Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The age of onset for eating disorders (anorexia and bulimia nervosa) among females is typically late adolescence. In the present study, it was hypothesized that the onset of eating disorders is related to the late-adolescent developmental task of identity development. Thirty-three late adolescent and young adult females who met DSM-III-R criteria for an eating disorder (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or eating disorder not otherwise specified) and 33 control females completed the Extended Objective Measure of Ego Identity status -- 2 (EOMEIS-2). Results of chi square analyses revealed no significant differences between eating disorder and control females with regard to status of identity development. However, when identity status subscale scores were treated as continuous variables, several significant between-group mean differences emerged. In line with expectations, eating disorder subjects scored higher on ideological diffusion and moratorium, and they scored lower on ideological achievement. Eating disorder subjects also scored higher on interpersonal diffusion and lower on interpersonal achievement. In addition, there were significant correlations between ideological diffusion and measures of depression and anxiety. Unexpectedly, there were also significant correlations between ideological moratorium and measures of depression, anxiety, social alienation, family discord, and borderline personality symptomatology. The possible implications of these results for understanding frequently occurring, co-morbid symptoms in eating disorder subjects are discussed.

Book excerpt: "Deciphering Complexity: A Comprehensive Study of Eating Disorder Symptoms, Maltreatment, and Borderline Personality Traits in Pre-Adolescent Girls" embarks on a profound exploration into the intricate web of factors influencing the mental and emotional well-being of pre-adolescent girls. This comprehensive study meticulously dissects the multifaceted relationships between eating disorder symptoms, experiences of maltreatment, and borderline personality traits, shedding light on the complex interplay among these elements during a crucial developmental stage. With meticulous research and empathetic understanding, the study delves into the nuanced world of pre-adolescent girls, examining the emergence of eating disorder symptoms within this vulnerable demographic. It explores the subtle signs of disordered eating behaviors, body image issues, and their relationship with emotional distress. Simultaneously, the study investigates the impact of maltreatment, encompassing various forms of abuse and neglect, on the psychological well-being of these young girls. By unraveling the connections between traumatic experiences and the development of borderline personality traits, the study offers valuable insights into the coping mechanisms adopted by these girls in response to adversity. Through a combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, the study paints a comprehensive picture of the complexities faced by pre-adolescent girls. It examines the psychological factors underpinning their behaviors, highlighting the role of selfesteem, emotional regulation, and interpersonal relationships. The study emphasizes the significance of early intervention and support systems, advocating for trauma-informed approaches that address both the external stressors and internal psychological struggles faced by these girls. The narrative of the study is enriched by real-life narratives and case studies, offering a humanizing perspective on the challenges faced by pre-adolescent girls dealing with eating disorder symptoms, maltreatment, and borderline personality traits. By deciphering this complexity, the study not only advances scientific understanding but also advocates for empathy, awareness, and tailored interventions that promote the mental and emotional well-being of pre-adolescent girls, nurturing their resilience and empowering them to navigate the challenges of adolescence and beyond.

Download or read book Handbook of Social Development written by Vincent B. Van Hasselt and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-11 with total page 605 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social development over one's lifetime is a complex area that has received consider able attention in the psychological, social-psychological, and sociological literature over the years. Surprisingl~ however, since 1969, when Rand McNally published Goslin's Handbook of Socialization, no comprehensive statement of the field has appeared in book form. Given the impressive data in this area that have been adduced over the last two decades, we trust that our handbook will serve to fill that gap. In this volume we have followed a lifespan perspective, starting with the social interactions that transpire in the earliest development stages and progressing through childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and, finall~ one's senior years. In so doing we cover a variety of issues in depth. The book contains 21 chapters and is divided into five parts: I, Theoretical Perspectives; II, Infants and Toddlers; ill, Children and Adolescents; Iv, Adults; and V, The Elderly. Each of the parts begins with introductory material that reviews the overall issues to be considered. Many individuals have contributed to the final production of this handbook. Foremost are our eminent contributors, who graciously agreed to share with us their expertise. We also thank our administrative and technical staff for their assistance in carrying out the day-to-day tasks necessary to complete such a project. Finall~ we thank Eliot Werner, Executive Editor at Plenum, for his willingness to publish and for his tolerance for the delays inevitable in the development of a large handbook.
Download or read book Boy Crazy written by Janet Sayers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-06-19 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In answering these questions, Janet Sayers highlights the revolution wrought in both sexes' psychology by adolescence, particularly by its fantasies of divided selves and loves and of 'boy crazy' grandiosity and romance. Illustrated throughout with fascinating examples from a groundbreaking study of adolescent memories and dreams, Boy Crazy presents an engaging account of this little-researched period of human development. Sayers also draws on her own work as a therapist, and weaves in vignettes from fiction and film, to demonstrate the significance we attach in adulthood to our experiences as adolescents. She suggests that men and women respond differently to the sexual awakening that takes place during their teens, and to their own memories of that part of their life. In relating the findings of her research the author also explores to what extent the theories of Freud, Jung and feminism shape our understanding of the formative effect of adolescent experiences and emotions. Boy Crazy provides a fascinating insight into the repercussions of adolescence on our adult lives and loves and will appeal to the general and specialist reader alike.

Download or read book Handbook of Adolescent Health Risk Behavior written by Ralph J. DiClemente and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-21 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Adolescence is a developmental period of accelerating physical, psychological, social! cultural, and cognitive development, often characterized by confronting and surmounting a myriad of challenges and establishing a sense of self-identity and autonomy. It is also, unfortunately, a period fraught with many threats to the health and well-being of adoles cents and with substantial consequent impairment and disability. Many of the adverse health consequences experienced by adolescents are, to a large extent, the result of their risk behaviors. Many adolescents today, and perhaps an increasing number in the future, are at risk for death, disease, and other adverse health outcomes that are not primarily biomedical in origin. In general, there has been a marked change in the causes of morbidity and mortality among adolescents. Previously, infectious diseases accounted for a dispro portionate share of adolescent morbidity and mortality. At present, however, the over whelming toll of adolescent morbidity and mortality is the result of lifestyle practices.
