The current narrative of a "migration crisis" has so severely misdirected the understanding of the fundamental human safety, security, and health challenges that confront migrants, that we feel compelled to reframe the issue as a public health and humanitarian emergency. By looking at migrants as an economic threat or as an "invasion" that threatens the American way of life," it becomes difficult to view their humanity as vulnerable individuals who confront a host of challenges at the border, including abuse, dehumanization, and incarceration. The forced migration of thousands of individuals and families who flee their countries of origin to escape violence and insecurity to then be demonized and retraumatized at the border is a public health emergency.

Hopeful parents facing infertility dedicate significant sums of money, not to mention time, energy, and their own bodies, in the pursuit of biological parenthood via assisted reproductive technology (ART). Yet because the success rate of ART varies depending on a range of factors and resources remain finite, many undergoing treatment will not manage to biologically conceive. How do people who do not conceive with ART come to terms with this reality and the possibility that they may need to walk away from future treatments? Supplementing prior research that explores why women end treatment and what makes it difficult, this study draws upon 23 semi-structured, in-depth interviews to examine how women diagnosed with infertility consider and/or initiate discontinuation of treatment aimed at biological reproduction.

Trichotillomania, a psycho-dermatologic disorder defined by self-inflicted often noticeable hair loss through hair-pulling, is difficult to manage and treat. Its etiology is multifactorial and frequently is complicated by comorbid conditions like anxiety and depression. Evidence-based treatment is limited but options involve a combination of pharmacotherapy and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), habit reversal training (HRT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT).

Background: There is considerable conceptual overlap between Autistic hyperfocus and flow, yet these phenomena have seldom been associated in the literature. Moreover, no studies have provided an in-depth empirical investigation of Autistic people's flow-like or hyperfocus experiences. In this study, we sought to address this gap by investigating Autistic people's phenomenological experiences of task immersion, and how their experiences relate to existing conceptualizations of flow, hyperfocus, and monotropism.
