Although parental stress has been widely studied, no systematic review has yet focused specifically on early childhood. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review synthesizing evidence on factors examined as antecedents of parental stress during the first three years postpartum. Following PRISMA guidelines, we included 108 quantitative studies published in the past 12 years that investigated variables statistically modeled as predictors of parental stress. Key determinants of parental stress were identified at three levels: (1) at the personal level, internalizing symptoms, adverse childhood experiences, and perinatal negative experiences were related to higher stress; (2) at the relational level, marital satisfaction and coparenting quality were associated with lower stress; and (3) at the contextual level, social support from friends and family served as a protective factor of parental stress, while children's developmental problems served as risk factors. Despite the increasing number of longitudinal studies and the growing inclusion of fathers in research, few studies have focused on participants from social minority groups or from non-Western contexts. These findings may contribute to the development of effective strategies to support families during the early years of parenthood.</p>","PeriodicalId":51399,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review","volume":" ","pages":"571-593"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13562140/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148145159","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The current meta-analysis examines changes in subclinical mean-level overall symptom burden and shifts in specific domains among population-based samples of youth (1–18 years) globally over the last four decades. We search systematically in PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, EBSCO and Google Scholar with pre-registered criteria. Included studies ( <jats:italic>k</jats:italic> = 175, <jats:italic>N</jats:italic> = 418,528) use the standardized and cross-culturally validated Child Behavior Checklist with parent-, teacher-, and self-report. A cross-temporal meta-analysis is conducted with data points between 1981 to 2019. Age, sex, response rate, and geographic continent, used as moderators. Meta-regression analyses, with year of data collection as a predictor, shows overall symptom burden did not change in the past 40 years except for some decreases in early childhood (parent report), middle childhood (self-report) and teenage boys (self-report). There is evidence of change in specific symptom domains. We find strong, multi-informant evidence for decreased externalizing problems (parent report and self-report in girls) including aggression in middle childhood over time (parent report and self-report), and internalizing problems (parent and teacher report of boys and girls) in middle childhood. Single-informant changes show varying patterns in subscales of internalizing problems with increases in anxiety/depression in teens (parent report) and somatic complaints in teenage boys (self-report) next to a decrease in withdrawn/depressed symptoms (self-report of children and youth overall and parent report in middle childhood). Further single-informant changes suggest an increase in social problems in European teens (self-report) and a decrease in rule-breaking behavior (parent report). Finally, contradicting results were found for attention problems (an increase based on parent report and a decrease in middle childhood boys based on teacher report) and thought problems (an increase based on parent report and decrease in teenage boys based on self-report). However, the finding regarding attention problems should be interpreted cautiously given declining reliability of the subscale over time and evidence suggesting potential measurement non-invariance. In sum, our results do not support concerns that young people today have more overall symptom burden than previous generations, rather, they show a different composition of symptom profiles. However, an important limitation of the study is that post COVID-19 changes were not studied.","PeriodicalId":51399,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148842955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Supporting parents through mobile health (m-health) interventions is a promising non-pharmacological approach to ADHD management; however, evidence regarding their characteristics and effectiveness remains limited. This systematic review aimed to identify and synthesize m-health interventions designed to support parents of children with ADHD. A systematic search was conducted in Scopus, Web of Science, Embase, and PubMed. Data were synthesized according to intervention delivery formats, intervention aims, and reported outcomes. Of the 13,001 identified records, 21 studies met the inclusion criteria and were assessed as being of fair methodological quality with a low risk of bias. Because some interventions used multiple delivery formats and addressed multiple aims, percentages were calculated based on the total number of identified delivery-format and intervention-aim instances rather than the number of included studies. Mobile application-based interventions were the most frequently used delivery format (n = 17; 58.6%). Among direct parent-focused aims, enhancing parenting skills (n = 6; 17.6%) and emotional support and stress reduction (n = 5; 14.7%) were the most common, whereas improving child symptoms and executive functioning was the predominant indirect aim (n = 18; 52.9%). Across the included studies, m-health interventions demonstrated positive outcomes consistent with their intended aims, including improvements in parenting skills, parental knowledge, emotional well-being, treatment engagement, and child behavioral and ADHD-related outcomes. These findings suggest that m-health interventions are a promising approach to supporting parents of children with ADHD.

No significant changes were observed between post-intervention and follow-up, except for a small but significant improvement in emotional problems (g = 0.165). For this outcome, significantly greater symptom reductions were found in children, compared to adolescents, and in indicated prevention or treatment compared to non-indicated or universal implementation.

Although frequently encountered in clinical settings from parents seeking treatment for their children and themselves, FTL has received little systematic empirical attention in the clinical psychology literature. The present review disentangles FTL from related constructs and highlights the need for a dedicated body of research. First, we define FTL and review findings from one empirical study of FTL adults. Next, we compare FTL to neighboring constructs such as peter-pan syndrome, pathological demand avoidance, \"not in education, employment, or training\" (NEET), boomerang children, modern-type depression, and hikikomori, emphasizing both points of overlap and distinction. We then review relevant findings from these literatures, including discussion of prevalence rates, correlates, risk factors, and outcomes of related syndromes, with a particular focus on the hikikomori literature. Next, we review existing assessment tools and summarize emerging psychotherapeutic interventions. We conclude by considering how researchers can draw on existing literature to inform future research on FTL youth.

This systematic review synthesizes the current evidence base on interventions targeting mentalization and Theory of Mind (ToM), conceptualized here as related but distinct constructs, with ToM reflecting more specific cognitive perspective-taking skills within the broader mentalization framework. A comprehensive search across multiple databases, without restrictions on language or year of publication, identified 19 eligible studies involving autistic individuals and their caregivers. Study quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT), providing an indication of methodological rigor across diverse designs, though not a formal assessment of risk of bias. Across studies, interventions were generally associated with improvements in reflective functioning and performance on structured ToM tasks (e.g., false-belief understanding). However, these gains were predominantly observed in proximal, task-based measures, with limited and inconsistent evidence for generalization to real-world social functioning. This pattern raises important questions regarding the ecological validity of commonly used ToM assessments and whether observed improvements reflect meaningful changes in everyday social interaction or task-specific learning. Substantial heterogeneity in study design, intervention characteristics, outcome measures, and participant profiles further limits comparability and precludes firm conclusions regarding effectiveness. Overall, while mentalization- and ToM-based interventions show promise, the current evidence base remains methodologically and conceptually constrained. Future research should prioritize ecologically valid outcome measures, clearer specification of intervention mechanisms, and more rigorous study designs, including long-term follow-up, to better determine whether these interventions support meaningful, real-world social and relational outcomes for autistic individuals and their families.","PeriodicalId":51399,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Child and Family Psychology Review","volume":"15 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":6.9,"publicationDate":"2026-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148462464","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
