Editorial: Transdiagnostic approaches to child and adolescent mental health-Integrating development, dimensions, and mechanisms.

Co-occurrence of child and adolescent neurodevelopmental and mental health conditions is the rule rather than the exception, yet translating this insight into shared frameworks and clinical practice remains challenging. In this Editorial, we are pleased to introduce the 26 papers included in the 2026 Special Issue of JCPP Advances. This Special Issue aimed to advance our understanding of transdiagnostic mechanisms, dimensions, and practices in child and adolescent mental health, and includes original articles, reviews, commentaries, and an editorial perspective. Collectively, these articles illustrate three main 'transdiagnostic' conceptualisations; (i) mechanistic approaches identifying shared biological, cognitive, or affective processes across diagnostic boundaries; (ii) dimensional approaches mapping symptom covariance onto hierarchical structures such as the general 'p' factor and internalising, externalising, and neurodevelopmental spectra; and (iii) developmental, clinical-staging approaches treating early, non-specific features as precursors to a broad range of later outcomes. Methodologically, the current Special Issue highlights both the opportunities and limitations of large existing datasets, multi-informant assessment, and neuroimaging and genomic approaches, while underscoring the persistent difficulty of modelling transdiagnostic dimensions developmentally. Importantly, while translation into routine clinical care remains limited, the field is now well positioned to test the clinical utility and effectiveness of transdiagnostic dimensional assessments and interventions in routine care.

Editorial practices of psychiatric and related journals: implications for women.

The author reports on the responses of 37 psychiatric and related professional journals to a questionnaire on procedures for selection of articles and of editors and/or editorial boards, with a focus on possible sexism in these practices. Results indicated little active effort to increase representation of women on editorial boards or in the authorship of journals, although existing practices were not necessarily discriminatory per se. The author hopes that this report will encourage more women to submit articles for publication and to seek active participation in the journals in their field.

Editorial Commentary: Stiff Patients After Rotator Cuff Repair: How Many Had Underrecognized Preoperative Adhesive Capsulitis?

Stiffness after rotator cuff repair is one of the most common sources of disability and one of the most common complications. Smoking, diabetes, Workers' compensation status, and traumatic tears are among the strongest risk factors. This is important information in setting appropriate expectations for both the patient and the surgeon preoperatively. Some of these factors are also associated with preoperative stiffness, so surgeons should maintain a high index of suspicion for concomitant adhesive capsulitis in patients presenting with limited motion, particularly in diabetic and non-English speaking populations. In cases where both a rotator cuff tear and adhesive capsulitis coexist, performing a concurrent capsular release or manipulation during the index procedure may improve functional outcomes and reduce the necessity for secondary surgical intervention.

Editorial: The right to know. On the freedom of medical information.

Information about health and disease has high social value and is, thus, subject to a variety of controls. These influence the freedom of investigators to generate it; of editors and publishers to transmit it; and of professionals and the public to have access to it. Unconstrained research may threaten the social order and evoke legal or political limit setting. Prominent in the present era are the possibilities of dangerous ethical and biological consequences of new knowledge or, perhaps more important, of procedures for obtaining it. Medical information is transmitted through both the mass media and professional journals. Access to both by potential authors is limited by institutionalized mechanisms of social control and the academic-research subculture. An emerging factor is the editor's possible ethical responsibility for material which he accepts for publication. Access to information is determined by what finally is published, as well as membership in informal communication networks. It is also influenced by dependence, due to cost, time limitation and information overload, on prepackaged material presented in texts, anthologies, busy clinician-oriented journals, or commercial, e.g., pharmaceutical firms. The possibility that governments will, in time, become the major distributors as well as generators of medical information raises new questions as to its eventual freedom and control.
