Applying experimental therapeutics to examine cognitive and chronological vulnerabilities as mediators of acute outcomes in cognitive-behavioral therapy and light therapy for winter depression.
Conclusions: CBT-SAD promoted decreases in SAD-specific negative cognitions, and these changes were related to decreases in symptoms.

Direct and indirect effects of a couple-focused preventive intervention on children’s outcomes: A randomized controlled trial with African American families.
Conclusions: This couple-focused prevention program has positive indirect effects on several child outcomes through the intervening processes of promoting improvements in couple functioning and better parent–child relations. These findings provide cautious optimism regarding the possible benefits of couple-focused programming on participants’ children while suggesting ways in which future couple-focused interventions could yield stronger effects on these youth.
