The Incubator Treatment Development Model: The SAFETY Treatment for Suicidal/Self-Harming Youth
2022, Cognitive and Behavioral PracticeStressful life events and adolescent suicidality: An investigation of the mediating mechanisms
2020, Journal of AdolescenceCitation Excerpt :Although this model provided insights on how stressful life events can interact with preexisting conditions to lead suicidal behavior, it doesn't inform much about the mediating mechanisms in the process. This gap is consistent with the current need in suicide literature to move beyond determining what factors confer risk for suicide, and toward understanding how they exert their deleterious effects (Brent, 2011; Nock, 2012). Such an endeavor would potentially lead to greater clarity in targets for intervention strategies.
The psychological scars of suicide: Accounting for how risk for suicidal behavior is heightened by its past occurrence
2019, Neuroscience and Biobehavioral ReviewsCitation Excerpt :What processes account for the homotypic continuity often observed with this behavior and the increased risk associated with each successive attempt? Addressing this question is of theoretical and clinical importance, especially given the stated need for research in this field to advance beyond identifying potential risk factors to uncovering the mechanisms through which they may exert their deleterious effect (Brent, 2011; Nock, 2009). Several possibilities exist that may account for this association between past and future suicidal behavior.

In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Journal presents a year-long series of editorials that discuss and reflect on pivotal research published in these pages over the previous five decades. The editorials show how the foundations of the science in child and adolescent psychiatry have been laid, describe how they influence us today, and suggest how they will continue to guide us over the next 50 years and on.
