Summary
Among the vulnerable populations in our society, transgender individuals often have among the poorest outcomes, with high rates of suicide, mental health concerns, substance abuse, relational issues and victimizations. A key moderator of these outcomes is family acceptance and support. Unfortunately, many transgender individuals, particularly those in conservative Christian religions, do not receive the acceptance and support that could make such a difference. Using interviews with parents affiliated with a conservative Christian religion who have transgender children, this grounded-theory study was conducted to understand the factors that affect parents' responses to a transgender child. The model and theory that emerged provides a framework for understanding parents' processes in adapting to and determining their level of acceptance and support of their transgender child.

Summary
Despite decades of research on parental discipline, parent-implemented psychotherapies for children’s conduct problems are half as effective as 50 years ago, according to a recent meta-analysis. To diagnose the problem, this paper identifies five methodological fallacies that are pervasive in most parental discipline research: the correlational, trumping, lumping, extrapolation, and myopia fallacies. Together these fallacies make disciplinary consequences look more harmful than they actually are. This explains why parental discipline research is dominated by evidence against non-preferred disciplinary tactics using methods that cannot identify effective alternative tactics to replace them in similar disciplinary contexts.
