TL;DR: The CBT group demonstrated a greater decrease in frequency of chest pain episodes, anxiety sensitivity, and fear of cardiac symptoms at 1- and 3-month follow-up assessments, although there were no differences on chest pain severity, cardiac-related avoidance or attention, quality of life, or general psychological distress.
TL;DR: This article found that teachers in the intervention condition provided more academic feedback to students, and used less large group lecture and more individualized seat work, and also became more likely than controls to give academic and behavioral feedback to more aggressive students.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the results of two experiments exploring possible changes in the affective ratings of foodstuffs as a result of their pairing with pictures of different types of female body shapes.
TL;DR: In this article, the relevance of age of onset to the psychopathology of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) using a large clinical sample of 154 patients with DSM-IV GAD was clarified.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the relation between trainee experience and client outcome in a training clinic in which empirically validated treatments were used and found that client outcome was significantly related to total number of client contact hours.
TL;DR: This article found that program children, as compared to controls, obtained higher reputation scores on leadership and social etiquette and chose friends with lower aggression, while self-reported quality of friendship also differed between groups, with program children reporting more companionship and recreation, program girls reporting more validation and caring, and severely aggressive program children reported less aggression toward others than their control counterparts.
TL;DR: The authors investigated the long-term efficacy of three 45-minute sessions of live graded exposure, computer-aided vicarious exposure, or progressive muscle relaxation placebo for the treatment of spider phobia, and showed significant improvement from pretreatment to 33-month follow-up across a range of measures in all treatment groups, although the group by time interaction was not statistically significant.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduce a special section on intervention for children and adolescents with aggressive and disruptive behavior disorders, which provides data regarding the efficacy of multimodal interventions, importance of teacher and parent training, and the importance of providing encouragement to parents to keep them highly engaged in the treatment process.

TL;DR: In this article, a combination of techniques described by Stokes and Baer (1977) were implemented to foster the transfer of target behaviors across settings, and a multiple-baseline design across 4 participants was used to evaluate efforts to promote the generalization of social skills in a sports context.
TL;DR: It is indicated that CBT appears to have an immediate and long-term beneficial impact on physical health and that this effect is independent from its impact on anxiety symptoms.
TL;DR: This article used hypnotic induction to facilitate direct observation of multiple tics in a typically developing teenager in a home setting and implemented a comprehensive habit reversal program, including awareness training, competing response training, relaxation training, self-monitoring, social support, and contingency management.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a study in which referred children with disruptive behavior disorders were randomly assigned either to a combination of parent management training and social problem-solving skills training-i.e., the Utrecht Coping Power Program (UCPP) given by clinically inexperienced, but specifically trained, therapists-or to care as usual (C), given by experienced clinicians.
TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that anxiety and depression are tightly related and change together over the course of treatment, and suggest the need to consider changes in the diagnostic nomenclature and in treatment strategies for anxious depressed patients.
TL;DR: This paper examined key substance use, delinquency, and school-based aggressive behavior outcomes at a 1-year follow-up for a cognitive-behavioral intervention delivered to aggressive children and their parents at the time of these children's transition to middle school.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed that fear and avoidance behavior contribute significantly to the development and maintenance of chronic pain and related functional limitations, and that fear is typically expressed in three response domains, including cognitive, behavioral, and physiological.
