Gate, Michael A.; Watkins, Edward R.; Simmons, Julian G.; Byrne, Michelle L.; Schwartz, Orli S.; Whittle, Sarah; Sheeber, Lisa B.; Allen, Nicholas B. – Journal of Clinical Child and Adolescent Psychology, 2013

This study examined the hypothesis that an adverse family environment is a risk factor for…
