Internalizing and Externalizing Personality Dimensions and Clinical Problems in Adolescents
Abstract Ostensible psychiatric comorbidity can sometimes be explained by shared relations between diagnostic constructs and higher
order internalizing and externalizing dimensions. However, this possibility has not been explored with regard to comorbidity
between personality pathology and other clinical constructs in adolescents. In this study, personality pattern scales from
the Millon Adolescent Clinical Inventory in a sample of 492 adolescent inpatients were subjected to a principal components
analysis to yield oblique intern [...]

The Utility of Measuring Explanatory Flexibility in PTSD Research
Abstract This study explored how explanatory style and explanatory flexibility were related to each other and to symptoms of posttraumatic
stress disorder (PTSD). Sixty-eight college students who had endorsed DSM-IV-TR PTSD Criteria A1 and A2 on the Life Events
Checklist completed the Attributional Style Questionnaire as well as self-report measures of PTSD and depression. Explanatory
flexibility demonstrated independence from explanatory style. In addition, explanatory flexibility, but not explanatory style,
was associated with [...]

Determinants of Barriers to Treatment for Anxiety Disorders
Abstract The objectives of this study were to evaluate perceived unmet need for mental healthcare, determinants of unmet need, and
barriers to care in individuals with social anxiety (SA) or panic disorder with agoraphobia (PDA) in Quebec. Data from 206
participants diagnosed with SA or PDA were collected using an online questionnaire. Correlational analyses and binary stepwise
logistic regressions were conducted to explore determinants of perceived unmet need. Of the 206 participants, 144 (69.9%)
reported instances of unmet need [...]

Comorbid Depressive Disorders in Anxiety-disordered Youth: Demographic, Clinical, and Family Characteristics
Abstract Research indicates that depression and anxiety are highly comorbid in youth. Little is known, however, about the clinical
and family characteristics of youth with principal anxiety disorders and comorbid depressive diagnoses. The present study
examined the demographic, clinical, and family characteristics of 200 anxiety-disordered children and adolescents (aged 7–17)
with and without comorbid depressive disorders (major depressive disorder or dysthymic disorder), seeking treatment at a university-based
anxiety clinic. [...]

Post Stroke Depression: Treatments and Complications in a Young Adult
Abstract Post-stroke depression has been noted to be one of the most frequent complications of stroke with an estimated prevalence
of as high as 80%. However, the incidence of stroke in the young is extremely low and evidence based therapy for this complication
is quite limited. The case of a 28-year-old woman who experienced a basilar artery vasospasmic stroke resulting in anoxic
brain injury to the midbrain and paramedian thalamus is presented, along with a literature review of psychiatric complications
of this injury to includ [...]

Cognitive Biases in Depression and Eating Disorders
Abstract This study examined the link between cognitive biases (i.e., attention biases and implicit associations) and symptoms of depression
and eating disorders and whether the content of these biases is disorder-specific. These hypotheses were examined with a sample
of 202 undergraduate women. Cognitive biases were measured via computer-based tasks (i.e., the probe detection task and the
Implicit Association Test) and symptom levels were measured via interview and self-report. Partially supporting the main hypothesis,
symptoms [...]
