TL;DR: Results support the notion that mindfulness-based interventions hold promise as evidence-based treatments and effects on specific disorder subgroups showed the most consistent evidence in support of mindfulness for depression, pain conditions, smoking, and addictive disorders.

TL;DR: An overview of sex/gender differences in the biology, epidemiology and treatment of SUDs is provided, especially focusing on hormonal factors in SUD course and treatment outcomes.

TL;DR: Overall, prototypical trajectories have been identified across independent studies in relatively consistent proportions, with resilience being the modal response to adversity, and trajectory models robustly identify clinically relevant patterns of response to potential trauma.

TL;DR: It is argued that routine collection of gender identity data could advance the understanding of mental health risk and resilience factors among TGNC populations, and to describe what gaps persist in this literature.

TL;DR: It is found that concepts, methods and designs in current resilience intervention studies are of limited use to properly assess efficacy of interventions to foster resilience and propose standards for future intervention research based on recent developments in the field.

TL;DR: An in-depth examination of the literature on two widely-studied emotion regulation strategies, expressive suppression (ES) and cognitive reappraisal (CR), in SAD and MDD shows that SAD is broadly characterized by an overreliance on ES, which is associated with negative social and emotional consequences, and proposes multiple pathways by which impairments in ES and CR may increase risk for the co-occurrence of SAD.

TL;DR: Guided Internet-based interventions lead to substantial positive treatment effects on treatment response and remission at post-treatment and may complement existing services for depression and potentially reduce the gap between the need and provision of evidence-based treatments.

TL;DR: Future research that focuses on understanding causal pathways that link childhood maltreatment to dysfunction in the neocortical and limbic pathways that process affective information and facilitate cognitive control might result in more enduring effects of treatments for depression.

TL;DR: Several 'biopsychosocial' mechanisms hold promise as viable treatment targets for adolescent behavioral sleep interventions, which may reduce both insomnia and internalizing symptoms.

TL;DR: The aim of this paper was to determine not only the overall remission rate in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) for anxiety disorders, but also to examine whether the different definitions of remission lead to significantly different remission rates.

TL;DR: Evidence that problems in cognition and emotionality are prominent among those diagnosed with the disorder, are not artifacts of symptom state, and relate substantively to poorer outcomes are reviewed.

TL;DR: These findings provide evidence of disruptions in several domains of responding to uncertainty, threat, and reward associated with IU that may confer risk for the development of psychopathology.

TL;DR: This paper attempts to address this deficit by reviewing the wider range of challenges, rewards, successes, and failures that transitioning veterans might experience, as well as the factors that might moderate these experiences.

TL;DR: There is a tremendous need for more studies focused on treatment of perinatal anxiety and trauma-related disorders, as well as psychopharmacological effectiveness studies.

TL;DR: Evidence to date suggests that asking research participants about suicide does not increase risk, and may be associated with small benefits, and ethics review boards should calibrate their consideration of the risks associated with participation based on the available evidence and relative to the cost of depriving potential participants of any benefits that participation may offer.

TL;DR: A resilience framework for research, practice, and policy is outlined by outlining three important directions for future research: replication across samples and measures, illumination of processes leading to resilience, and incorporation of a multidimensional approach.

TL;DR: Encouraging implications are provided regarding the long-term efficacy of interventions and the durability of symptom reduction, but must be interpreted in parallel with methodological considerations and study characteristics of RCTs.

TL;DR: How individuals respond when looking in a mirror and how mirrors can be used therapeutically, and the evidence in favor of mirror exposure therapy are discussed, as well as clinical indications and technical considerations for the use.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that rumination is a salient process in ED psychopathology, though the literature is characterized by methodological limitations and the need for more fully elaborated theories on the role of rumination in EDs.

TL;DR: Evidence is found that trauma focused psychological therapies can be effective in improving symptoms for refugees and asylum seekers with PTSD in this population of survivors of large scale conflict.

TL;DR: Results demonstrated an association between repetitive negative thinking and deficits in only one specific cognitive control function, namely difficulty discarding no longer relevant material from working memory (r = -0.20), which remained significant after controlling for level of psychopathology.

TL;DR: Moderate to strong evidence appeared for a relationship of fatigue with depressive symptoms, anxiety, distress, sleep disturbances, lower physical activity levels, pain, difficulties with coping with cancer, and catastrophizing about symptoms.

TL;DR: It is argued for the importance of experimental paradigms and real-time measurement to capture the interaction between social approach and avoidance in characterizing social affiliation in schizophrenia and suggestions for how researchers might move the field forward are suggested.

TL;DR: This comprehensive review serves as a critical examination of the empirical literature regarding major tenets of inhibitory learning theory and the potential for such techniques to augment exposure therapy for anxiety disorders.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the relationship between childhood adversity and psychosis is mediated by several "families" of mediating variables including post-traumatic sequelae, affective dysfunction and dysregulation, and maladaptive cognitive factors.

TL;DR: Alcohol expectancies form an important framework through which drinking behavior can be explained over time and indicated that AE function as mediators of the relations between the various individual and environmental predictors and adolescent's alcohol use.

TL;DR: Overall, there was lack of evidence in support of suicidality risk assessments successfully predicting future suicide attempts, and adaptations to current suicIDality assessment tools and priorities for future research are recommended in order to better conceptualise suicideality and its measurement in autism.

TL;DR: Reviewing 30 experimental studies that have examined the effects of different types of mindfulness practice on cravings for food, cigarettes and alcohol provides tentative support for Buddhist models of craving that suggest mindfulness practice may confer unique benefits in terms of both craving reduction and reducing the extent to which craving leads to consumption.

TL;DR: A systematic review of the correlates of the Centrality of Event Scale shows that the CES probes aspects of autobiographical memory of broad relevance to clinical disorders, and with specific implications for theories of PTSD.

TL;DR: This work reviews and synthesizes the available literature on masculinity and emotion regulation into a cross-cutting framework of masculinity and men's psychopathology, and makes recommendations for an integrated intervention approach.
