Cognitive remediation therapy for adolescent inpatients with severe and complex anorexia nervosa: A treatment trial.

Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) is a low-intensity treatment adjunct for individuals with severe and complex anorexia nervosa (AN) with difficulties in globally oriented, flexible thinking. Previously trialled in adults, this study investigated whether individual and group CRT was a feasible, acceptable, and beneficial treatment for 125 adolescent inpatients with severe and complex AN. Seventy patients (mean age = 15.

Positioning, telling, and performing a male illness: Chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome.

Objectives: There is a paucity of illness accounts of men with chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CP/CPPS), despite a significant level of prevalence and burden of disease. This qualitative study thus elicited twelve accounts from men suffering with CP/CPPS.

Methods: Narrative analysis was employed, focusing primarily on narrative content.

The composite face effect in chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta).

The accurate recognition of individuals is a cornerstone of social exchange in primates. Current approaches to the study of individual recognition, however, are focused on human performance and only occasionally reference comparative research for support. A number of studies have suggested that humans can easily recognize thousands of individual faces and that this perceptual expertise is supported by holistic processing, a phenomenon best demonstrated by the composite face effect (CFE).
