Yost, Megan R.; Smith, Laura A. – Journal of College Student Development, 2012
Clinicians rigorously study diseases and disorders so that they can formulate the best set of criteria for diagnosis.

Petersen, Jennifer L.; Hyde, Janet S. – Developmental Psychology, 2013
Peer sexual harassment is a pervasive problem in schools and is associated with a variety of negative mental health outcomes.

Pearson, Adria N.; Follette, Victoria M.; Hayes, Steven C. – Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, 2012
Body image dissatisfaction is a source of significant distress among non-eating-disordered women, but because it is subclinical it is generally not treated. It remains stable throughout adulthood, and has proven resistant to many prevention interventions. This study presents a pilot test of a practical alternative: a 1-day Acceptance and…
