This study investigates the Intensive In-home Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Service (IICAPS), a large-scale home-based intervention that collaboratively engages the family, school, and various other service providers (e.g. health practitioners or judicial systems) to prevent the hospitalization, institutionalization or out-of-home placement of children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance. Multi-informant data (youth, parents and clinician) on the level of youth problem severity and functioning was gathered from 7169 youth and their families served by the IICAPS network, pre- and post-intervention. A newly developed "Multi-informant Latent Consensus" (MILC) approach was employed to measure mental health "baseline levels" and change, within a Structural Equation Modeling framework. The MILC approach demonstrated promise integrating information from multiple informants involved in the therapeutic process to yield a more accurate and systemic view of a child's level of functioning and problem severity than each report taken individually. Results indicated that the IICAPS family and community based intervention model led to a reduction of problem severity and improved functioning in children and adolescents with severe emotional disturbance.

This article provides an introduction to the idiographic approach ("N = 1" research) in developmental psychology and an overview of methodological and statistical techniques employed to address the study of within-individual variability in development. Through a popularization of the idiographic approach and associated statistical techniques, but also through technical advances in the apparatus used to produce single-case intensive longitudinal data, the "power" of "N = 1" is becoming increasingly tangible and may challenge, or supplement, established paradigms in nomothetic (group-level) developmental psychology. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

This study examines longitudinally the bidirectional influences between maternal parenting
(behaviors and parenting stress) and mothers’ perceptions of their children’s adjustment, in a
multivariate approach. Data was gathered from 361 low-income mothers (many with psychiatric
diagnoses) reporting on their parenting behavior, parenting stress, and their child’s adjustment,
in a 2-wave longitudinal study over 5 years. Measurement models were developed to derive 4
broad parenting constructs (involvement, control, rejection, and stress) and 3 child adjustment
constructs (internalizing problems, externalizing problems, and social competence). After measurement
invariance of these constructs was confirmed across relevant groups and over time,
both measurement models were integrated in a single crossed-lagged regression analysis of latent
constructs. Multiple reciprocal influences were observed between parenting and perceived child
adjustment over time: Externalizing and internalizing problems in children were predicted by
baseline maternal parenting behaviors, and child social competence was found to reduce parental
stress and increase parental involvement and appropriate monitoring. These findings on the
motherhood experience are discussed in light of recent research efforts to understand mother–
child bidirectional influences and their potential for practical applications.

This chapter explores the current state of knowledge on the genetic etiology of creativity (e.g., the genetic bases of the individual differences in creative ability). To extend this perspective, we review the socio-cultural aspects of creativity and present how these aspects have been interpreted from an evolutionary perspective. This includes examinations of the genetic forces that shape populations and their cultures, the cultural environment that receives the creative product and determines its usefulness and value, and some possible interactive effects that may contribute both to creativity as an individual ability and to the reception and adoption of novelty as a social process. We conclude by underlining the importance of studying creativity not only as an individual, objective “ability,” but also as a cultural, time-specific, biologically-grounded phenomenon with a social purpose.
