Emerging adulthood is a period of significant exploration, transformation, variability, and growth. Simultaneously, this developmental period presents unique challenges as emerging adults work to achieve developmental milestones including self-identity formation, the establishment of long-term intimate relationships, career advancement, and independence from parents. For those who are vulnerable, this period is also marked by the development of significant mental health problems and associated impairment, which prevents individuals from successfully reaching these developmental milestones. To address the various challenges unique to this developmental period, we created and implemented a multifaceted DBT treatment protocol to specifically address emotional dysregulation within emerging adults. The current study presents an evaluation of a novel, intensive, outpatient DBT program called System for Adult Growth and Emergence-Foundations (SAGE-F). We aim to first introduce the SAGE-F treatment protocol, and then to assess both its short and long-term therapeutic value. Participants enrolled in SAGE-F were administered a testing battery assessing symptom severity, functioning capacities, and coping strategies at intake, upon completion of the program 6-weeks later, and at 3-month follow-up. It was found participants who completed SAGE-F reported significant reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms, as well as non-suicidal self-injurious behaviors. Simultaneously, participants also reported improvements in their daily functioning and coping capacities. Follow-up assessments indicated therapeutic progress remained.

Alternative platform offerings for psychotherapy have become a necessity in the age of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The current study describes the virtual adaptation of Metacognitive Reflection and Insight Therapy (MERIT) for people with psychosis. MERIT is a recovery-oriented psychotherapy that has shown promise in increasing metacognition and allowing individuals to make meaning of their psychiatric challenges and direct their own recovery efforts. MERIT delivery requires the assumption that metacognitive reflection is an intersubjective act where individuals make meaning with others instead of in isolation. As such, considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, research is needed to understand how intersubjectivity and the therapeutic alliance may differ in a virtual environment rather than in-person. The present study addresses this question by illustrating two case examples of MERIT's adaptation to a virtual delivery telehealth format. Moreover, this study expands on Lysaker and colleagues' (2020) investigation of virtual adaptations of MERIT by exploring how MERIT is adapted in a virtual environment, how intersubjectivity changes in a virtual environment, and, what opportunities virtual platforms allow for metacognitive reflection. Overall, we found that MERIT can be successfully delivered in a virtual telehealth platform. We discuss opportunities and considerations for MERIT and other psychotherapy virtual delivery.

Adolescents frequently use social media to connect with peers, develop friendships, and explore their identity. However, some adolescents, particularly those with co-occurring mental health concerns or other vulnerabilities, may experience problems or dysfunction related to their social media use. Navigating online social interactions, regulating one's own use of social media, and being aware of how content of social media may impact users are important skills that youth need to build in today's digital age. The purpose of this paper is to describe the rationale for, and components of, a group therapy intervention (Developing Healthy Social Media Practices) for caregivers and their adolescents that seeks to (a) provide psychoeducation about the risks and benefits of social media use; (b) teach youth and their caregivers online social problem solving skills; (c) facilitate caregiver-adolescent communication about online social interactions and other online risks; and (d) promote motivation to change social media practices that youth and their caregivers identify as impacting functioning.
