"You Measure Us and You Depress Us": Healthism and the Subjective Impact of Body Measurements on Secondary School Students.

This study explores adolescents' subjective experiences when facing body measurements at school, performed to evaluate the effects of a school-based intervention to promote physical activity. Three semi-structured interviews ( = 3) and two focus groups ( = 7 and 3) were conducted with adolescents after measuring some variables related to their weight and adiposity. Observational data ( = 88) collected by the two researchers in charge of the measurements were also obtained.

[Effectiveness of an integrated treatment for severe personality disorders. A 36-month pragmatic follow-up].

Introduction: Over the past 25 years, several studies have shown the efficacy of a number of psychological interventions for severe personality disorders. However, the generalizability of these positive results from long traditional research settings to more ordinary ones has been questioned, requiring a need for replication in pragmatic studies.

Methods: This pragmatic study compares hospitalizations and Emergency Room visits before and during a 6-month therapeutic program for severe personality disorders, and at 36 months after starting it.
