The intervention comprised 2 specific ACT sessions and Triple P that aimed to provide additive effects for parents of children with behavioural difficulties in a primary care setting.Method: Fifty-five parents were randomized to receive either Level 4 Triple P + ACT or standard Triple P.Results: Parents randomized to Triple P + ACT did not evidence decreases in parental stress relative to those in the standard Triple P. Both groups demonstrated reductions in terms of daily hassles. Findings favoured standard Triple P in terms of reductions in child behavioural difficulties although there was evidence of differing rates of externalizing diagnoses among the two groups.Conclusion: Findings from this study suggest minimal additive benefit of adding an ACT treatment component to standard Level 4 Triple P for parents of children presenting with behavioural difficulties in a primary care setting in relation to parental stress. The research suggests that standard behavioural management programmes may provide what parents require in primary care. However, ACT components may be effective for certain cohorts of parents who struggle to flexibly adapt behavioural management strategies in helping develop the parent-child relationship. Further research is required to identify which parents may benefit from the addition of ACT treatment components.","PeriodicalId":48211,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Clinical Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"298-314"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145483324","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, evidence for the roles of these personality dimensions in young people is weaker, particularly because most studies in this area have been conducted in non-clinical samples. The current study aimed to examine associations among self-criticism, dependency and a wide array of indices of interpersonal and intrapersonal functioning in a large sample of clinically depressed adolescents.Methods: The study sample consisted of 465 adolescents with clinical depression. Associations among self-criticism, dependency and indices of clinical symptoms and intrapersonal functioning (e.g., depression, anxiety, antisocial behaviour, obsessive-compulsive features, self-harm and suicidality) and interpersonal functioning (i.e., friendship, family functioning and parenting as reported by adolescents) were examined using correlation and multiple regression analyses.Results: Consistent with findings in adults, self-criticism was more consistently associated with indices of maladaptive functioning than dependency. There was also evidence for gender incongruence effects in that self-criticism in girls and dependency in boys were associated with increased anxiety, obsessive-compulsive symptoms and suicidal ideation.Conclusions: This is the first study in a large sample of clinically depressed adolescents to demonstrate that the personality dimensions of self-criticism and dependency are associated with clinical features and functioning. The implications of these findings for future research on the role of these personality dimensions in adolescent depression are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48211,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Clinical Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"639-655"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13159778/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147277522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Internal consistency was excellent for the MDS-16 total scale (α = .93) and good for the MDS-5 (α = .87). Multivariate analyses, controlling for sociodemographic variables and comorbid symptom severity, showed significantly higher MD scores in the ADHD group across total and subscale scores (η2 = .17 for Impairment, .14 for Kinesthesia, .08 for Yearning, .04 for Music). Item-level analyses showed that Yearning and Music/Kinesthesia items clustered in the moderate-to-lower AUC range, whereas Impairment items clustered at the highest AUC levels. Convergent validity was supported by moderate correlations between MD scales and ADHD symptoms, excessive mind wandering, and dissociation (r = .51-.63), while ADHD symptoms and excessive mind wandering showed a markedly stronger association (r = .82).Conclusions: The Turkish MDS-16 and MDS-5 demonstrated good validity and reliability, with Yearning and Music/Kinesthesia subscales capturing more MD-specific features, whereas Impairment showed greater overlap with ADHD.

This project investigated the acceptability and effectiveness of delivering cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) for patients with depression returning to a TT service with childhood trauma and associated relational difficulties.Methods: A case-controlled pilot study using TT sessional outcome measures. A 16-session CAT was offered to N = 76 patients who had previously received a high-intensity intervention (mainly cognitive-behavioural therapy; CBT) in the same TT service. Dropout rates, recovery rates and when recovery occurred during the CAT treatment episode were calculated. CAT outcomes were compared against the previous treatment episodes (n = 47) and also benchmarked against the evidence base. Patients were followed up after receiving CAT (n = 16) to assess the durability of change. The number then returning to the TT service after receiving CAT was also tracked.Results: The dropout rate for CAT was 16.9% and the reliable recovery rate was 40%. Reliable and/or clinically significant reductions in depression tended to occur during early CAT sessions. At a group level, there were significant reductions in depression during CAT. There was no evidence of relapse at follow-up. The return rate to the service following CAT was 28.94%.Conclusions: CAT appears useful to consider in the offer for patients returning to TT services.

Reflexive thematic analysis was used to develop a nuanced understanding of their experiences.Results: Three themes were constructed: (1) The Limitations and Challenges of Diagnostic Overshadowing, capturing how participants felt their BPD diagnosis failed to fully explain their difficulties, prompting them to seek further assessment; (2) Stereotyping and Misconceptions, exploring the impact of stigma and stereotyping, both internalized and encountered within clinical settings; and (3) Learning to Cope in a New World, describing how receiving an autism diagnosis enabled participants to reframe past experiences and develop new, often sensory-informed coping strategies.Conclusion: These findings underscore the need for diagnostic processes that are open, curious and sensitive to overlapping presentations, and attentive to how historic stereotyping may shape clinical decision-making.

This study developed and validated the Suicide Risk Assessment Confidence Scale (SRACS) to assess clinicians' confidence in suicide risk assessment and determine its underlying structure.Methods: The development process included focus groups with 367 clinicians to generate statements, expert panel refinement into scale items, and administration of a 73-item preliminary scale to 375 United Kingdom (UK) National Health Service (NHS) mental health professionals. Analysis involved exploratory factor analysis, item response theory refinement, and confirmatory factor analysis.Results: A four-factor structure: Professional Conduct, Worry, Competence, and Deference was confirmed. Moderate intercorrelations between these dimensions were not reducible to a single factor. The final 46-item SRACS demonstrated good internal consistency across all subscales, with confirmatory analysis supporting the correlated four-factor model.Conclusions: The SRACS is psychometrically sound, capturing the multifaceted nature of clinicians' confidence in suicide risk assessment.

Such parents report high support needs, yet service provision is often limited. Services often support children through providing various psychological interventions to parents. Quantitative evidence for such interventions is mixed and qualitative evidence is sparse. This review therefore aimed to synthesise the perspectives of UK parents regarding interventions for their autistic child.Method: The databases Scopus, Embase, Medline, PubMed, PsycInfo, CINAHL, Web of Science and ASSIA were searched in February 2025. Inclusion criteria constituted qualitative articles published in English from 2004 onwards exploring UK parents' perspectives of interventions aimed at supporting autistic children. Articles were evaluated using Standard Quality Assessment Criteria. Thematic meta-synthesis was conducted.Results: Fourteen papers were identified: eight high-quality, one medium-quality, and four low-quality. Interventions were psychoeducational behavioural, communication-based, sensory-related or mental-health based in nature. Themes included change, relationship with help, parents' need to process and solidarity.Conclusions: Facilitators of positive change included learning, empowerment, structure and rigour, while barriers included delivery issues and unhelpful information. Parents reported finding solidarity amongst similar parents helpful. Reflective space was deemed useful in facilitating new understanding of autistic lives.
