“…Yet, the specific symptoms or syndromes that act as underlying mechanisms have not been clearly identified. Common psychopathological symptoms resulting from CM include PTSD, internalizing symptoms, dissociative disorders or symptoms, and alexithymia (the inability to identify and describe emotions) (Kefeli et al, 2018 ; Reis et al, 2024 ; Shenk et al, 2022 ). The high prevalence and comorbidity of these symptoms make it essential to determine their functional role in the development of self-harm.…”

Background: Although childhood maltreatment is associated with later self-harm, the mechanism through which it might lead to self-harm is not completely understood. The purpose of this study was to examine the roles of alexithymia, dissociation, internalizing and posttraumatic symptoms in the association between exposure to childhood maltreatment and subsequent self-harm. Methods: A total of 360 adolescents were asked to complete the Childhood Trauma Questionnaire, the Toronto Alexithymia Scale, the Dissociative Experience Scale, the Somatoform Dissociation Questionnaire-20, the Posttraumatic Stress Checklist for DSM-5, and the Deliberate Self-Harm Inventory. Results: Results of structural equation modelling analysis revealed the significant mediation effects of alexithymia and dissociative symptoms in the relationship between childhood maltreatment and self-harm, while internalizing and posttraumatic symptoms did not significantly mediate. Conclusion: The findings indicate that alexithymia and dissociative symptoms may be proximal mechanisms linking maltreatment exposure and adolescence self-harm.

Background: The transdiagnostic and network model approaches to psychopathology have emerged as an alternative to taxonomic systems. The main goal was to examine the network structure of the transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders in adolescents with subclinical emotional symptoms. In addition, cross-sectional network analyses were conducted to investigate the relationships between transdiagnostic dimensions and socio-emotional adjustment. Method: The sample consisted of a total of 476 adolescents from 85 schools from different provinces in Spain with subthreshold anxiety and depression. The mean age was 13.77 years (SD = 1.43, range 10 to 18 years), 73.9% were female. Several questionnaires assessing transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders, mental health difficulties, self-esteem, perceived social support, feeling of belonging at school, and prosocial behavior were used. Results: A strong interrelation was found between the transdiagnostic variables, except with the positive temperament dimension. The dimensions with the greatest weight were those of traumatic reexperiencing, intrusive cognitions, avoidance, neuroticism, and depressed mood. Negative relationships were found between the transdiagnostic variables and the protective factors included in the study. Stability analyses indicated that the networks where accurately estimated. Conclusion: The present paper points to the value of conceptualizing emotional disorders from a transdiagnostic and network model perspective. In addition, the work provides new insights into the nature of the relationships between transdiagnostic dimensions of emotional disorders, and the role played by risk and protective factors.

Introdução: A adolescência é marcada por mudanças cognitivas, emocionais e comportamentais significativas. Estudos apontam um aumento na prevalência do Transtorno da Personalidade Borderline (TPB) em adolescentes, com manifestações clínicas relevantes. O diagnóstico precoce é essencial para reduzir o risco de outros transtornos psiquiátricos. Objetivo: Este estudo buscou examinar a frequência de sintomas de TPB em adolescentes e investigar associações com variáveis sociodemográficas e clínicas em escolas públicas da região centro-sul da Bahia. Métodos: Estudo quantitativo, descritivo e transversal com 183 adolescentes. Foram aplicados questionários sociodemográficos e clínicos, utilizando a Borderline Symptom List - 23 (BSL-23). A análise estatística incluiu testes qui-quadrado e ANOVA. Resultados: A prevalência de sintomas do TPB foi de 28,9%, maior no sexo feminino (37,45%). Comportamentos autolesivos e suicidas foram relatados por 23,5% 16,9% respectivamente. A intensidade e frequencia dos sintomas foi estatisticamente maior no sexo feminino (p < 0.05) Conclusão: Os resultados destacam a necessidade de políticas de saúde mental focadas em adolescentes com sintomas de TPB, especialmente entre meninas. A detecção precoce e intervenções preventivas são cruciais para fornecer suporte psicológico adequado.
