Tension theory suggests that exposure to stress events may stimulate novel and flexible thinking. Historical evidence indicates that many eminent creators experienced significant childhood trauma, implying that creativity can emerge as an adaptive response. Building on this framework, we examined how cumulative trauma exposure relates to creativity and whether complex posttraumatic stress disorder (CPTSD) symptoms moderate this relationship. Data were collected from 1,215 university students, including cumulative trauma exposure, CPTSD symptoms, and creativity assessments. Overall, the trauma-creativity relationship followed an inverted U-shaped pattern. Latent profile analysis of CPTSD symptoms revealed four adaptation profiles: disturbances in self-organization group (14.2%), CPTSD group (10.8%), posttraumatic stress disorder group (21.6%), and low-impact group (53.4%). Posttraumatic stress disorder and disturbances in self-organization groups showed the classic inverted U pattern, whereas the CPTSD group showed a positive linear association, particularly for divergent thinking. The low-impact group displayed a logarithmic trend, suggesting a ceiling effect. These findings indicate that the trauma-creativity relationship depends on posttraumatic adaptation profiles and varies across creative domains, providing a framework to reconcile inconsistent findings in creativity research and offering a novel perspective for understanding posttraumatic psychological processes.

While the feedback loop between public discourse and psychological terminology has always existed, social media and artificial intelligence have accelerated this process, potentially prioritizing engagement over scientific accuracy. This has contributed to increased awareness and reduced stigma around mental health but has also facilitated the spread of inaccuracies, potential for overpathologization, and departures from diagnostic criteria. This article explores the ethical implications of this evolving digital landscape through a utilitarian framework, weighing the benefits of expression and sharing personal experiences against the risks of conceptual shifts and diagnostic imprecision. Building upon existing ethical standards from the American Psychological Association, this article provides practical recommendations for clinical and counseling psychologists, including engaging with the evolving social media-artificial intelligence feedback loop by thoughtfully addressing diagnostic misperceptions, incorporating dimensional models into psychoeducation, and advocating for the ethical use of artificial intelligence to enhance clinical practice and research. This article also proposes new ethical guidelines to address how American Psychological Association's ethical principles apply to emerging challenges in a digital age.

The first perspective characterizes men as entitled and reactionary, prone to aggression when their societal expectations are unmet. This view aligns with the frustration-aggression hypothesis where unmet desires lead to hostile behaviors, particularly among individuals who perceive a loss of status and significance. Conversely, the second perspective views men as victims of rapid societal changes, such as job displacement, educational disparities, and shifting gender roles. This lens sees men as isolated and struggling to adapt to a new social landscape, leading to feelings of alienation and increased susceptibility to extremist ideologies. Social disconnection models, particularly those focused on ostracism, provide a framework for understanding these dynamics, highlighting the emotional and psychological toll of isolation. This article attempts to reconcile these contrasting views, providing an integrated perspective that can help clarify the phenomenon more fully and guide ongoing attempts to alleviate it.

Themes of transformative and relational leadership and culturally responsive practice are woven throughout the narrative to illuminate the ways in which community, mentorship, and structural opportunity inform leadership emergence. It provides insights into navigating an unprecedented presidential year, where leadership required drawing upon cultural grounding, crisis expertise, and a deep commitment to collective care.

While generative artificial intelligence systems like ChatGPT or therapy chatbots can be easily accessible, low cost, and oddly compassionate, using them without oversight introduces empirically documented risks such as misinformation and sycophancy, as well as emerging concerns related to cultural bias and potential therapeutic alliance disruption. Drawing from the American Psychological Association (2017) and ethical reflections offered by Chenneville et al. (2024), this conceptual and practice-oriented article applies Crowley and Gottlieb's (2012) primary risk-management model to build a forward-looking, preventive approach to these new challenges. The primary risk-management model emphasizes five iterative stages: resource accumulation, attention and detection of potential risk, initial appraisal of potential risk, preliminary risk-management efforts, and elicitation and use of feedback. Through conceptual mapping and application to a worst-case illustration, this article shows how primary risk-management model-based prevention can strengthen ethical alertness and reflexive judgment in psychologists facing generative artificial intelligence-related dilemmas. The discussion concludes with suggestions for education, professional policy, and empirical research, all aimed at reinforcing preparedness and reducing predictable harm.

In the United States, caste functions at the intersection of race, immigration, gender, class, and religion, profoundly affecting the lived experiences of caste-oppressed people. This article theorizes caste critical race theory (CasteCRIT), grounded in Dalit feminist epistemology, and stands as an anticasteist, anti-racist, and anticolonial psychological theory. CasteCRIT builds on critical race theory as its necessary foundation, employing Caste × Race as the explanatory construct and drawing from the experiences of caste-oppressed individuals in the United States. This framework has four core tenets: (a) caste is a socioreligious construction based on graded hierarchical oppression; (b) caste is normal, pervasive, and deeply embedded versus rare or incidental; (c) caste dominant groups directly benefitted from the Civil Rights Movement; and (d) caste-oppressed people's testimonies are necessary counternarratives. The psychological applications of CasteCRIT are examined in relation to education, training, research, practice, and advocacy.

Although internet-based interventions are widely used, their associations with changes in symptom network structure remain unclear. Here, in a real-world observational cohort of 26,643 adults completing an internet-based emotion regulation intervention, we examined pre- to postintervention differences in depressive symptom network structure, global connectedness, and symptom centrality, stratified by reduction status. For the overall sample, analyses indicated that the two core depressive symptoms (i.e., depressed mood and anhedonia) showed reduced centrality after the intervention, whereas several noncore symptoms either increased or remained unchanged. The \"symptom reduction\" and \"symptom nonreduction\" subgroups showed largely comparable network characteristics at baseline. After the intervention, the symptom reduction subgroup displayed lower global network strength, a reorganized network topology, and reduced centrality of the core symptoms, whereas the symptom nonreduction subgroup did not show salient network alteration. Further analyses using residualized symptom change scores showed a similar pattern: Among individuals with comparable baseline depressive symptom severity, those with better-than-expected outcomes showed lower postintervention network connectivity than those with poorer-than-expected outcomes. Clinically anchored improvement analyses further indicated that reduced centrality of depressed mood was observed across alternative definitions of improvement. Although causal inference is precluded by the observational design, this study provides large-scale descriptive real-world evidence on how depressive symptom networks change alongside symptom reduction during routine use of a digital intervention.
