“…The Adult Form of the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (SEI; Coopersmith, 1981; Cowan, Altman, & Psyh, 1978) is an adaptation of the 25-item School Short Form for individuals over 15 years of age. According to Peterson in the Mental Measurements Yearbook (1985), the SEI measures are widely used, reliable, stable, and have construct validity.…”

Sixty-seven volunteers were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: six weeks of dream interpretation and monitoring in an individual counseling setting, six weeks of dream monitoring, and wait list control. Although clients and therapists were all satisfied and clients indicated gaining greater self-understanding in the dream interpretation condition, dream interpretation was not found to be significantly better than the other two conditions in promoting changes in self-esteem or symptomatology. Further, psychological mindedness and the verbalizer-visualizer dimension did not predict post-session scores on symptomatology and self-esteem for the dream interpretation condition. Methodological problems that may have influenced the results are discussed and suggestions made for future research.

“…Indeed, lowered self-esteem has been suggested to be the final common pathway leading to eating disorders [13,14]. Studies have shown that with increasing anxiety self-esteem decreases [15,16,5]. However, in a study comparing the self-esteem of patients with different psychiatric diagnoses, patients with anxiety disorders had the highest self-esteem [17].…”

“…If recurrent, such interchanges may be hypothesized to lead to fragile and unstable self-definitions. Lack of self-confidence has been found to correlate with anxiety (7). Thus, we hypothesized that high levels of family disqualification are positively correlated with offspring anxiety.…”

The association between disqualifications in parental and family communication and manifest anxiety in boys (7 or 10 years) was investigated. The sample consisted of 59 families where one of the parents had previously been hospitalized for a functional mental disorder. Parental and family communication was observed in the Couples Rorschach (CR) and Family Rorschach (FR) tasks, respectively. The results showed that the amount of one particular type of disqualification, self-disqualification, correlated positively with the boy's anxiety level. Self-disqualification refers to utterances in which the speaker communicates in vague, egocentric or paradoxical ways, which makes it impossible for the receiver to know what has been said. This correlation was evident both with respect to the communication between the parents during CR and the communication from the family to the index boy during FR. The relationship between self-disqualification and anxiety was attributable to neither the boy's age or intelligence quotient nor the dimensions of parental psychopathology or functional impairment.
