This book was released on 2016 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eating disorders are a serious mental illness characterized primarily by disturbances in eating behaviors and body image. Eating disorders often emerge during adolescence, a period in the life course that is comprised of numerous biological, psychological, and social changes. As a result, adolescent eating disorders can significantly alter the trajectory of one’s life without proper intervention. Although studies examining adolescent eating disorders are abundant, some aspects of the nature of eating disorders in adolescence remain understudied. Despite the complex nature of eating disorders, studies often focus on specific biological, psychological, or social factors associated with eating disorders. The current study, therefore, uses a biopsychosocial approach to investigate correlates and comorbidities associated with eating disorder symptoms and recovery in a clinical sample of adolescents. Secondary administrative data from an urban pediatric hospital’s eating disorder clinic were used for this investigation. This dissertation is separated into three independent studies. In chapter 2, I examine the prevalence of trauma in a sample of adolescent patient receiving outpatient treatment for an eating disorder. I use bivariate statistics and binomial and multinomial logistic regression models to examine similarities and differences in eating disorder symptoms for those with and without significant trauma exposure. Results show that over one-third of the sample experienced at least one lifetime traumatic event and traumatic exposure was significantly related to bulimia nervosa and higher weight status ( body mass index `BMI” and percent expected body weight). In the following chapter, I examine the prognostic factors associated with early weight restoration in a clinical sample of adolescents receiving outpatient treatment for anorexia nervosa. Findings reveal comorbid anxiety as significant positive predictor of weight restoration at 3 month follow up. Given the importance of comorbid symptoms in the presentation of eating disorders, chapter 4 examines differences in youth and caregiver reports of anxiety and depression symptoms. I find that youth and caregiver reports of comorbid symptoms are significantly discrepant with caregivers reporting higher levels of anxiety and depression than youth. Families with younger adolescents and adolescents with subclinical threshold eating disorder symptoms reported significantly less congruence. I address limitations, future research directions, clinical implications, and implications for overall adolescent development in chapter 5.

Book excerpt: Eating disorders (ED) are a group of mental disorders characterized by an altered food intake and the presence of inappropriate behaviors and thoughts about weight and shape. All EDs lead to physical and psychosocial functioning impairments in the patients which, in turn, may contribute to the persistence of the disease. The severity of EDs has been highlighted by their chronicity, medical complications, comorbidity, and high rates of mortality. Therefore, to address this important health issue, the current Special Issue collected 21 articles (i.e., three reviews and 18 research articles) focusing on the most recent and relevant scientific findings regarding advances in ED, such as genetic and epigenetic factors, biomarkers, comorbidity, clinical phenotypes, neurocognition, treatment predictors, and treatment models and therapeutic targets. Altogether, we believe that the articles contained in this Special Issue have largely achieved the initial objective of providing increased knowledge about the pathogenesis, the risk factors, the maintenance factors, and the most appropriate treatments tools for ED.

Download or read book Ren Girard Theology and Pop Culture written by Ryan G. Duns and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2021-08-10 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In René Girard, Theology, and Popular Culture, fifteen contributors consider how Girard’s mimetic theory can be used to uncover and probe the theological depths of popular culture. Creative and critical engagement with Girard’s theory enables the contributors to offer fresh and exciting interpretations of movies (The Devil Wears Prada, Mean Girls, Star Wars), television (Hoarders, Cobra Kai), classical literature and graphic novels, and issues ranging from anorexia to social media. The result is a volume that establishes Girard as an innovative interpreter of culture and shows him as an invaluable guide for theologically reflecting on desire, violence, redemption, and forgiveness. Written in fresh and lively prose, the contributors demonstrate not only that Girard provides a powerful lens through which to view culture but also—and more provocatively—challenge readers to consider what popular culture reveals about them. Readers looking for an accessible introduction to mimetic theory and exploring its theological application will find this a welcome resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What’s Eating Us is a feat of reporting in the hope of helping people repair their relationship with their bodies and food." ––Shondaland Blending personal narrative and investigative reporting, Emmy Award-winning journalist Cole Kazdin reveals that disordered eating is an epidemic crisis killing millions of women. Women of all ages struggle with disordered eating, preoccupation with food, and body anxiety. Journalist Cole Kazdin was one such woman, and she set out to discover why her own full recovery from an eating disorder felt so impossible. Interviewing women across the country as well as the world’s most renowned researchers, she discovered that most people with eating disorders never receive treatment––the fact that she did made her one of the lucky ones. Kazdin takes us to the doorstep of the diet industry and research community, exposing the flawed systems that claim to be helping us, and revealing disordered eating for the crisis that it is: a mental illness with the second highest mortality rate (after opioid-related deaths) that no one wants to talk about. Along the way, she identifies new treatments not yet available to the general public, grass roots movements to correct racial disparities in care, and strategies for navigating true health while still living in a dysfunctional world. What would it feel like to be free? To feel gorgeous in your body, not ruminate about food, feel ease at meals, exercise with no regard for calories-burned? To never making a disparaging comment about your body again, even silently to yourself. Who can help us with this? We can. What's Eating Us is an urgent battle cry coupled with stories and strategies about what works and how to finally heal—for real.

Download or read book Eating Disorders and the Brain written by Bryan Lask and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2011-09-19 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the brain important in eating disorders? This ground-breaking new book describes how increasingly sophisticated neuroscientific approaches are revealing much about the role of the brain in eating disorders. Even more importantly, it discusses how underlying brain abnormalities and dysfunction may contribute to the development and help in the treatment of these serious disorders. Neuropsychological studies show impairments in specific cognitive functions, especially executive and visuo-spatial skills. Neuroimaging studies show structural and functional abnormalities, including cortical atrophy and neural circuit abnormalities, the latter appearing to be playing a major part in the development of anorexia nervosa. Neurochemistry studies show dysregulation within neurotransmitter systems, with effects upon the modulation of feeding, mood, anxiety, neuroendocrine control, metabolic rate, sympathetic tone and temperature. The first chapter, by an eating disorders clinician, explains the importance of a neuroscience perspective for clinicians. This is followed by an overview of the common eating disorders, then chapters on what we know of them from studies of neuroimaging, neuropsychology and neurochemistry. The mysterious phenomenon of body image disturbance is then described and explained from a neuroscience perspective. The next two chapters focus on neuroscience models of eating disorders, the first offering an overview and the second a new and comprehensive explanatory model of anorexia nervosa. The following two chapters offer a clinical perspective, with attention on the implications of a neuroscience perspective for patients and their families, the second providing details of clinical applications of neuroscience understanding. The final chapter looks to the future. This book succinctly reviews current knowledge about all these aspects of eating disorder neuroscience and explores the implications for treatment. It will be of great interest to all clinicians (psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, dieticians, paediatricians, physicians, physiotherapists) working in eating disorders, as well as to neuroscience researchers.
