   Abstract = {We examined associations between overall posttraumatic
             stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms, symptom clusters of PTSD
             (reexperiencing, avoidance, dysphoria, and arousal), and
             relationship adjustment cross sectionally and longitudinally
             using self-report measures from a dyadic sample of U.S.
             National Guard soldiers from the Iraq war and their intimate
             partners (N = 49 couples). Results of multilevel modeling
             revealed that Time 1 PTSD symptom severity significantly
             predicted lower relationship adjustment as rated by partners
             at Time 2 after controlling for baseline relationship
             adjustment (β = -.20, p = .025). Total PTSD symptoms did
             not significantly predict soldiers' ratings of relationship
             adjustment at Time 2. For soldiers, the PTSD symptom cluster
             of dysphoria was uniquely and significantly related to
             relationship adjustment ratings both at Time 1 and at Time
             2, controlling for Time 1 adjustment. For partners, none of
             the soldiers' PTSD symptoms clusters was uniquely associated
             with Time 1 relationship adjustment or with change in
             adjustment over time. In contrast, findings regarding the
             effect of relationship adjustment on changes in PTSD over
             time found that Time 1 relationship adjustment was not
             associated with changes in PTSD symptoms at Time
             2.},

   Abstract = {OBJECTIVE: The purpose of the present study was to examine
             the role of experiential avoidance (EA) in relationship
             adjustment, psychological aggression, and physical
             aggression among military couples. METHOD: The sample was
             composed of 49 male soldiers who recently returned from
             deployment to Iraq and their female partners. As part of a
             larger study, participants completed self-report measures of
             emotional avoidance (EA; Acceptance and Action
             Questionnaire-II), relationship adjustment (Dyadic
             Adjustment Scale), and conflict (Conflict Tactics Scale-2).
             Data from men and women were simultaneously modeled with the
             actor-partner interdependence model. RESULTS: Men's EA was
             associated with decreases in relationship adjustment and
             increases in physical aggression perpetration and
             victimization. For women, relationship adjustment was not
             associated with EA, but greater EA among women was
             associated with decreased relationship adjustment for male
             partners. Associations among EA and psychological aggression
             were nonsignificant. CONCLUSIONS: These data provide
             evidence that EA may play a critical role in the
             relationships of couples following deployment and highlight
             the importance of targeting EA in couple
             therapy.},

             (PTSD) symptoms were assessed across two time points in a
             sample of 313 married or partnered National Guard soldiers
             recently returned from combat duty in Iraq. Structural
             equation modeling using a four-factor model for PTSD found
             the latent variable dysphoria (reflecting generalized
             distress including aspects of emotional numbing and arousal)
             had the strongest independent contribution to predicting
             relationship adjustment at Time 1 and indirectly predicted
             poorer relationship adjustment at Time 2. Exploratory
             analysis of gender differences (n = 33 women; n = 280 men)
             suggested a different pattern of relations between PTSD
             factors and relationship adjustment among female soldiers at
             Time 1, with a trend toward trauma specific avoidance being
             more highly related to relationship adjustment. Clinical and
             research implications are discussed.},

   Abstract = {Research examining relationship quality among combat
             veterans largely focuses on the role of posttraumatic stress
             disorder (PTSD), with less attention devoted to other
             correlates of PTSD and relationship quality, such as
             personality and problematic drinking. In a sample of
             combat-exposed National Guard soldiers recently returned
             from Iraq (N = 308), we examined (a) a meditational pathway
             from negative emotionality, to elevated postdeployment PTSD
             symptoms, to poorer relationship quality; and (b) the
             moderating role of problematic drinking. Moderated mediation
             regression strategies supported the mediating role of
             postdeployment PTSD symptoms, but not the moderating role of
             problematic drinking on soldiers' relationship quality.
             Findings suggest negative emotionality creates a
             vulnerability to more severe early postdeployment PTSD
             symptoms and poorer early postdeployment relationship
             quality.},

   Abstract = {Historically, certain terms used to describe psychopathology
             have evolved over time due to changing social and political
             contexts. This paper explores the importance of a clear and
             consistent language for characterizing suicide-related
             behaviors with a particular focus on the commonly used label
             "suicide gesture." The historical and contemporary uses of
             the term are explored, and clinical, research, and training
             implications are discussed. Clinicians and researchers are
             strongly encouraged to consider discontinuing the use of the
             term suicide gesture in light of its associated dismissive
             connotations and inconsistent application in clinical
             practice and research. In lieu of the term suicide gesture,
             recommendations are made regarding an increased emphasis by
             clinicians and researchers on more precise descriptions of
             suicidal behaviors and the functional assessment of
             suicide-related behaviors.},

             Health Services for Children and Their Families Program.
             Caregiver strain, family functioning, and youth functional
             impairment were assessed with the Caregiver Strain
             Questionnaire, Family Life Questionnaire, and Columbia
             Impairment Scale. Caregivers of suicidal and nonsuicidal
             youth differed in subjective internalizing strain (e.g.,
             worry and guilt) and objective strain (e.g., constraints on
             activities). Differences in objective strain persisted even
             after controlling for family life and youth functional
             impairment.},

   Abstract = {Service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan face
             psychological challenges that can exert profound effects on
             families and couples, but can also be treated within a
             systemic context. Couple therapy offers a means of
             increasing social support, decreasing interpersonal
             conflict, and addressing the experiential avoidance that
             maintains posttraumatic symptoms. For combat veterans and
             their partners, we present an adaptation of integrative
             behavioral couple therapy (IBCT) that reduces conflict and
             encourages intimacy through acceptance and skills
             strategies. By doing so, IBCT exposes service members in
             couple therapy to emotions, interpersonal situations, and
             activities that facilitate recovery from combat-related
             distress. We illustrate common presenting problems in this

             augmenting sertraline with prolonged exposure (PE) would
             result in greater improvement than continuation with
             sertraline alone. Outpatient men and women with chronic PTSD
             completed 10 weeks of open label sertraline and then were
             randomly assigned to five additional weeks of sertraline
             alone (n = 31) or sertraline plus 10 sessions of
             twice-weekly PE (n = 34). Results indicated that sertraline
             led to a significant reduction in PTSD severity after 10
             weeks but was associated with no further reductions after
             five more weeks. Participants who received PE showed further
             reduction in PTSD severity. This augmentation effect was
             observed only for participants who showed a partial response
             to medication.},

             Measures were taken pre-treatment, post-treatment, and at
             six-month follow-up in 34 depressed older adults receiving
             the treatment protocol described in Lynch, Morse, Mendelson

             adults, American Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, 11, 33-45,

             levels of thought suppression were associated with higher

             addition, these results provide preliminary evidence that
             the tendency to cope with unwanted thoughts by deliberate
             attempts to not experience such thoughts may be an important
             pre-treatment predictor of outcome among depressed older
             adults. Larger studies are needed to explore whether thought

   Abstract = {BACKGROUND: Generalized social phobia is common, persistent,
             and disabling and is often treated with selective serotonin
             reuptake inhibitor drugs or cognitive behavioral therapy.
             OBJECTIVE: We compared fluoxetine (FLU), comprehensive
             cognitive behavioral group therapy (CCBT), placebo (PBO),
             and the combinations of CCBT/FLU and CCBT/PBO. DESIGN:
             Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial. SETTING:
             Two academic outpatient psychiatric centers. PATIENTS:
             Subjects meeting a primary diagnosis of generalized social
             phobia were recruited via advertisement. Seven hundred
             twenty-two were screened, and 295 were randomized and
             available for inclusion in an intention-to-treat efficacy
             analysis; 156 (52.9%) were male, 226 (76.3%) were white, and
             mean age was 37.1 years. INTERVENTIONS: Treatment lasted for
             14 weeks. Fluoxetine and PBO were administered at doses from
             10 mg/d to 60 mg/d (or equivalent). Group comprehensive
             cognitive behavioral therapy was administered weekly for 14
             sessions. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: An independent blinded
             evaluator assessed response with the Brief Social Phobia
             Scale and Clinical Global Impressions scales as primary
             outcomes. A videotaped behavioral assessment served as a
             secondary outcome, using the Subjective Units of Distress
             Scale. Adverse effects were measured by self-rating. Each
             treatment was compared by means of chi2 tests and piecewise
             linear mixed-effects models. RESULTS: Clinical Global
             Impressions scales response rates in the intention-to-treat
             sample were 29 (50.9%) (FLU), 31 (51.7%) (CCBT), 32 (54.2%)
             (CCBT/FLU), 30 (50.8%) (CCBT/PBO), and 19 (31.7%) (PBO),
             with all treatments being significantly better than PBO. On
             the Brief Social Phobia Scale, all active treatments were
             superior to PBO. In the linear mixed-effects models
             analysis, FLU was more effective than CCBT/FLU, CCBT/PBO,
             and PBO at week 4; CCBT was also more effective than
             CCBT/FLU and CCBT/PBO. By the final visit, all active
             treatments were superior to PBO but did not differ from each
             other. Site effects were found for the Subjective Units of
             Distress Scale assessment, with FLU and CCBT/FLU superior to
             PBO at Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC.
             Treatments were well tolerated. CONCLUSIONS: All active
             treatments were superior to PBO on primary outcomes.
             Combined treatment did not yield any further advantage.
             Notwithstanding the benefits of treatment, many patients
             remained symptomatic after 14 weeks.},

             sample of 159 depressed elders. Regression analyses
             indicated that comorbidity of anxiety and depression was
             associated with a history of a greater number of depressive
             episodes, more negative stressors and with a higher
             self-reported average stress level over the past six months.
             Significant bivariate correlates also included feeling
             sinful, guilty, or worthless, early depressive onset and
             attempted suicide. The findings suggest a stress-related
