“Fostering reconciliation through historical moral exemplars in a postconflict society”: Correction to Čehajić-Clancy and Bilewicz (2017).
Reports an error in "Fostering reconciliation through historical moral exemplars in a postconflict society" by Sabina Čehajić-Clancy and Michał Bilewicz (Peace and Conflict: Journal of Peace Psychology, 2017[Aug], Vol 23[3], 288-296). In the article, there were typesetting errors in Figures 1 and 2, as well as an unintentionally omitted funding source in the author note. The omitted acknowledgement should have read: Preparation of this article was funded by the NCN Beethoven grant 2014/15/G/HS6/04589 to the second author and supported by COST IS1205 action. Corrected Figures 1 and 2 are present in the erratum. (The foll...

Autonomous and dependent-The dichotomy of birth: A feminist analysis of birth plans in Sweden.
CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE: Women primarily desired a natural, midwife-supported birth and favoured a relationship-based, woman-centred model of care, based on the close interaction between woman, partner, and midwife. Midwives need to be aware of women's ambiguous reliance on them and the power they have to influence women's birth choices and birth experiences. Feminist theory and values in midwifery practice may be useful to inspire a maternity care based on women's wishes and expectations, acknowledging and valuing women's voices, and embracing the sanctity of birth and of the birthing woman's body.

Demand for Space: Elderly Transgender and Gender Nonconforming People, Healthcare, and Theological Ethics
AbstractVisibility for transgender and gender nonconforming people and the elderly is growing; however, thus far the overlap of the two groups has rarely been considered. Trans persons therefore remain largely invisible in the context of older people ’s care and medicine. The discrimination faced by this group is at least twofold: they are the targets of aggression incited by transphobia, and also by ageism. Although older trans and gender nonconforming people exist as a greatly marginalized group within another already marginalized group, eve n the field of theological ethics has neglected to grant them ethical attentio...

Qualitative phenomenological study informs the development of educational intervention for behaviour change to reduce morbidity and mortality in adults with chronic lung disease in rural India

Are there common familial influences for major depressive disorder and an overeating–binge eating dimension in both European American and African American Female twins?
We examined the extent to which familial (i.e., genetic and shared environmental) influences overlapped between Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) and OE‐BE in a population‐based sample and whether these influences were similar across racial/ethnic groups.
MethodParticipants included 3,226 European American (EA) and 550 African American (AA) young adult women from the Missouri Adolescent Female Twin Study. An adaptation of the Semi‐Structured Assessment for the Genetics of Alcoholism (SSAGA) was administered to assess lifetime DSM‐IV MDD and OE‐BE. Quantitative genetic modeling was used to estimate familial influenc...

Genetic Overlap between Alcohol Use Disorder and Bulimic Behaviors in European American and African American Women
The association between alcohol use disorder (AUD) and its psychiatric correlates that are more commonly found in women, such as eating disorders (e.g., anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa) and their symptoms (e.g., binge eating and compensatory behaviors, collectively referred to as bulimic behaviors) has been well-established. For example, 25% of women with bulimia nervosa have had an AUD (Hudson et al., 2007; Kessler et al., 2013) and 36% of women with an AUD report binge eating (Peveler and Fairburn, 1990) in their lifetime.

Severe avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder and coexisting stimulant treated attention deficit hyperactivity disorder
ABSTRACT
There is a growing body of literature describing the development, clinical course, and treatment of avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), a diagnostic category introduced in the DSM‐5. However, information surrounding complex cases of ARFID involving coexisting medical and/or psychiatric disorders remains scarce. Here we report on two cases of young patients diagnosed concurrently with ARFID and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) who both experienced significant growth restriction following initiation of stimulant medication. The appetite suppressant effect of stimulants exacerbated lon...

Why do people persist in beliefs that are wrong – and even harmful? | Richard P Grant
People often maintain beliefs that can ’t be explained away by ignorance. In the face of this, how do we effectively communicate science?Richard Feynman said that the easiest person to fool is yourself. Fooling yourself is a particular danger for the well-educated, who see themselves as smart; and who in all likelihood tend to hang around with like-minded people of similar background and experience. Because you ’re smart, your ideas are necessarily good.The danger here is that a self-reinforcing herd mentality arises. Ideas become customs, and customs become Truth. Any deviation from the Truth is to be quashed, and out...

Perceived epilepsy stigma mediates relationships between personality and social well-being in a diverse epilepsy population.
CONCLUSION: Higher neuroticism and lower extraversion covaried with stigma beliefs, and these may be markers of poor social outcomes in PWE. Mediation models suggest that targeting epilepsy stigma beliefs may be a particularly useful component to incorporate when developing interventions aimed at promoting social well-being in diverse PWE.

Predictors of Comorbid Eating Disorders and Association with other Obsessive Compulsive Spectrum Disorders in Trichotillomania
Trichotillomania (TTM) and eating disorders (ED) share many phenomenological similarities, including ritualized compulsive behaviors. Given this, and that comorbid EDs may represent additional functional burden to hair pullers, we sought to identify factors that predict diagnosis of an ED in a TTM population. Subjects included 555 adult females (age range 18-65) with DSM-IV-TR TTM or chronic hair pulling recruited from multiple sites. 7.2% (N=40) of our TTM subjects met criteria for an ED in their lifetime.
