Abstract:
Events of eating disordered peoples' lives, prior to the development of their eating disorder were examined to see if pre-existing factors contributed to their disorder. Six women who currently had or had recovered from an eating disorder were interviewed and the transcripts analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. Five superordinate themes were identified: negative parental behaviour, child's emotional response to her parents' behaviour, child's behavioural response to her parents, trigger and eating disorder as a coping strategy. These themes formed a theoretical model: emoti

Abstract:
Although emotional maltreatment is clearly a very important issue that impedes youthsâ development, it has only recently begun to receive the attention it deserves. The present study hypothesized that for adolescents with high self-worth, high religiosity, high parent and peer support, high family cohesion, and low family conflict the negative effects of emotional abuse on internalizing symptomatology would attenuate. Additionally, the same protective factors were hypothesized to moderate the relationship between emotional and physical abuse and adolescent internalizing symptomatology. Two

Background: There is a growing clinical and research interest into emotional abuse and its detrimental impact on child welfare and development, yet increasing evidence suggests that it remains both under-recognised and under-reported.

Abstract:
This study is an examination of the emotional abuse of children, where it is the main or sole form of abuse. The ultimate aim of this applied social work project is to make a contribution to intervention in cases of psychological maltreatment. Intervention lacks credibility without some definition of the problem and an understanding of its prevalence, location and manifestation, as well as an appreciation of the type of intervention required. At the outset of the current project, an exploration of professional concerns, the wider context of child abuse and a review of the relevant literature r

This exploratory study was based upon Bowen Family Systems theory and investigated emotional cutoff in women (n = 168) who entered a substance abuse treatment program. Three questions were explored: First, the degree of emotional cutoff in this sample was compared to a non-clinical sample of women. Secondly, the relationship was explored between the variable of emotional cutoff and the following variables: substance abuse variables, individual psychological functioning variables, and marital and family relationship variables.
