Clinical Correlates of Symptom Severity in Skin Picking Disorder
Skin picking disorder (SPD) remains poorly understood with limited data regarding its underlying pathophysiology and appropriate treatment choices. One approach to refining our treatment of SPD might be to better understand the range of illness severity and the clinical associations with severity. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Transdiagnostic psychiatric disorder risk associated with early age of menarche: a latent modeling approach
Earlier age of pubertal maturation in females is associated with increased risk for mental health problems in adolescence, compared with on-time or later maturation. However, most investigations of pubertal timing and mental health consider risk for individual disorders and fail to account for comorbidity. A latent-modeling approach using a large, nationally representative sample could better explain the transdiagnostic nature of the consequences of early-onset puberty.

Do complaints of everyday cognitive failures in high schizotypy relate to emotional working memory deficits in the lab?
This study sought to explore whether an affective n-back working memory task would elicit impaired performance in schizotypy, echoing complaints concerning real world cognition. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Examination of humiliation and past maladaptive family context in persecutory ideation: an exploratory study
Previous studies have demonstrated that early interpersonal trauma is involved in the development of persecutory ideation. However, the specific influence of past and current social and familial variables has never been previously explored. Thus, the aim of the present study was to examine the potential role of current and past interpersonal humiliation events (e.g. to be cruelly criticized, submitted, bullied, insulted, scorned, etc.) and a negative family context on the development of persecutory ideation.

Interpersonal Problems across Levels of the Psychopathology Hierarchy
We examined the relationship between psychopathology and interpersonal problems in a sample of 825 clinical and community participants. Sixteen psychiatric diagnoses and five transdiagnostic dimensions were examined in relation to self-reported interpersonal problems. The structural summary method was used with the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems Circumplex Scales to examine interpersonal problem profiles for each diagnosis and dimension. We built a structural model of mental disorders including factors corresponding to detachment (avoidant personality, social phobia, major depression), internalizing (dependent persona...

Mapping emotional disorders at the finest level: Convergent validity and joint structure based on alternative measures
Traditional categorization of emotional disorders suffers from within-disorder heterogeneity and excessive comorbidity. Quantitative nosology instead proposes grouping homogenous components of these disorders within a higher order internalizing dimension. However, the precise number, composition, and hierarchical structure of these components remains unclear and varies based on assessment tools. (Source: Comprehensive Psychiatry)

Understanding Eating Disorders within Internalizing Psychopathology: A Novel Transdiagnostic, Hierarchical-Dimensional Model
Several problems with the classification and diagnosis of eating disorders (EDs) have been identified, including proliferation of ‘other specified’ diagnoses, within-disorder heterogeneity, and frequent diagnostic migration over time. Beyond problems within EDs, past research suggested that EDs fit better in a spectrum of internalizing psychopathology (characterized by mood and anxiety disorders) than in a separate diagnos tic class.

Predictors of comorbid eating disorders and association with other obsessive-compulsive spectrum disorders in trichotillomania
Trichotillomania (TTM) and eating disorders (ED) share many phenomenological similarities, including ritualized compulsive behaviors. Given this, and that comorbid EDs may represent additional functional burden to hair pullers, we sought to identify factors that predict diagnosis of an ED in a TTM population. Subjects included 555 adult females (age range 18 –65) with DSM-IV-TR TTM or chronic hair pullers recruited from multiple sites. 7.2% (N=40) of our TTM subjects met criteria for an ED in their lifetime.
