How does attachment imagery for paranoia work? Cognitive fusion and beliefs about self and others mediate the impact on paranoia and anxiety
ConclusionsIn line with attachment and cognitive theory, secure attachment imagery is effective in reducing paranoia and anxiety and works by reducing cognitive fusion and negative self- and other-beliefs. These novel findings suggest that the secure imagery task could be incorporated into cognitive and behavioural therapies to reduce distressing interpersonal threat beliefs and associated negative affect, and increase help-seeking intentions.Practitioner points When working with people experiencing paranoia, secure attachment imagery may be effective in reducing state paranoia and anxiety and improving help-seeking inte...

OCD vs. Eating Disorders
There was a time when my son Dan would go days at a time without eating. When he did eat, it would have to be a specific food at a specific time in a specific place. There was no negotiating with him, and, not surprisingly, his health suffered. You might think he was obviously battling an eating disorder. That wasn’t the case, however. He was dealing with severe obsessive-compulsive disorder. While it can be argued that both OCD and eating disorders involve obsessions and compulsions, as well as the need for control, those who suffer from eating disorders typically obsess over their weight or body image. My son was not f...

Book Review: Mindful Emotional Eating
Eating because you’re sad. Eating because you’re lonely. Eating because you’re stressed. If you struggle with your weight, chances are good you’ve done one or all of these things. Maybe that one comforting cookie turns into two…three…five — and before you know it, there’s an empty package in front of you. Do you feel better afterward? Probably not. You probably feel guilty and ashamed and angry with yourself. And you vow never again to eat under the influence of emotions. But you know that you will. And psychologist Pavel G. Somov thinks that’s okay. Whatever gets you through the night. In Mindful Emotio...

Clin Psychol Psychother. 2022 Jan 12. doi: 10.1002/cpp.2711. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMetacognitive beliefs have emerged as important to health anxiety, particularly beliefs that health-related thoughts are uncontrollable.

The present study sought to extend that line of research by examining if metacognitive beliefs about the uncontrollability of health-related thoughts differentially relate to health anxiety among self-identify...

Obesity, Genetics, Depression and Weight Loss
This article is simply another opinion about obesity in America. By writing this article, I am not trying to convince anyone of anything; I’m just trying to give you something to think about — perhaps a new idea. The statistics regarding obesity in America are alarming. Currently, 35 percent of American adults are obese (CDC, 2012), and that number is projected to rise to over 50 percent in most states by 2030 (Henry, 2011). We’ve been fighting the so-called “war against obesity” since the 1980s, and yet despite all of our efforts, the problem has only gotten worse. Clearly, what we’ve been doing to try to ...

Future research should utilize experimental or longitudinal designs to examine the direction of the relationship.Practitioner points The results contribute to the limited research evidence available regarding the relationship between shame and voice ‐hearing. The results suggest the utility of psychological therapies that focus on shame such as compassion‐focused therapy and that conceptualize voices interpersonally such as cognitive analytic therapy. No conclusions c...

Perceived Adverse Parenting in Childhood and Psychological Distress Among Psychotherapy Patients: The Mediating Role of Pathogenic Beliefs
This study aims to examine the mediating role of pathogenic beliefs (i.e., emotion-laden, powerful, painful convictions about self and others) on the relation between perceived adverse parenting behaviors in childhood and subsequent adult psychopathology. Participants (mostly Caucasian and heterosexual) were 204 consecutively admitted patients with a range of psychological difficulties, including depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems, at a low-fee outpatient clinic.
