New alexithymia work @JADJournal:
Alexithymia and poor emotion regulation—especially less cognitive reappraisal—are linked to non-suicidal self-injury.
Emotional awareness matters.

New alexithymia work @PLOSONE: Already preschool children's psychopathology is linked to their own and their parents’ ability to understand and express emotions.

Early emotional skills matter—for kids and parents.

This week was my very first time at the ISRA Congress of the @ISRASociety. I really enjoyed it! Great talks and I learned a lot. Definitely considering to attend next time 😊

[Dr. Irina Jarvers @IrinaJarvers]

First real Alexithymia paper from our group is out! It's a meta-analysis examining the relationship between child abuse, Alexithymia and psychopathology while focusing on three specific measures to reduce heterogeneity 💪🏽https://t.co/GzeWITubrX

Pretty important research to do! Gets closer at what's actually going on within the youths themselves.

How autistics (age 8-13) report their own social motivation, vs how this is reported by their caregivers https://t.co/YmNrPvJ4eN "motivation with peers was a point of particular discrepancy between autistic youth & caregivers, with no observable association between their reports"

Ever wondered what might have contributed to an increase in adolescent anorexia nervosa cases during the COVID-19 pandemic? We just released a paper on that:
https://t.co/PAS5tHCCeS (1/5)

[Dr. Irina Jarvers @IrinaJarvers]

Interestingly, both groups reported an increase loss of environmental control due to school closures, cancelled hobbies etc. But only adolescent girls with anorexia nervosa reported loss of personal control - which was compensated by eating restrictions (5/5)

It's time for a paper revision and therefore a good day 👍🏼

[Dr. Irina Jarvers @IrinaJarvers]

Amazing review! Wish I knew about it several months prior

[Danielle Roubinov, PhD @DRoubinov]

"A cardinal feature of the existing paradigm in mental health has been its emphasis on fully established disorders in adulthood while early intervention and prevention have been relatively neglected."

The next book I wanted to read ended up being the second novel of a trilogy, so... I had to pick something with less entertainment value, but more content. Pretty nice overview! #adolescentdevelopment #Science

This is amazing for everybody who feels lazy or like an imposter attempting to get their PhD. Puts the demands into perspective. I managed to win in this simulator, but it really took a while.

This PhD simulator is anxiety-inducing but i cant stop rolling the dice https://t.co/6O6KX2KKKU
