Examining suicidal desire through the lens of the three-step theory: A cross-sectional and longitudinal investigation in a community sample.
Conclusions: Results support the validity and predictive utility of 3ST hypotheses related to suicidal desire. Taken together with previous studies, findings suggest that Steps 1 and 2 are useful for conceptualizing suicide risk and prevention.

Preventing eating disorders in young women: An RCT and mixed-methods evaluation of the peer-delivered Body Project.
The objective of this study was to evaluate using mixed-methods the Body Project program when peer-delivered among high school women. Method: Three studies were conducted among young women in high school in the United States: (a) an open trial evaluation of a peer-delivered Body Project program (n = 112), (b) a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing the Body Project with assessment-only control (n = 74), and (c) a qualitative investigation of participants’ experiences (n = 131). Results: Open trial participants reported significant reductions in eating disorder risk factors and improvements in mood and self-at...

Mechanisms of improvements and maintenance in online relationship programs for distressed low-income couples.
Conclusions: These results indicate that both programs improve targeted mechanisms during the intervention period and support the role of these constructs as mechanisms of improvements in broader relationship functioning. Moreover, findings on mechanisms of maintenance highlighted the importance of including an emphasis on communication and emotional support to better maintain program gains.

Psychiatric outcomes following severe deprivation in early childhood: Follow-up of a randomized controlled trial at age 16.
Objective: Early psychosocial deprivation is associated with increased risk for psychopathology, yet few studies have examined outcomes in adolescents. Method: At baseline (M age 22 months), 136 children from Bucharest, Romania, living in large institutions, were randomized into foster care (FCG) or to care as usual (CAUG). Caregivers completed psychiatric interviews regarding their children (52 FCG; 51 CAUG) at age 16 years (M = 16.67 years; SD = 0.78) to assess past year diagnoses and symptom counts. In addition, never-institutionalized community comparison children (n = 47) were included. Results: Ever-institutionalized...

Clinician training, then what? Randomized clinical trial of child STEPs psychotherapy using lower-cost implementation supports with versus without expert consultation.

Modeling individualized trajectories of symptom change to improve feedback procedures in psychotherapy.
Conclusions: This study was the first to model individualized trajectories of symptom change across psychotherapy and in doing so, uncovered substantial heterogeneity in client trajectories. This means that averaged trajectories are likely to be misleading. Individualized modeling could complement current feedback procedures.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and pain education for people with chronic pain: Tests of treatment mechanisms.
Conclusions: Results suggest a complex set of mechanistic relationships. Instead of a unidirectional path from designated mechanism to designated outcome, our results suggest reciprocal influences whereby cognitive changes may beget outcome improvements and vice versa. Results also suggest that cognitive changes do not occur solely in a treatment that uses cognitive restructuring to foster such changes but may occur as a function of providing people with detailed information regarding the biopsychosocial nature of chronic pain.

Temporal relations among sleep, depression symptoms, and anxiety symptoms during intensive cognitive–behavioral treatment.
Conclusions: These finding suggest the potential value of examining sleep behaviors associated with sleep timing and circadian rhythms as important transdiagnostic factors during treatment for anxiety and depression. We discuss the implications for future studies of the relations between sleep and psychopathology symptoms and understanding individuals’ experiences in the context of cognitive–behavioral treatment.

Reassessing evidence-based content in popular smartphone apps for depression and anxiety: Developing and applying user-adjusted analyses.
Conclusions: The potential impact of MH apps on mental health may be best evaluated via assessment that combines tallies of evidence-based content with data on the content users are actually accessing. Given wide variation in the popularity of MH apps, findings weighted by usage data may differ markedly from findings based on raw tallies alone.

Moderators of treatment response to an intervention for nonsuicidal self-injury in young adults.
Conclusion: Previous research has shown that T-SIB is more effective than TAU overall; the current study suggests that T-SIB may be effective for individuals with more frequent NSSI and those with elevated anxiety. A larger evaluation of T-SIB is supported. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved) (Source: Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology)

Treatment receipt patterns among individuals with co-occurring posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and substance use disorders.
Conclusions: Most people with lifetime PTSD and SUD have sought either SUD or MH treatment or both, with substantially greater receipt of MH treatment. This comorbid group has complex clinical presentations that differ depending upon treatment subgroup, and for most, their PTSD persisted despite high rates of treatment engagement.
