by Professor A Crisp A.H. Crisp

This log book brings together the in-patient version originally designed by Professor Arthur Crisp and Dr Kingsley Norton for use by people undergoing treatment in the Anorexia Nervosa Unit at Atkinson Morley's Hosptial, and the out-patient version published by Professor Crisp in 1993. The latter has been used by those attending the out-patient treatment programme of St George's Hospital Medical School and the related Highly Specialist Services section of Pathfinder Mental Health Services NHS Trust, and in other centres in the UK.The overall treatment programme is presented in the author's Anorexia Nervosa: Let me Be, first published in 1980 and now reprinted by Psychology Press.The Patient's Log Book is intended for both in-patient and out-patient use, as part of a clinically supervised treatment programme based on the "St George's" approach outlined in Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care.

Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change

by Professor A. Crisp Neil Joughin Christine Halek Carol Bowyer

This guide to 'self-help' has become highly valued by sufferers from anorexia nervosa, their families and their carers. It relates to Arthur Crisp's much praised text Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be, now in its third reprint. Many sufferers report that Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change has provided them with their first private opportunity to reconsider their position and future properly, and then to do more about them. Carers have found it particularly helpful as a joint tool in their work with patients, especially when used alongside the more recently published Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care and the Patient's Log Book from the same centre.

Anorexia Nervosa and Other Dyscontrol Syndromes

by E.L. Edelstein

What is that which gleams through me and smites my heart without wounding it? I am both a-shudder and a-glow. St. Augustine It is wonder and awe that I feel in view of the individual's power to create self-therapeutic devices. This book is the saga of these young in­ dividuals, who change and recreate the shape and dimensions of their bodies in a quest to achieve and finally demonstrate autonomy. Ironically, it seems that they can go on living thanks to their exces­ sive behavior, their hunger, and their deviances. They exhibit an ex­ treme polarity, an "either-or": the thrill of excesses, the joy of giving in to pleasure, versus masochistic enjoyment and pride curbing, procras­ tinating and mastering these impulses almost to the absolute by simple force of effort and sublimatory strength. Somewhat alien to the medi­ cal profession, these maladies are self-induced, and only make sense if their symbolism is recognized and understood using a hermeneutic ap­ proach. It aptly reflects their interaction with other objects, both human and nonhuman. The anorectic girl, to whom the book is specifically devoted, rejects any human bond in a masochistic way and also denies that her own body is a worthwhile object that deserves to be cared for. On the other hand, her body and its expressions are virtually under the most potent overcontrol. Thus, the narrative of the anorectics is strongly related to their incessant suffering, which is again of their own creation.

Anorexia nervosa: Effektivität einer Gewichtsmapping-basierten Intervalltherapie

by Kathrin Peters

Bei Anorexia nervosa zeigen sich oft schwere, langwierige und mitunter ernüchternde Verläufe. Selbst nach scheinbar erfolgreicher stationärer Behandlung kommt es häufig zu erneutem Körpersubstanzverlust und ungeplanten Wiederaufnahmen. Kathrin Peters stellt daher eine innovative Weiterentwicklung bisheriger Therapiekonzepte vor: Die Gewichtsmapping-basierte Intervalltherapie für Anorexia nervosa bei Erwachsenen. Diese fokussiert den Aufbau eines selbstfürsorglichen Essverhaltens sowie die Akzeptanz der resultierenden Gewichtsentwicklung. Durch eine individualisierte Behandlungsplanung auf Basis standardisierter Mapping-Methoden mit planvoll genutzten stationären Therapie- und häuslichen Erprobungsphasen können Bewältigungskompetenzen stufenweise aufgebaut werden. Erstmalig wird die mittelfristige Effektivität der Gewichtsmapping-basierten Intervalltherapie im Vergleich zur Standardtherapie untersucht und ihre Wirksamkeit empirisch belegt. Damit wird erstmals aufgezeigt, dass Gewichtsmapping-basierte Intervalltherapie vielversprechend für die Praxis ist, um die Essstörungsbewältigung nachhaltig positiv zu beeinflussen.

The Anorexic Mind (Tavistock Clinic Series)

by Marilyn Lawrence

Eating disorders vary in severity from developmental difficulties in adolescence which may be transitory, to serious and chronic mental illnesses. The Anorexic Mind offers a coherent approach to these difficult and demanding problems, always underlining the point that while many of the manifestations are physical, eating disorders have their origins as well as their solutions, in the mind. While anorexia nervosa may be considered the central syndrome in eating disorders, this book also considers how it links and differs from bulimia nervosa, the more common, related disorder. In the process of the research on anorexia and bulimia, valuable insights have been gained into the very common problem of overeating. The author takes a developmental approach to eating disorders, and is very aware of the continuities between infantile, adolescent and adult experience. Our earliest relationship is a feeding relationship and feeding difficulties early in life are not rare.

Another Day in the Monkey's Brain

by Ralph Siegel

ANOTHER DAY IN THE MONKEY'S BRAIN charts a neuroscientist's journey to understand the central mysteries of consciousness. Dr. Siegel began his career in the neurophysiology of vision in the 1980s, just when the field was coming into focus with the advent of new computing and imaging technologies. As a pioneer in the technique of mesoscopic imaging, he worked with some of the giants in vision science: Torsten Wiesel, Francis Crick, Tom Albright and many others. With insight and clarity, he shows how science is built on such relationships. Along the way, he gives a vivid sense of the abundant passion and creativity that drive scientists in their pursuit of understanding. From monkey to man, Dr. Siegel finds the beauty in the scientific discovery of self in mind and brain.

Another Kind of Evidence: Studies on Internalization, Annihilation Anxiety, and Progressive Symbolization in the Psychoanalytic Process (CIPS (Confederation of Independent Psychoanalytic Societies) Boundaries of Psychoanalysis)

by Norbert Freedman Jesse D. Geller Joan Hoffenberg Marvin Hurvich Rhonda Ward

In our current professional climate, with calls for 'evidenced-based treatment', and in light of the prestige accorded to this emblem, we can ask: for what purpose do we seek evidence? For our students? For the public at large? For an inner sense of feeling supported by science? Most disciplines are concerned with cumulative knowledge, aimed toward self-affirmation and self-definition, that is, establishing a sense of legitimacy. The three parts of this volume are directed toward the goal of affirming a public and private sense of the legitimacy of psychoanalysis, thereby shaping professional identity. In each contribution we adhere to the precepts of 'scientific inquiry', with a commitment to affirming or disconfirming clinical propositions, utilizing consensually agreed upon methods of observation, and arriving at inferences that are persuasive and have the potential to move the field forward. Beyond this, each part of this book describes distinct methodologies that generate evidence pertaining to public health policy, the persuasiveness and integrity of our psychoanalytic concepts, and phenomena encountered in daily clinical practice.

There are two graphs on the page which show the main effects that can occur with ANOVA data. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. One graph is at the top of the page and one at the bottom. They both have the y-axis to the left labelled cell means. The x-axis to the bottom is marked with the experimental conditions A, B and C. There are two lines plotted on each graph, which are labelled at the top of the page in a small key, and represent the groups. Both graphs are titled Main effects for condition. The graph at the top of the page shows the two lines sloping downwards to the point marked B on the X-axis, and then rising upwards. The graph in the lower half of the page shows the two lines close together at point marked A on the X-axis and then rising upwards.
