Presidential Address: Emotion Dysregulation in Children and Adolescents

Presidential Address: Emotion Dysregulation in Children and Adolescents: I am both excited and proud to become president of our Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry for the next 2 years. In addition to working with an incredible organization, I have had the privilege and pleasure of serving and collaborating with our immediate past presidents including Drs. Drell, Joshi, Fritz, and Wagner. In thinking about how I wanted to focus my energy and some of AACAP’s resources over the next couple of years, I’ve looked at the breadth of past initiatives. These have included prioritization within the organization and the field (Back to Project Future1), expanding our relationships with other countries and cultures (Partnering for the World’s Children2), highlighting the importance of our relationship with primary care (Integrated Care for Kids3), and focus on prevention (Depression Awareness and Screening in Children and Adolescents4).
