pubDate>
<description>Transcendental meditation (TM) was used in a new study to determine if it would help children with ADHD improve their focus and attention. ?We chose the TM technique for this study because studies show that it increases brain function. We wanted to know if it would have a similar effect in the case of ADHD, and if it did, would that also improve the symptoms of ADHD,? said principal investigator, Sarina J. Grosswald, Ed.D. The researchers recruited 18 children with ADHD, between the ages of 11 and 14, and had them participate in TM over a period of six months. The children?s brains were measured using an electroencephalogram for activity while they performed a rigorous visual-motor assignment. The task demanded focus, memory, attention and impulse control. The findings revealed that all of the children experienced increased brain functioning, processing abilities and even higher executive functioning, as a result of the TM.</description>

<title>Working Memory May Influence Cognitive Therapy</title>
<link>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/working-memory-cognitive-therapy/</link>
<guid>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/working-memory-cognitive-therapy/</guid>
<pubDate>Thu, 23 Jun 2011 23:00:34 GMT</pubDate>
<description>Experts have long thought that a person?s working memory is limited to remembering only four things. But a new study by researchers at MIT suggests that the brain can actually process different amounts of things with both the right and left hemisphere. They hope their findings may affect ?heads up displays,? brain games and lead to better cognitive therapy approaches. Timothy Buschman, a post-doctoral researcher at MIT?s Picower Institute for Learning and Memory, and the Picower Professor of Neuroscience, Earl Miller, explored the neural basis of working memory in monkeys to determine the capacity of human?s working memory. For many years, experts have believed that humans have only four slots in which to hold memory, but this belief has been debated by others who believe that our memory works more like a pool.</description>

<title>Panic May be Delayed after Stressful Event</title>

<pubDate>Thu, 23 Jun 2011 14:59:16 GMT</pubDate>
<description>New research suggests that stressful events may cause delayed increase in panic symptoms. Because the effect of stress on panic symptoms has not been studied extensively, researchers wanted to determine if people with panic problems experienced immediate increase or a gradual increase in symptoms following a stressful event. &#34;We definitely expected the symptoms to get worse over time, but we also thought the symptoms would get worse right away,&#34; said Ethan Moitra, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.&#160;But the findings revealed that stress does not always cause an immediate panic attack. Dr. Martin Keller, principal investigator of the research and professor of psychiatry and human behavior, warns family members and clients to watch for signs of panic over the several months following the stressful event.</description>

<title>Lying in Therapy</title>

<guid>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/lying-in-therap/</guid>
<pubDate>Fri, 3 Jul 2009 14:07:32 GMT</pubDate>
<description>It&#39;s a familiar scenario for therapy clients the world over: after a particularly intense session in which it seems that a lot of positive work has been done, it emerges that some lie has been told (or that an important piece of information has been withheld), and the course of treatment, as a result, is less effective. In general therapists and other mental health professionals are aware that complete and total honesty, while certainly ideal, is not really the norm, nor can it be reasonably demanded from each and every client. In the past couple of years, the buzz about lying in therapy has been picking up, with publications from major journals and reviews to individual blogs and other online mediums sounding off about the phenomenon. The verdict? It&#39;s best to encourage an honest exchange, accept any moments of coming clean with grace, and to ask adequate questions to ensure treatment is as personalized as possible.</description>

<description>Chances are good that someone you know suffered or will suffer from a major depressive episode (MDE), according to a nationwide study by the US government&#39;s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA?s 2007 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH)). An estimated 16.5 million people in the US, one in 13 adults aged 18 or over (7.5 percent), experienced major depression during the study&#39;s one-year time-frame. While their May, 2009 news release reports that approximately two-thirds of people suffering from a major depressive episode sought help initially, less than half followed up with the recommended mental health professional counseling, took medication for the disorder or both. The research reveals why one-third did not seek even initial help, the rate of people who followed up with counseling or medication, the rates of depression among certain age groups and a significant general health association with the occurrence of a major depressive episode (MDE).</description>

<title>Psychotherapy and the Flywheel of Consciousness</title>

<description>Many machines with rotating parts contain flywheels. Almost all automobile engines have them. A flywheel is a heavy wheel which rotates when the machine of which it is a part is running. Because it is heavy the flywheel absorbs surges of energy, thereby causing the machine to run more smoothly. The flywheel also stores kinetic energy when it is rotating and can keep a machine running for a period of time even if the usual source of energy (e.g. gasoline motor, water wheel, windmill) stops providing input.</description>

<description>In modern society, where academia is an integral aspect of professional fields, and a constantly growing body of bright minds and researchers, it is unsurprising that a veritable sea of academic journals are published each month, quarter, or year. Rounding up the prominent studies and touching upon extant wisdom worth revisiting, these journals create the basis for understanding and cooperation within professional communities. In the field of psychology, an impressive number of journals focus on everything from adolescent development to Alzheimer&#39;s. Yet when it comes to schizophrenia, the selection is limited to journals that grapple with what little we understand about the condition and its etiology.</description>

<description>We need to pay much better attention to eating issues, according to sources in the know. This doesn&#39;t just apply to the national epidemic of obesity, but to eating disorders. Eating disorders  can cause death or severe and lasting health problems with astronomical costs. Last week was National Eating Disorders Week, highlighting that eating disorders, like obesity, are a major problem in the US. According to statistics listed by the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH), approximately 0.5 percent to 3.7 percent of females suffer from anorexia, and 1.1 percent to 4.2 percent suffer from bulimia in their lifetimes (2008). They quote an estimated 12 times of women from age 15 to 24 with anorexia die as a result of the disorder than of all other causes of death. Males suffer a lower rate of anorexia, but they too are sometimes afflicted, and have a higher rate of bulimia and binge-eating disorders than anorexia.</description>

<description>Over the past several decades, as China has competed and worked diligently to become a major world economic power, its people have been fiercely driven to succeed and produce, efficiently and with excellence. While the same might be said of any developing country, China&#39;s unique population boom coupled with specific social stigmas -- such as having more than one child or seeking psychiatric help in times of difficulty -- make for an interesting case study.</description>

<description>Address your stress reactions to the recession now, especially if you feel very stressed and have for days on end. That&#39;s basically the advice of an article in the Chicago Tribune by reporter, Barbara Mahany. Psychotherapy and medications can help. The reporter interviewed a neuroscientist, a clinical psychologist, a clinical social worker, a rabbi-psychotherapist and an associate professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences concerning the science of, and antidotes for, our recession stress. Also interviewed were a corporate communications executive and a scriptwriter-corporate freelance writer to discover how stress is effecting some people and how to successfully cope with it.</description>

<title>High-Tech Therapy: Iraqi Victims Consider a Virtual Couch</title>

<description>Though violence in Iraq has greatly diminished since the peak of the recent war, greatly traumatic events still take place on a regular basis and many Iraqis are left with not only physical, but emotional scars and remain in need of assistance. Unfortunately, the difficulty in securing modern medicine and health care is separated by a magnitude of ease in comparison to locating a properly trained psychotherapist. Yet with the efforts of a team from Switzerland&#39;s Zurich University, and the power of the Internet, many suffering Iraqis are finding that therapy is not entirely out of reach.</description>

<title>Stimulus Bill Preserves Therapist-Client Privacy</title>

<description>The recent passage of the Obama administration&#39;s stimulus bill, or, if you prefer, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, holds a significant amount of promise in the quest to invigorate the national economy and to help people more comfortably wade through the fallout of the financial crisis. But thanks to the work of a few legislators as well as the historical importance of the issue and those who have fought for their rights in the past, the bill is also set to invigorate a topic close to the heart of meaningful psychotherapy: privacy. A small yet important victory for mental health care providers as well as their clients, this measure has been met with enthusiastic cheer by the American Psychoanalytic Association as well as professionals associated with the New England Journal of Medicine.</description>

<description>Just another diet book? It seems unlikely that the book, ?The Complete Beck Diet for Life: The Five-Stage Program for Weight Loss? (Oxmoor House, 2008) can be dismissed so easily. After all, the author is Judith Beck, Clinical Associate Professor of Psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and Director of the Beck Institute for Cognitive Therapy and Research in Bala Cynwyd, PA. Her father, Dr. Aaron Beck, developed what is now a well-researched psychotherapy for depression, cognitive therapy,  commonly referred to as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). CBT has been used successfully for a wide range of behavioral and psychological issues. Judith Beck, released her new book in December of 2008 and follows one she wrote the year before, &#34;The Beck Diet Solution: Train Your Brain to Think Like a Thin Person&#34; (Oxmoor House, 2007), but this one focuses more on development of behavioral habits or skills. The 2007 book primarily used cognitive principles to help people think like thin people.</description>

<pubDate>Mon, 2 Feb 2009 19:01:19 GMT</pubDate>
<description>Shifting attention from one task to another is more difficult for men under stress than for men who aren&#39;t, according to recent research by scientists from Harold and Margaret Milliken Hatch Laboratory of Neuroendocrinology, The Rockefeller University and Weill Cornell Medical College. Studies on rats that had similar results led to this research. Stress appeared to diminish the ability to shift from one task to another and decrease the functioning of the medial prefrontal cortex. The effects of stress, though, appeared to be reversed within one month.</description>

<title>Study Suggests Aggression and Rejection are Closely Linked</title>

<guid>http://www.goodtherapy.org/blog/aggression-rejection/</guid>
<pubDate>Sun, 1 Feb 2009 18:58:45 GMT</pubDate>
<description>Throughout time, there have been myriad reasons offered as to why perpetually aggressive people behave as they do, from finding fault in their own name or other minute personal detail, to being the product of a visually violent society, to being subjected to high and sustained levels of stress. While all these may well hold true, and many others may play a key role in explaining aggressive tendencies in humans, a recent study at the University of Kentucky offers substantial evidence to suggest that those who are socially rejected are especially prone to exhibit aggressive behaviors.</description>

<description>Conventional wisdom has insisted on complete abstinence for people who have drinking problems, but moderation may be better advice. The current issue of the Harvard Mental Health Newsletter reports that it may be best to recommend that men have up to two drinks per day and women, one drink per day. This is certainly a conservative definition of moderation for many drinkers, but an amount unlikely to cause ill health effects. The authors explain that individuals who are alcohol dependent will probably not be able to control the drinking to that extent, and therefore, may realize their alcohol dependence and seek help.</description>

<description>Persuasive evidence of the same genetic cause for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia was published this month in Lancet, January 16, 2009. The study, conducted by medical scientists in the Department of Medical Epidemiology and Biostatistics Karolinska Institutet, a Swedish university medical center, included two million families. There has been a growing body of evidence that suggests a link between the disorders, but the researchers claim this study shows positive proof, according to a press release from Karolinska Instituet.</description>

<title>Headaches May Hurt More Than You Realize</title>

<pubDate>Sun, 25 Jan 2009 07:01:40 GMT</pubDate>
<description>No one appreciates the onset of a headache - whether dull or sharp, behind the eyes or covering the surface of the skull, a headache can interfere with work, school, playtime, and one&#39;s overall ability to focus and cope with the stresses of daily life. But for over thirty million Americans, headaches are far more debilitating. This group is afflicted by migraines, a type of headache notable for its intense pain and sustained duration, causing extreme sensitivity to noise and light, and making even the simplest of tasks difficult. Most migraine sufferers find that medicines - whether over the counter or prescribed by a doctor - have little effect on their symptoms. This can result in serious problems in one&#39;s professional and personal life, and is a major concern in modern health care. But a new study published this month in the journal General Hospital Psychiatry suggests that those with depressive disorders are at high risk for migraine headaches, and the converse is true as well.</description>

<title>Musical Memories: Research Shows Songs Reach Deep</title>

<description>When flipping through the stations of a radio while on the go, it&#39;s a common treat to come upon a song that strikes a certain inner chord - for its sound or for its lyrics, we can easily become attracted to new music. But an even more fascinating phenomenon lies within the experience of tuning into an old classic, whether it&#39;s a long-time favorite or simply something heard long ago during formative years. For most people, hearing and recognizing an old song brings back vivid memories. Certain events or periods in life may flash through the mind, or detailed scenes may replay, all at the stirring of those special notes. But recently a psychology team at Kansas State University wanted to find out if it was the actual hearing of old songs that brought about vivid memories of the past, or whether the brain can produce these scenes and images without the aid of aural stimulation.</description>

<description>We&#39;ve become accustomed to reading about campus alcohol and drug use. Yet, the rates of both substance use and non-substance use psychiatric disorders pointed out by a new study sponsored by NIH (National Institutes of Health), are alarming. That only about one-quarter of those with disorders in the study group had received treatment is further cause for concern. Some interesting comparisons were also found between these groups.</description>

<description>A tool with good potential for predicting depression, called predictD, is now on-line for use by anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection. Although there are many depression assessments on the Internet, this is the only one based on empirical research of a depression assessment algorithm for predicting the disorder. Participating researchers believe the tool can become a tool for use by medical practitioners. The research study included 5,216 study participants in the UK, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Estonia, and another 1,732 in Chile (King, Walker, Levy, et et al., 2008).</description>

Researchers at Harvard Medical School and the University of California, San Diego, found that having neighbors, friends, and even friends of friends of friends, increases the chances of being happy profoundly ? more than coming into large sums of money, and, oddly perhaps, even more than having a happy spouse.</description>

<description>What if we were able to identify who is at risk for development of bipolar disorder even before it occurs? What if we were then able to prevent the illness from ever occurring in those lives? What if we could individualize treatment for bipolar disorder according to the precise genes contributing to the person?s disorder? It now appears that with genetic testing, prevention and better treatment may be attainable in the foreseeable future, thanks to a major study funded by the National Institute of Mental Health.</description>

<pubDate>Sat, 29 Nov 2008 05:10:59 GMT</pubDate>
<description>A new study at Howard University, Washington, DC, has discovered that having a purpose in life may protect against the potential psychological effects of trauma and be helpful to recovery for those who do develop a trauma-related psychiatric disorder (Alim, Feder &#38;amp; Graves, 2008). Principal investigator, Tanya N. Alim, MD, said the findings show a significant relationship between purpose in life prior to trauma and resilience -- lack of development of a psychiatric disorder related to the trauma, and between development of a purpose in life and recovery from psychiatric disorder related to trauma (Cassels, 2008). Study participants were 259 African-Americans who had experienced at least one major traumatic incident in their lives. The study was conducted in order to address the lack of evidence for effective treatment of trauma-related psychiatric disorders.</description>

<description>A research report released in late October by the VA (Veteran?s Administration) states that 15% of military personnel who received some medical service from the VA suffered sexual trauma while in Iraq or Afghanistan, according to Reuters. The majority of those who screened positively for sexual trauma were women, one in seven who sought some form of VA service after leaving the military. The VA documented that one percent of men discharged from the military reported sexual trauma. All VA medical service users are screened for sexual trauma, defined as psychological disturbance related to an unwanted sexual advance, including sexual assault and severe sexual harassment.</description>

<description>A new study suggests yet another use of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) in helping people change their behaviors, this time in the treatment of smokers who suffer depression after a heart attack and are using tobacco to cope. Smoking is a severe risk factor in cardiac arrest, but quitting can of course be very difficult. CBT plus good social support seems to significantly enhance one?s ability to abstain from tobacco.</description>

A new study of 18 men and 18 women, carried out by the University of Montreal department of Psychology, used the ?Grille de l?&#201;laboration Verbale des Affects? (GEVA, or verbal elaboration chart) to measure verbal communication and emotional expression. It found that women (and French-speaking Canadians) were more apt to use metaphors, identify childhood traumas as causes of their emotional problems, and verbalize rather than act out anger.</description>

<description>From the good news / bad news department: Mainstream media sources are reporting that American psychiatrists have essentially stopped practicing psychotherapy ? except with private paying clients, and even then only rarely ? and are dealing almost exclusively with medication management.  Over the last twenty years, the percentage of psychiatrists offering talk therapy has declined from a little less than half to a little more than one quarter, according to the most recent National Ambulatory Care Survey.  As a result, the success rates for treating depression and anxiety have slipped, since a combination of talk and medicine is always the preferred treatment.</description>

<description>Hi Friends,&#160; I&#39;m writing to clear up some confusion about Good Therapy&#39;s position on the different models of therapy&#160;list.&#160; Originally our intention was to limit the list to only models we could endorse as nonpathologizing, empowering, and collaborative.&#160; This is truly a difficult task, one that requires the research funding&#160;of a large university, not the salary of a private practice therapist.&#160; And becasue it&#39;s not the theory that makes a model healthy and effective, but rather the therapist, we see little point in focusing our attention on evaluating models.&#160; Sure, it makes sense for models to be evaluated, but&#160;we&#39;re not the&#160;ones to do that.&#160;&#160; It&#39;s clear from my recent post on psychoanalysis that my own bias would get in the way anyhow :)&#160;&#160; With all that said, we do reserve the right to exclude a model if it clearly conflicts with the element of good therapy, as we&#39;ve defined them....&#160;&#160; So,&#160;in an effort to be clear about our policy and position on the models of therapy list, I&#39;m repeating here what we state on models of therapy&#160;page:</description>
