“…Studies of test-retest reliability and sensitivity to change are required, as are studies investigating attachment measures in a range of different sociocultural contexts. Recent studies conducted in Africa and Asia (Sochos & Lokshum, 2017;Wan et al, 2017) are a welcome development for the field; more such studies are needed.…”

Family therapy for adolescent anorexia nervosa (FT-AN) is the first line treatment for the disorder, but little is known about who the treatment works for, or how it works. This thesis investigates the potential value of the constructs of attachment and mentalization as predictors of outcome in family therapy for adolescent AN. The thesis presents a systematic review of attachment and mentalization and their association with child and adolescent eating pathology in which 22 relevant studies were found. In keeping with the evidence base for adults with eating disorders, both attachment and mentalization were found to be correlates of eating pathology in childhood and adolescence. However, evidence for these constructs in the process of treatment in child and adolescent eating disorders is scarce. In a second systematic review, the psychometric properties of attachment measures in middle childhood and adolescence were investigated across 53 studies. The overall conclusion of the study is that there is a lack of evidence of adequate psychometric properties for attachment measures in this age group.In the main study, attachment and mentalization were investigated as predictors of outcome in a sample of adolescents and their parents (n = 192) receiving FT-AN across three specialist outpatient eating disorder services. Mentalization, but not attachment, was found to predict poor clinical outcome at nine months after starting of treatment, with the strongest predictive effect being excessive certainty about mental states as assessed in parents. Therapeutic alliance scores at one month were predictive of outcome but did not play a mediating role in relation to baseline attachment or mentalization. In a further empirical study, definitions of eating disorder recovery were investigated through a qualitative analysis of comments on recovery-focused social media forums. Two super-ordinate themes emerged: firstly, recovery was defined as encompassing broad psychosocial domains of wellbeing; secondly, recovery was understood to be an ongoing process. Social connectedness to others was regarded as important both to the process and definition of eating disorder recovery. The final chapter of the thesis integrates findings from across the studies with emerging theoretical developments in the fields of attachment and mentalization. It is argued that attachment and mentalization represent worthwhile constructs for further FT-AN research, with a particular emphasis on the need to better understand the mechanisms by which excessive mental state certainty might lead to poor clinical outcomes.

Culture and mental health in Nepal: an interdisciplinary scoping review

et al. 2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Efforts to address global mental health disparities have given new urgency to longstanding debates on the relevance of cultural variations in the experience and expression of distress for the design and delivery of effective services. This scoping review examines available information on culture and mental health in Nepal, a low-income country with a four-decade history of humanitarian mental health intervention. Structured searches were performed using PsycINFO, Web of Science, Medline, and Proquest Dissertation for relevant book chapters, doctoral theses, and journal articles published up to May 2017. A total of 38 publications met inclusion criteria (nine published since 2015). Publications represented a range of disciplines, including anthropology, sociology, cultural psychiatry, and psychology and explored culture in relation to mental health in four broad areas: (1) cultural determinants of mental illness; (2) beliefs and values that shape illness experience, including symptom experience and expression and help-seeking; (3) cultural knowledge of mental health and healing practices; and (4) culturally informed mental health research and service design. The review identified divergent approaches to understanding and addressing mental health problems. Results can inform the development of mental health systems and services in Nepal as well as international efforts to integrate attention to culture in global mental health.

“…Famous psychologist Goleman (2003) stated that anger, craving, and delusions are their poisons. Mishra (2017) discussed angry Frenchmen, Sochos, and Lockshum (2016) explained anger deregulation in their research on culture -specific aspects of the attachment phenomenon. Meditation also helped people suffering from the stressful pandemic of Corona Viruses-19.…”

This paper reflects the views of psychologists Gergen, andWeishar, and social constructionists like Harre. The management of anger teaches us to forgive someone and to have a clear ideology. The holy books ‘Geeta’ and the Bible both emphasize the request to “replace anger with love.”The authors like Novaco, Van Leuven, and Claude Steiner, have their own views on anger. The views of Mishra (Age of Anger) are praiseworthy. Daniel Goleman says anger is poison. Similarly, the views of Peale, Murphy, Hattie, and Watkins expressed their views on religion and self-esteem. Derrida’s logocentrism shows an emphasis on justice and Murphy’s view of the subconscious mind and on altruistic motives. Spielberger expressed his lucid views on stress and anger. This research focuses on the views of the six theorists mentioned in the title. Anger management teaches us how to forgive a person and one should have clarity in his or her conscience.
