Objective: This study explored parents' experiences of the transition of responsibility to their child for healthcare decisions relating to their cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P).
Methods: Online semi-structured interviews were conducted with 11 participants (six females and five males, aged 41 to 60 years). They were parents of young people who had decided whether to undergo orthognathic surgery.
Background: It is likely that disrupted early parent-child relationships, eating disorder related cognitions and negative self-beliefs are relevant to some women who are overweight/obese.
Aims: This study tested the hypotheses that disrupted parent-child relationships would be linked to higher body mass index (BMI) and that this relationship would then be mediated by cognition.
Method: A group of women were recruited from the community and completed measures of eating disorder (ED) thoughts, negative self-beliefs, and parental bonding.
Objective: Little is known about a potential cognitive model for binge eating, although cognitive behavioural techniques have been proposed as appropriate models of intervention. This study initiated the development of a cognitive model by applying an established cognitive model for bulimia nervosa.
Method: A community sample of women was recruited via the internet and participants completed measures of eating disorder thoughts, negative self-beliefs, attachment, mood and binge eating severity.
Reasoning biases have been suggested as having a role in the formation and maintenance of delusions, in particular when the content is personal or social. The present study investigated whether biases when making logical inferences about neutral and personally relevant statements may be seen in individuals hypothetically prone to psychosis. Sixty-one participants completed a multi-dimensional measure of psychosis-proneness (Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences) and a conditional inference task.
