“…Indeed, our results unveiled a model in which self-schemas, and specifically schemas related to body weight and physical activity, were accounting for a significant part of the variance of disordered eating. This model is in line with previous results that found that selfschemas were indirectly predicting clinical and subclinical eating disorders through the availability of a fat self-schema (Stein & Corte, 2007;Stein & Corte, 2008). Our study stressed upon the importance of looking at identity development in an attempt to shed light on eating disorders.…”

“…The influence of self-schemas on disordered eating appears however to be circumscribed to weight and appearance-related domains, and not to other aspects of the physical self (Health, Strength). Those results parallel prior observations by Stein & Corte (2007) of the negative correlation between specific self-schemas (i.e., being fat and out-of-shape) and eating disorders. The present study further expands on previous findings by proposing the importance of possible selves in the study of dysfunctional eating behaviors.…”

“…More recently, research demonstrated that women with clinical eating disorders had less positive and more negative selfschemas than the control group (Stein & Corte, 2007). In addition, results showed that women with Bulimia Nervosa carried a fat self-schema constantly available in memory, which seems to be a proximal motivator for eating disorders.…”

“…Self-schemas have been conceptualized as a knowledge structure that reflects a domain of behavioral and emotional commitment (Stein & Corte, 2007), such as body weight (Markus, Hamill, & Sentis, 1987;Stein & Corte, 2007) or exercise (Kendzierski, 1988). Self-schemas can be further construed as the cognitive product of our interactions with the social environment (Cantor & Kihlstrom, 1987;Markus, 1977).…”

“…A testkép fogalom összetettségéből is adódik, hogy a testképzavarra sem gondolhatunk egyszerű és gyorsan változó tünetként, sokkal inkább tekinthetünk rá komplex identitásfejlődési zavar részeként, amely magában foglalja annak fizikai és szociális aspektusait [37,38], megalapozva ezáltal az evészavarok számos tünetét, jellegzetességét. A testképzavar szerepet játszik a betegség kialakulásában [39], fenntartásában [40] és a relapsusrá-tában [41], érinti a saját test alakjának, méretének elfogadásához szükséges fizikai szelf internalizációját [42], de idetartozik az alexithymia, az érzések megélésének és azonosításának zavara is.…”

Az irodalmi áttekintés célja a testkép és a testképzavarra vonatkozó szerteágazó vizsgálatok eredményeinek egységes keretbe emelése. A testkép fogalma összetett, számos aspektusból értelmezhető. A tanulmány első része kitér a testkép fejlődésének életkori sajátosságaira, a testre fókuszált figyelemre, a testnek az identitás kialakulásában játszott korai és fontos szerepére, bizonyos kamaszkori sajátságokra, a nemi különbségekre, illetve a testkép(zavar) stabilitá-sára, amely akár egy életen átívelő vonásként is megjelenhet. A második részben a testkép szerveződése áll a fókusz-ban. A feldolgozási folyamatokról szóló kutatási eredmények ismertetése mellett helyet kap az érzékelés pontosságá-nak kérdése, és az embodiment, a testi azonosulás fogalma is. Harmadik téma a testképzavar, amely először különböző kontinuumok részeként kerül kifejtésre, majd megjelenik a klinikai értelemben vett testképzavar, illetve az erre irányuló komplex vizsgálatok, a testképzavar esetleges state és trait aspektusai. Orv Hetil. 2017; 158(19): 723-730. Kulcsszavak: testkép, identitás, testképzavar Body image and body image distortionThe aim of this literature review is to integrate the results of various studies regarding body image and body image distortion into a unified framework. The concept of body image is complex and can be interpreted from multiple points of view. The first part of the study touches upon different age characteristics, attentional focus on the body, the early and important role of the body in identity formation, specific features in adolescence, gender differences, and the often-observed stability of body image (distortion), which may be present as a (trait) marker throughout the lifespan. The second part focuses on the organization of body image. The results of different studies on cognitive information processing are reviewed, the question of perceptual accuracy is addressed and the concepts of embodiment are examined. The third topic is body image distortion. First, the concept is contextualized along different continua, then discussed in a clinical sense along with the complexity of diagnostic methods, as well as the state and trait aspects of body image distortion. ÖSSZEFOGLALÓ KÖZLEMÉNYTanulmányunkban a testképre és a testképzavarra vonatkozó kurrens kutatási eredményeket foglaljuk össze klinikusi szemszögből. A témát elsődlegesen az evészava-rok -azon belül is az anorexia nervosa -tükrében tekintjük át, nem térünk ki egyéb, testképzavarral járó állapotok elemzésére. A testkép fogalma és fejlődéseA testkép fogalma az elmúlt évtizedekben sokat változott a magyar szakirodalomban. A fogalom korábbi tisztázat-lansága és a pontos definíció hiánya sok esetben ellentmondást szül a tudományos közleményekben [1]. Szabó

Perceptions of the “anorexic voice”: A qualitative study of health care professionals

People with anorexia nervosa (AN) often report experiencing a highly critical inner voice (AV) focused on their eating, shape, and weight. There are promising preliminary findings for its role in the treatment of AN, and the support of staff is vital for the AV to be embedded in treatment, but their views remain unknown. The aims of this study were to undertake a qualitative exploration of the perceptions of the AV among health care professionals (HCPs) in specialist eating disorder services. A thematic analysis was applied to interviews with 15 HCPs, including nurses, therapists, psychiatrists, health care assistants, psychologists, and dietitians. Two overarching themes were identified: "The AV is a vehicle for increasing compassion" and "It's not a one-size-fits-all." The AV was seen as a means of developing and sustaining compassion, but participants noted that it does not resonate for all clients. All HCPs in this study believed that there was potential benefit in utilizing the AV in their work with people with AN, and it is likely that doing so would help to reduce burnout and frustration within clinical teams.

Identity impairment and the eating disorders: content and organization of the self‐concept in women with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa

Abstract: Disturbances in the overall collection of identities--an impoverished self--is an important contributor to eating disorder symptomatology. The development of new positive selves may be an important factor in recovery.
