This article presents 3 clinical vignettes illustrating common challenges: 1) inconsistent treatment implementation across households; 2) perceived physician alignment during treatment disagreements; and 3) breakdowns in communication following unilateral clinical decisions. 3/7

In these settings, clinical decision-making must extend beyond diagnosis and pharmacological management to account for legal custody structures and divergent caregiver perspectives. 2/7

This suggests the rACC may be a treatment target for internationalizing symptoms, but sex and social context may be important factors to consider.

Results showed that rACC activation to faces relates to internalizing symptoms, with this relation being modulated by negative peer environments and sex.

Overall, positive changes in externalizing problems were found, and the studies that used observational methods to depict externalizing behaviors reported more changes than studies that used questionnaire methods. Results suggest the quality of single-case studies can be improved.
