The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness & Healing in a Toxic Culture
Isn ’t it ironic that Western countries have the most advanced health care systems in the world and yet chronic illness is on the rise and the mental health crisis continues to worsen? What are we doing wrong? In his important book, The Myth of Normal, New York Times bestselling author and family medi cine physician Gabor Maté changes the reader’s paradigm about what we accept as normal. He illuminates why we are failing to keep people healthy despite advances in treatment, due to the negative impact that trauma and the stress of the modern environment exert on our minds and bodies.

Lessons Learned From Magna-Tiles
Have you ever built a spaceship using Magna-Tiles with a 4-year-old child? If not, place this on the top of your to-do list, as there are many lessons hidden within these colorful pieces of plastic. In addition to teaching patience and cooperation, the process of building with a preschooler with big emotions and an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex offers endless opportunities to serve as both a safe haven and secure base. As each tile is carefully (or not-so-carefully) placed, you are building more than just a misshapen spaceship; you are reinforcing a foundation of trust and mutual respect.

Wicked: The Musical
On Thursday, October 26, 2023, with a group of fellow AACAP annual conference goers, we saw the musical Wicked. Wicked is a beautiful and thought-provoking musical, telling the Wizard of Oz story from the perspective of Elphaba, the Wicked Witch of the West. In the musical, Elphaba starts out life at a disadvantage, as she is born with green skin. She is rejected from the beginning, with her father declaring “take it away!” (act 1, scene 1). The story picks up as she starts boarding school, largely to care for her younger sister, Nessa. (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Preadolescent Suicidal Thoughts and Behaviors: An Intensive Longitudinal Study of Risk Factors
This study used intensive longitudinal sampling to assess concurrent associations between risk factors and STB status, how proximal changes in risk factors were related to STB status, and how risk factors prospectively predicted changes in STB status in a preadolescent sample enriched for early childhood psychopathology.

Editorial: A Roadmap for Advancing the Field in Early-Onset Psychosis
The number of umbrella reviews, the systematic reviews of all systematic reviews and meta-analyses in a specified subject, have increased exponentially in recent years. In February 2024, a PubMed search with the term “umbrella review” yielded 840 publications in 2023, compared with 77 in 2013, and 16 in 2003. As the number of scientific publications grows, also does the need to synthesize the current state of knowledge to guide research efforts, clinical practice, and health policies.1,2 (Source: Journal of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry)

Maternal Migration, Prenatal Stress and Child Autistic Traits: Insights From a Population-Based Cohort Study
There is emerging evidence for an increased prevalence of autism in children of mothers with a migration background. To date, the mechanisms underlying this relationship are poorly understood. We investigated whether prenatal stress exposure mediates the association between maternal migration and child autistic traits, assessing 1st and 2nd generation migrant mothers in the Netherlands and their children.

Biopsychosocial Assessments for Pubertal Suppression to Treat Adolescent Gender Dysphoria
Transgender and gender diverse (TGD) adolescents are those whose gender identity is incongruent with societal expectations based on their sex assigned at birth.1 Some TGD adolescents may meet criteria for gender dysphoria, which requires at least six months of psychological distress related to gender incongruence.1 Such adolescents may seek pubertal suppression with a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa).1 GnRHa ’s temporarily and reversibly suppress endogenous puberty, allowing adolescents to engage with care without puberty-related psychological distress.

What Makes Us Who We Are?
As child psychiatrists it is our job to identify factors that influence the behaviors seen in front of us. Often the question is asked, are these factors primarily due to nature or nurture? Is someone born a “bad kid” or are there environmental exposures that lead to less than ideal behaviors. Factors such as racism, poverty, bullying, social isolation, and even where we grow up could play a part in the behaviors seen. This is one of the most rewarding, but at times can be one of the most frustratin g parts of our job as child psychiatrists.
