“…Perceived availability of support has been shown to protect individuals from the psychological impact of stressful life events and chronic life strain (Cohen & Wills, 1985). It is now largely acknowledged that perceived availability of social support is beneficial (Lindorf, 2000). The findings among participants with eating disorders indicate less perceived social support from friends and family (Grissett & Norvell, 1992) and a more limited and deficient social network in comparison with controls .…”

“…However, the individual's evaluation of the availability of support is not a matter of coping, and it should be given some attention in prevention programs. Theoretically, the essence of perceived social support is the belief that one is accepted and loved, and that emotional support is available (Lindorf, 2000;Sarason, Shearin, Pierce, & Sarason, 1987). Thus, perceived social support can be thought of as the cognitive component of social support.…”

“…It has been suggested that perceived support may be a manifestation of a set of positive interpersonal schemas that include a "sense of acceptance" (Lindorf, 2000). This is closely related to self-esteem.…”

Many pre-morbid risk factors for the development of eating disorders (e.g. low selfesteem, high body dissatisfaction and maladaptive coping) also have an important function in the maintenance of these disorders. Accumulated knowledge about the prospective risk factors for eating disorders is limited, but growing. Besides those risk factors that have received some empirical support, various other variables have been hypothesized to have an effect on the development and maintenance of eating disorders. The general aim of this review is to provide a summary of current knowledge about the risk factors for eating disorders. Furthermore, it is discussed whether, and to what extent these factors have been incorporated and utilized in current prevention programs and cognitive behavioural treatment for eating disorders. Consequently, the final aim of the review is to extend the findings from empirical studies by suggesting additional strategies for taking these risk/perpetuating factors into account more effectively and thoroughly in both prevention and treatment.

“…Social support refers to the behavioral and emotional support available within a relationship. The availability and accessibility of social support to individuals have been associated with both better psychological functioning and lower incidence of mental illness (Lindorff, 2000;Sarason, Sarason, & Gurung, 2001). However, the association might not be so straightforward.…”

Objective: Research on the effects of Rogers's therapeutic relationship conditions has typically focused on the unilateral provision of empathy, unconditional positive regard, and congruence from therapist to client. Method: This study looked at both client and therapist mutuality of the Rogerian therapeutic conditions and the association between mutuality and treatment progress in the first three psychotherapy sessions. Clients (N = 62; mean age = 24.32; 77% female, 23% male) and therapists (N = 12; mean age = 34.32; nine female and three male) rated one another using the Barrett-Lennard Relationship Inventory after the first and third session. Results: Both clients and therapists perceived the quality of the relationship as improved over time. Client rating of psychological distress (CORE-OM) was lower after session 3 than at session 1 (es = .85, [95% CIs: .67, 1.03]). Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the predictive power of mutually high levels of the therapeutic conditions on treatment progress. The association between client rating of therapist-provided conditions and treatment progress at session 3 was higher when both clients and therapists rated each other as providing high levels of the therapeutic conditions (R 2 change = .073, p < .03). Conclusions: The findings suggest mutuality of Rogers's therapeutic conditions is related to treatment progress.

“…Receiving social support may not always be a good thing; research has shown that it may also be associated with increased stress [4,6,26,[63][64]. Two hypotheses have been formulated to explain such conflicting findings [6,[65][66][67].…”

BACKGROUND: Previous research has shown that social support is important for health and performance at work, but there is a lack of research regarding managers' social support at work, and if it needs to be improved. OBJECTIVE: To investigate managers' perception of work-related social support, and facilitators and hindrances that influence their seeking of social support at work. METHODS: Semi-structured interviews with sixty-two managers in two Swedish organizations. RESULTS: Work-related support, which strengthened their managerial image of being competent, was sought from sources within the workplace. Sensitive and personal support, where there was a risk of jeopardizing their image of being competent, was sought from sources outside the workplace. Access to arenas for support (location of the workplace, meetings, and vocational courses) and the managerial role could facilitate their support-seeking, but could also act as hindrances. Because attending different arenas for support were demanding, they refrained from seeking support if the demands were perceived as too high. CONCLUSIONS: Different supportive sources are distinguished based on what supportive function they have and in which arenas they are found, in order to preserve the confidence of the closest organization and to maintain the image of being a competent and performing manager.
