Behavior therapy is considered probably efficacious for childhood depression, and a number of other experimental interventions show promise but require further evaluation.12 Currently, only 2 research groups have focused on psychosocial interventions for childhood bipolar disorder.13 - 15 Hence,
increased attention to creation and testing of treatments specifically targeting depression and bipolar disorder in children is needed.16 In particular, studies should focus on children's developmental needs, address comorbidity, involve family members in treatment, demonstrate treatment gains as rated by parents and clinicians rather than children themselves, and compare experimental interventions with standard care or treatment as usual (TAU) rather than no - treatment or attention control groups.12, 17,18 In addition,
parental psychopathology may affect treatment adherence and response.
Specifically, a lack of a warm positive relationship with parents; insecure attachment; harsh, inflexible or inconsistent discipline practices; inadequate supervision of and involvement with children; marital conflict and breakdown; and
parental psychopathology (particularly maternal depression)
increase the risk that children will develop major behavioural and emotional problems, including depression and conduct problems.
That is, suicidal thinking itself
increases risk for future thoughts of suicide, beyond the influence of potent risk factors (depressive symptoms, substance use,
parental psychopathology).
Parental behaviours related to disorganized / controlling attachment strategiesAn increased incidence of infant disorganization is observed in the context of parental psychopathology, but not in the context of infant illness or physical disability.8, 9 A meta - analysis has also confirmed that parental lapses of reasoning or discourse style during loss or trauma - related portions of the Adult Attachment Interview (termed an Unresolved State of mind) are associated with infant disorganization, r =.31.10 However, the mechanisms underlying this association remain to be esta

Although historically most studies on this topic focused on clinical samples (families in which a parent is diagnosed with a psychological disorder), there is
increasing evidence that
parental psychopathology symptoms at a subclinical level can also have detrimental effects on children's social - emotional development (Connell and Goodman 2002).
This is surprising given the
increased rates of mental disorders including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse in the parents of anxious children [22, 23], and evidence that
parental psychopathology places children at
increased risk for parent behaviour - related stressors, such as interparental conflict [24].
