In this Papers Podcast, Dr. Tone Hermansen discusses her JCPP Advances paper ‘Child internalizing and externalizing behaviors: Interplay between maternal depressive symptoms and child inhibitory control’ (https://doi.org/10.1002/jcv2.12107).

There is an overview of the paper, methodology, key findings, and implications for practice.

Discussion points include:

  • How low levels of inhibitory control present in children.
  • Why children with lower levels of inhibitory control are particularly vulnerable to negative environmental influences.
  • Are children with higher levels of inhibitory control more likely to internalise rather than externalise problems?
  • How the findings may be translated into practice, in terms of the development of treatment options and interventions.
In this series, we speak to authors of papers published in one of ACAMH’s three journals. These are The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (JCPP); The Child and Adolescent Mental Health (CAMH) journal; and JCPP Advances.
