The role of pride in women with anorexia nervosa: A grounded theory study.

Objective: Theory and clinical literature suggest that pride may play an important role in the maintenance of restrictive eating disorders. A grounded theory study explored experiences of, and reflections on, pride among women with a current or past diagnosis of anorexia nervosa.

Design: This is a qualitative study using grounded theory.

Development and Validation of the Pride in Eating Pathology Scale (PEP-S).

Unlabelled: There is a growing body of theoretical and clinical literature highlighting the role of pride in maintaining eating disordered behaviours. Despite its clinical importance, there are no measures to assess feelings of pride associated with eating psychopathology. This study describes the development and validation of the Pride in Eating Pathology Scale (PEP-S), a self-report questionnaire that examines feelings of pride towards eating disordered symptoms (e.

Assessing the specificity of autobiographical memory in individuals at a trait-based vulnerability to bipolar disorder using a sentence completion task.

Overgeneral autobiographical memory recall has been associated with the diagnosis of bipolar disorder, but the role of overgenerality in the vulnerability to bipolar disorder remains under-researched. While a previous study suggested that high-risk individuals for bipolar disorder recall emotionally negative memories in specific detail, this is in contrast to memory recall patterns noted in bipolar samples. The Autobiographical Memory Test (AMT) used in previous non-clinical studies has also been criticised for not being sensitive to overgenerality due to its repetition of specificity instructions and practice trials.

Implementing family intervention within forensic services: the perspectives of clinical staff.

Background: Few studies have investigated the perspectives of staff on the implementation of family intervention in forensic services. This may be crucial to overcome the barriers to successful implementation of this therapy.

Aims: To investigate the perspectives and experiences of forensic staff in implementing family interventions in forensic settings.

Trait reappraisal amplifies subjective defeat, sadness, and negative affect in response to failure versus success in nonclinical and psychosis populations.

Perceptions of defeat have been linked to a range of clinical disorders including psychosis. Perceived defeat sometimes increases in response to failure, but the strength of this association varies between individuals. The present research investigated whether trait reappraisal, a thought-focused coping style, amplified response to stressful events.
