TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the frequency and types of online self-injury activities in which adolescents engage, perceived functions that these activities serve, and associated risk for selfinjurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs).
Abstract: The majority of adolescents with psychiatric disorders use social media, engaging in a range of online activities that may confer both risks and benefits. Very little work, however, has examined engagement in online activities related to self-injury among these youth, such as posting about self-injury, viewing self-injury related content, or messaging about self-injury with online or offline friends. This study examined the frequency and types of online self-injury activities in which adolescents engage, perceived functions that these activities serve, and associated risk for self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs). Participants were 589 psychiatrically-hospitalized adolescents (Mage = 14.88), who completed self-report measures assessing online self-injury activities, perceived functions and consequences of these activities, and SITBs. Results indicated that 43.3% of the sample had engaged in online self-injury activities, that the majority (74.8%) used social networking sites (e.g., Snapchat, Instagram) to do so, and that these activities were significantly more common among sexual and gender minority youth. Adolescents who talked about self-injury with friends met online were more likely to report a history of suicide attempt(s). A latent profile analysis revealed three distinct subgroups of youth based on their perceived functions of engaging in online self-injury activities. Subgroups reporting higher levels of engagement for purposes of identity exploration, self-expression, and aiding recovery were at heightened risk for negative perceived consequences of these activities and reported greater suicidal ideation severity. Findings offer new insights for identifying youth who may be at heightened risk for SITBs in the context of social media use.

TL;DR: Specific techniques within this CBT include motivational interviewing to build commitment and target oppositionality; creation of an anger hierarchy; in-session controlled, gradual exposure; and parent training focusing on contingency management to counteract the instrumental learning deficits in irritable youth.

TL;DR: It is suggested sleep duration in humans may be associated with differential DNA methylation at specific sites and that the conserved genes identified here likely play roles in C. elegans sleep and in other species.
Abstract: Study objectives We aimed to test a combined approach to identify conserved genes regulating sleep and to explore the association between DNA methylation and sleep length. Methods We identified candidate genes associated with shorter versus longer sleep duration in college students based on DNA methylation using Illumina Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip arrays. Orthologous genes in Caenorhabditis elegans were identified, and we examined whether their loss of function affected C. elegans sleep. For genes whose perturbation affected C. elegans sleep, we subsequently undertook a small pilot study to re-examine DNA methylation in an independent set of human participants with shorter versus longer sleep durations. Results Eighty-seven out of 485,577 CpG sites had significant differential methylation in young adults with shorter versus longer sleep duration, corresponding to 52 candidate genes. We identified 34 C. elegans orthologs, including NPY/flp-18 and flp-21, which are known to affect sleep. Loss of five additional genes alters developmentally timed C. elegans sleep (B4GALT6/bre-4, DOCK180/ced-5, GNB2L1/rack-1, PTPRN2/ida-1, ZFYVE28/lst-2). For one of these genes, ZFYVE28 (also known as hLst2), the pilot replication study again found decreased DNA methylation associated with shorter sleep duration at the same two CpG sites in the first intron of ZFYVE28. Conclusions Using an approach that combines human epigenetics and C. elegans sleep studies, we identified five genes that play previously unidentified roles in C. elegans sleep. We suggest sleep duration in humans may be associated with differential DNA methylation at specific sites and that the conserved genes identified here likely play roles in C. elegans sleep and in other species.

TL;DR: The variability in number of therapy sessions attended suggests that many adolescents discharged after a psychiatric hospitalization will not receive adequate care, and short-term therapy protocols designed for community practice emphasizing cognitive techniques may be useful to test in future community-based research trials.
Abstract: Outpatient treatment is standard care for adolescents discharged following a psychiatric hospitalization. There is little research, however, on the amount and types of psychotherapy these clients receive in the community. We examined therapy attendance and therapist report of outpatient therapy practice with adolescents discharged from psychiatric hospitalization following either a suicide attempt or severe suicidal ideation in the Northeastern USA. Therapists (n = 84) completed a packet of self-report questionnaires regarding treatment of these adolescents in the first six months after discharge from the hospital. Information on number of sessions attended, primary presenting problem, therapist orientation, therapy techniques, and therapeutic relationship was collected. The findings indicated that therapists met their clients in both private and community outpatient settings. The most common modality of treatment was individual therapy, but almost all types of therapeutic techniques were endorsed. Adolescents attended an average of 8.1 therapy sessions (SD = 4.7), with 18% terminating treatment against therapist advice within the first three months. Psychologists, psychiatrists, and social workers used cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic, and family system techniques about equally. Social workers used humanistic techniques more than their counterparts. The variability in number of therapy sessions attended suggests that many adolescents discharged after a psychiatric hospitalization will not receive adequate care. Short-term therapy protocols designed for community practice emphasizing cognitive techniques may be useful to test in future community-based research trials based on the high percentage of adolescents attending relatively few sessions.

TL;DR: There was evidence that the goodness of fit between maternal scaffolding and child activity level at 36 months influenced both mother and child functioning at 60 months and the effects of child developmental risk as a moderator of mother-child goodness of Fit processes across the preschool period were highlighted.
Abstract: Despite the compelling nature of goodness of fit, empirical support has lagged for this construct. The present study examined an interactional approach to measuring goodness of fit and prospectively explored associations with mother-child relationship quality, child behavior problems, and parenting stress across the preschool period. In addition, as goodness of fit might be particularly important for children at developmental risk, the presence of early developmental delay was considered as a moderator of goodness of fit processes. Children with (n = 110) and without (n = 137) developmental delays and their mothers were coded while interacting in the lab at child age 36 months and during naturalistic home observations at child ages 36 and 48 months. Mothers also completed questionnaires at child age 60 months. Results highlight the effects of child developmental risk as a moderator of mother-child goodness of fit processes across the preschool period. There was also evidence that the goodness of fit between maternal scaffolding and child activity level at 36 months influenced both mother and child functioning at 60 months. Findings call for more precise models and expanded developmental perspectives to fully capture the transactional and dynamic nature of goodness of fit.
