Deficits in emotion knowledge can impact children's social-emotional interactions, which are particularly evident in children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). However, consistent evidence regarding emotion knowledge and its individual components across ASD subtypes, as defined by ICD-10, remained limited. This study investigates emotion knowledge development - both as a whole and in seven specific components - in children with ASD, categorized by subtype, and compares them with a matched group of children without ASD using nearest neighbor matching based on gender, age, and language background. The sample includes 79 children with ASD (68 boys, 11 girls; ages 5-10): Childhood Autism (n = 33), Atypical Autism (n = 15), and Asperger's Syndrome (n = 31). Participants completed the Adaptive Test of Emotion Knowledge for Three- to Nine-year-olds (ATEM 3-9). A control group of 152 children without ASD was drawn from the ATEM 3-9 norming sample. Results reveal significant differences in emotion knowledge development across ASD subtypes. Children with Childhood Autism scored significantly lower than children without ASD, whereas children with Asperger's Syndrome or Atypical Autism showed no significant differences compared to the control group. These findings suggest that emotion knowledge deficits in ASD are subtype specific. Future research should account for these distinctions when examining emotional development in children with ASD.

Subjective Experiences of First-Time Fathers: A Systematic Overview Considering Psychoanalytic Perspectives The paper presents a systematic literature review that evaluates international qualitative studies (n = 20) from the last decade on the subjective experience of first-time fatherhood. Through thematic analysis, seven thematic clusters were identified: ambivalent feelings in the transition to fatherhood, changing paternal identity and self-image, social pressure and role expectations, emotional self-regulation and coping, gaps in care and information, attachment to the child, and relationship with the partner. Finally, the findings are interwoven with psychoanalytic considerations in order to situate and understand the findings more comprehensively in the dynamic field of psycho- and sociodynamics.

Short-term Effects of a School-based Health Promotion Program on Coping and Self-efficacy in Sixth Graders. A Pilot Study This study aimed to provide initial evidence on the short-term effectiveness of a school-based universal health promotion program for adolescents, focusing on coping and self-efficacy. Forty sixth graders (M = 11,83, SD = 0,59 years; 43 % female) participated in the study to determine if these personal protective factors changed in the intervention group (IG) compared to an untreated control group. A supplementary qualitative interview (n = 2) offered deeper insights into the changes within the IG. The results indicated improvements in emotion regulation, positive self-instructions, and social support seeking during stressful social situations. However, for the first time, a negative effect occurred, i.e., in rumination. Self-efficacy also improved in the short term. The interviews supported successful application of emotion regulation strategies, effective time management techniques, and increased self-efficacy. It is recommended to expand the program by including problem-solving strategies, gender-specific elements, and a more intensive focus on reflecting on maladaptive coping. Overall, the preliminary findings suggest that the new school-based program is a promising universal prevention approach that may improve the key personal protective factors of "coping" and "selfefficacy" among sixth graders. This may contribute to strengthening essential protective factors for adolescent mental health during a critical developmental stage.

Radicalization of Youth Through Online Propaganda - An Overview of the Current State of Research from Three Professional Perspective. Young people spend a lot of time on social media and are confronted with fake news and propaganda from extremist groups. Extremist groups operate on the platforms that young people use and target their needs. Radicalization processes are increasingly taking place exclusively online. The article is designed as a narrative review and provides an overview of the current state of research on (online) radicalization among adolescents. It addresses the developmental psychological background to radicalization and looks at how young people are exposed to extremist content and the technological mechanisms behind it. A multi-layered approach to prevention is recommended, which considers aspects of communication, information and education to strengthen media literacy and addresses the responsibility of platform operators. It also points out the possibilities of counseling in this area.

Psychotherapeutic Counseling in Disengagement and Deradicalization - Case-Related Insights Into the Work of Nexus. This article presents the work of nexus, a psychotherapeutic and psychiatric counseling team, specializing in the areas of Islamist and right-wing extremism. Founded in Berlin in 2018, nexus has been cooperating nationwide with specialized counseling services and deradicalization programs since 2023. In this article, case reports are used to highlight the crucial intersection of youth welfare, extremism prevention and mental health. Considerations are discussed as to how psychotherapists and related professionals can contribute to such complex case constellations in order to enhance the prospects of successful distancing and exit processes.

Victims of Violent Extremism - Psychological Consequences and Treatment Options. Violent extremism is directed against societies and institutions and aims to destabilise such structures and trigger uncertainty. The expressive effect of these acts therefore also arises from the public's evaluation of them. The specific nature of the violent act also has implications for those children and adolescents directly and indirectly affected by violent extremism. Within the framework of a narrative review, the specific aspects resulting from this for the treatment of trauma related disorders in children, adolescents and their relatives are presented.
