Abuse History is related to Autonomic Regulation to Mild Exercise and Psychological Wellbeing
We investigated the potential impact of abuse history on autonomic regulation and psychological wellbeing in a sample of women who reported a history of abuse without Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. To measure autonomic regulation, heart rate data was collected before and after the participant rode a stationary bike for one mile. We found that abuse history was associated with less vagal regulation of the heart (i.e., respiratory sinus arrhythmia) and an inability to rapidly re-engage vagal regulation immediately following mild exercise to support a calm physiological state. These findings are consistent with clinical impressions that abused individuals may have a lower threshold to express fight/flight behaviors in response to stress and have difficulty shifting from mobilization to calmness. We also found that abuse history was related to psychological wellbeing. Women with an abuse history reported a greater use of dysfunctional coping methods and lower self-concept. Further, analyses indicated that there was a cumulative effect, whereby women who reported more recent abuse reported using more dysfunctional coping methods, having more mood disturbance, and lower self-concept. The findings underscore the importance of evaluating both the psychological and physiological effects of trauma, even in the absence of a diagnosis of PTSD.

Borderline personality disorder in youth: The prospective impact of child abuse on non-suicidal self-injury and suicidality
Borderline personality disorder (BPD) is characterized by greater engagement in non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) and suicidality. The aim of the study is to test whether the occurrence of child abuse contributes to these high-risk behaviors in BPD youth.
BPD female youth aged 13–21years with (n=29) and without (n=29) a history of child abuse were administered clinical interviews assessing diagnostic history, child abuse, NSSI and suicidality (i.e., ideation, plans, and attempts). NSSI and suicidality were subsequently reevaluated at the 1- and 2-month follow-up assessments.
Several findings emerged. First, relative to BPD youth without abuse, the abuse group reported greater past NSSI; however, no significant differences emerged in the follow-up period. Second, the occurrence of child abuse was associated with a 5-fold increase in the rate of lifetime suicide attempts relative to the no abuse group and additionally, prospectively predicted suicide ideation (but not attempts). Last, exploratory analyses indicated that the co-occurrence of physical and sexual abuse was associated with greater past NSSI and suicidality as compared to the no abuse and sexual abuse only participants.
As a whole, child abuse – particularly co-occurring physical and sexual abuse – increases risk for NSSI and suicidality among BPD youth, which may have important treatment implications in this high-risk population.

The emotional and behavioral effects of hatha yoga used as an adjunct to traditional mental health treatment for adolesecents with a range of psychiatric disorders
There is little understanding of the therapeutic impact and potential utility of using yoga as part of mental health treatment with adolescents. The present study represents the first known study investigating the use of yoga as an adjunct treatment with adolescents of varying psychiatric diagnosis in a clinical school setting. This study provides evidence that a relatively brief yoga intervention (M=11 classes) leads to decreased hyperactivity for adolescent boys. Moreover, the study suggests that yoga leads to a number of psychological benefits for boys and girls such as improved frustration tolerance, focus, self-acceptance and awareness and increased patience, tolerance, and acceptance of others. This study provides a foundation and strong evidence for further research on the use of yoga as an adjunct treatment for adolescents with relatively acute psychiatric issues.
