The evidence supporting the presence of individual brain structure correlates of the externalizing spectrum (EXT) is sparse and mixed. To date, large-sample studies of brain-EXT relations have mainly found null to very small effects by focusing exclusively on either EXT-related personality traits (e.g.

Most prior research on MDMA and personality has focused on cross-sectional comparisons of MDMA users and non-users; as such, well-controlled research assessing personality and affective states following MDMA vs placebo administration is needed. In the current pre-registered study, we investigated the impact of MDMA administration on five-factor model (FFM) traits and affective states before and 48 h after drug administration in a randomized, placebo-controlled study of healthy adults ( = 34).

- The study aimed to assess training and clinical experiences regarding the treatment of antagonism in clinical psychology doctoral programs, focusing on traits like aggressiveness and callousness.
- Researchers surveyed 376 psychology graduate students, revealing significantly less training and clinical experience for treating antagonistic patients compared to those with predominant negative affect like anxiety and depression.
- Findings showed that adult-focused students reported particularly low competency ratings and treatment experiences for antagonism, highlighting a critical gap in empirical research and training in this area, prompting calls for more focus and resources to address it.
Sex differences in psychopathology are well-established, with females demonstrating higher rates of internalizing (INT) psychopathology and males demonstrating higher rates of externalizing (EXT) psychopathology. Using two waves of data from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study ( = 6,778 at each wave), the current study tested whether the relations between sex and psychopathology might be accounted for by structural brain differences. In general, we found robust, relatively consistent relations between sex and structural morphometry across waves.

Objective: This article reviews the EHVP.
Methods: The different treatment tracks that provide integrated and comprehensive treatment are highlighted along with a review of the standard, adjunctive, and auxiliary services that complement individualized treatment plans.
