Evidence-Based Interventions for Depressed Mothers and their Young Children Sherryl H. Goodman* and Emory University Judy Garber* Vanderbilt University Abstract Depression in mothers is a significant risk factor for the development of maladjustment in children. This paper focuses on modifiable risk processes linking depression in mothers and adaptation in their young children (i.e., infancy through preschool-age). First, the authors present evidence of the efficacy of interventions for reducing the primary source of risk – maternal depression. Second, they describe a central mechanism – parenting behaviors – underlying the relation between maternal depression and children’s adjustment. Third, the authors recommend two different integrated interventions that successfully treat mothers’ depression and enhance parenting skills with infants and young children. Finally, the paper notes the possible need for supplementary interventions to address severity and comorbidity of mothers’ depression, barriers to engaging in treatment, and the sustainability of program benefits.

A study led by Douglas McMahon, Ph.D., reveals that although the clocks of individuals exposed to constant light may get out of synch, they keep ticking. The research was published online Feb. 23 in the journal Nature Neuroscience. McMahon is professor of biological sciences and a Vanderbilt Kennedy Center investigator. Biological clocks are responsible for maintaining circadian rhythms, which affect sleep, performance, mood and more. McMahon’s findings offer insight into how to modify constant-light situations to lessen their impact on humans. Findings also may have implications for understanding and treating mood disorders affected by exposure to light. Biological Clocks In mammals, the brain’s circadian pacemaker, or biological clock, forms a 24-hour internal clock for the brain and body that regulates behavior, physiology and mood.

  • Prevention of Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents: a Randomized Trial of Cognitive–Behavioral and Interpersonal Prevention Programs
    Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology Copyright 2007 by the American Psychological Association 2007, Vol. 75, No. 5, 693–706 0022-006X/07/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/0022-006X.75.5.693 Prevention of Depressive Symptoms in Adolescents: A Randomized Trial of Cognitive–Behavioral and Interpersonal Prevention Programs Jason L. Horowitz Judy Garber and Jeffrey A. Ciesla University of Minnesota Vanderbilt University Jami F. Young and Laura Mufson New York State Psychiatric Institute and Columbia University College of Physicians and Surgeons This study evaluated the efficacy of 2 programs for preventing depressive symptoms in adolescents. Participants were 380 high school students randomly assigned to a cognitive–behavioral program (CB), an interpersonal psychotherapy–adolescent skills training program (IPT–AST), or a no-intervention control. The interventions involved eight 90-min weekly sessions run in small groups during wellness classes. At postintervention, students in both the CB and IPT–AST groups reported significantly lower levels of depressive symptoms than did those in the no-intervention group, controlling for baseline depression scores; the 2 intervention groups did not differ significantly from each other. The effect sizes, using Cohen’s d, for the CB intervention and the IPT–AST intervention were 0.37 and 0.26, respectively. Differences between control and intervention groups were largest for adolescents with high levels of depressive symptoms at baseline. For a high-risk subgroup, defined as having scored in the top 25th percentile on the baseline depression measure, the effect sizes for the CB and the IPT–AST interventions were 0.89 and 0.84, respectively. For the whole sample, sociotropy and achievement orientation moderated the effect of the interventions.

    ABSTRACT AHERN, LISA SENATORE. Psychometric Properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form. (Under the direction of Mary Haskett.) Psychometric properties of the Parenting Stress Index – Short Form were investigated using a heterogeneous sample of 185 mothers and fathers of children between the ages of 4- 10 years. The Difficult Child and Parent Distress subscales, as well as Total PSI-SF, were found to be internally consistent. Confirmatory factor analysis did not reveal support for a three-factor model. Results were mixed in terms of support for convergent and discriminant validity. The PSI-SF Total and subscales were related to measures of parent psychopathology and perceptions of child adjustment, but not to observed parent and child behavior. Implications of these findings and suggestions for future research are discussed.

D., Dean Graduate School May 2021 i Abstract The purpose of the present research was to investigate the relationship between ASD severity, as assessed by GARS, and parent stress, as assessed by the PSI and the PSI Parent Domain subscales in particular. Studies suggest that parent stress rises to the severity of a young child’s ASD for reasons related to the challenges of parenting and managing severe autistic behavior compared to moderate or mild levels. The participants were parents seeking Early Intensive Behavior Intervention (EIBI) services from a university-based program between 1996 and 2018. A total of 46 mothers and fathers (23 mothers, 23 fathers) and their respective 23 children participated. The present results suggest that a young child with mild ASD ma enable his parents the luxury of spending less time, effort and worry about managing behavior, leaving more time to spend instead on either their own well-being, and/or learning how to manage their child’s behavior more effectively.
