“…The internal consistency of both versions of the questionnaire is good (WI-7: α = .86: WI-14: α = .83). Several studies support the validity of the scale by showing that the WI can differentiate between persons with and without hypochondriasis (Pilowsky, 1967; Rief et al, 1994) and significantly correlates with related constructs (Hinz et al, 2003; Rief et al, 1994; Schwarz et al, 2007).…”

Health anxiety is an intricate part of illness anxiety and somatic symptom disorder. Based on convenience samples, two out of three available studies indicate that it is a dimensional rather than a categorical construct. Using two representative datasets, this study investigates whether previous results can be clarified. Conventional taxometric analyses as well as comparison curve fit indices (CCFI) profile analyses (MAMBAC and MAXSLOPE procedures) were calculated with two datasets of the German adult population assessing the Whiteley Index (WI-14, N = 2,072; WI-7, N = 2,498). Mean CCFIs indicated a dimensional structure for both the WI-7 (mean CCFI = 0.42, mean CCFI profile = 0.40) and the WI-14 (mean CCFI = 0.44, mean CCFI profile = 0.32). The results support and extend previous findings by strongly suggesting a dimensional distribution of health anxiety in the general population. Implications for research and practice comprise the adoption of a dimensional description of psychopathology as well as transdiagnostic treatment approaches.

“…This study is the first to utilize two representative datasets of the German adult population assessing the Whiteley Index (WI-14 and WI-7; Fink et al, 1999; Pilowsky, 1967; German version by Hinz et al, 2003; Rief et al, 1994) to investigate the latent structure of health anxiety by taxometric analyses.…”

In their answer to our critical evaluation of their meta-analysis about long-term psychodynamic psychotherapy (LTPP), Leichsenring and Rabung claim that all our critical points could be rejected. This is surprising, as the authors already confirmed different shortcomings of their analysis. Our major criticism is that the meta-analysis is based on very few high-quality studies (including follow-up assessments), but on many studies with poor quality and/or observational studies resulting in serious publication bias. Neither the treatment of interest (LTPP) nor the target group is sufficiently circumscribed, but the very few studies are misinterpreted as if confirming efficacy of all psychodynamic interventions for nearly all psychiatric groups. Superior efficacy over other effective psychological interventions is mentioned, although not justified by data. Patient selection bias which is a major issue in long-term treatments is not addressed adequately and led to erroneous conclusions that the more treatment people receive, the higher the benefit. To conclude, the authors try to suggest far-reaching conclusions which are only based on a few studies with poor data quality.
