Relation between increasing attachment security and weight gain: a clinical study of adolescents and their parents at an outpatient ward.

Purpose: We wanted to evaluate the impact of a relational focus in the treatment of adolescent ED-patients and their parents at an intensive outpatient ward, based on attachment theory, combined with a family approach and psychodynamic principles. Our aim was to investigate the distribution of different attachment styles among the adolescent ED-patients and their parents, and to find out if they could change by the treatment.

Methods: Swedish adolescents (n = 33; 3 boys, 30 girls) and their parents (n = 60; 34 mothers, 26 fathers) participated.

Art therapy and self-image: A 5-year follow-up art therapy RCT study of women diagnosed with breast cancer.

Objective: This follow-up study on perceived self-image and psychophysical distress/psychic symptoms was based on a ranomized contolled study of art therapy on women with breast cancer.

Method: The aim was to examine the long-term effects of time-limited art therapy using the instruments of (SASB) and (SCL-90).

Results: Three attachment clusters of the SASB showed significant changes post therapy: (cluster 1), (cluster 2), and (cluster 3).

Risk factors for subarachnoid haemorrhage: a nationwide cohort of 950 000 adults.

Adolescent patients with eating disorders and their parents: a study of self-image and outcome at an intensive outpatient program.

Purpose: The main aim of this clinical study was to explore how adolescent patients with eating disorders and their parents report their perceived self-image, using Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (SASB), before and after treatment at an intensive outpatient program. Another aim was to relate the self-image of the young patients to the outcome measures body mass index (BMI) and Children's Global Assessment Scale (C-GAS) score.

Methods: A total of 93 individuals (32 adolescents, 34 mothers, and 27 fathers) completed the SASB self-report questionnaire before and after family-based treatment combined with an individual approach at a child and youth psychiatry day care unit.
