Emotion dysregulation, help-seeking attitudes, and posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms: A structural equation model.

Most college students have experienced an adverse event in their lifetime, yet help-seeking rates remain low. This study seeks to understand psychological factors that might contribute to delays in treatment initiation among trauma-affected students. Our sample consisted of 531 undergraduate students of which 27% scored above the clinical cutoff for PTSD using the PTSD Checklist for DSM-5 (PCL-5).

Predictors of Treatment Satisfaction Among Adolescents Following an Intensive Cognitive-Behavioral Intervention for Panic Disorder.

No studies to date examine predictors of treatment satisfaction following intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy interventions among adolescents. Given the challenges to treatment adherence among adolescents, and the promise intensive interventions hold for providing rapid symptom relief and increasing access to care, data examining adolescents' satisfaction with intensive programs are needed. Twenty-four adolescents (ages 12-17) with panic disorder received an eight-day intensive cognitive-behavioral therapy intervention.

Do Coping Strategies Differentially Mediate the Relationship Between Emotional Closeness and Complicated Grief and Depression?

Although complicated grief (CG) following the death of a loved one has traditionally been viewed as avoidance-driven, recent research implicates approach behavior. Researchers have investigated how coping styles predict CG; however, emotional closeness remains unexamined. This study investigated the differential relationship of approach- and avoidance-focused coping on CG and depressive symptoms.

Finding mental health providers in the United States: a national survey and implications for policy and practice.

Background: Research suggests that a major barrier to mental health treatment is not knowing where to go for services, yet little is known about the specific steps people take to find treatment.

Aims: To (1) understand the process people would undertake if they decided they needed mental health treatment and (2) examine how well the process that current non-treatment-seeking individuals describe matches that used by individuals currently in treatment.

Methods: Adults recruited online via Amazon's Mechanical Turk ( = 669) answered questions about finding a mental health provider.
