Thesis deals with the issue of food intake disorders in secondary school. The theoretical part of the work is focused on defining the terms anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. Starting with historical development of these diseases, through complexity of causes and consequences of the disease and description of an endangered group of patients, I got to the contemporary medical treatment used. The practical part of this work consists of the questionnaire survey of adolescent students. Based on the results of this survey I proposed a brief prevention program, targeting in particular parents and teachers, including practical advices how to support the prevention of food intake disorder diseases of adolescents.

Women with bulimia nervosa and healthy controls (N=24) completed an fMRI paradigm involving anticipated and actual receipt of chocolate milkshake and a tasteless control solution. Women with bulimia nervosa showed less activation than healthy controls in the right anterior insula in response to anticipatory food reward and in the left medial orbitofrontal cortex, right posterior insula, right precentral gyms, and right mid dorsal insula in response to consummatory food reward. Covariates related to bulimia diagnosis accounted for some of these effects, but not all. Results suggest that bulimia nervosa may be related to hypo-functioning of the brain reward system rather than hyper-functioning. Implications for intervention and future research are discussed. / Committee in charge: Jeffrey Measelle, Chairperson, Psychology; Jennifer Ablow, Member, Psychology; Don Tucker, Member, Psychology; Eric Stice, Member, Not from U of 0; William Harbaugh, Outside Member, Economics

Introduction: Recently published reviews and meta-analytic studies have shown increased interest in research of the ADHD and ED comorbidity. We conducted a case-control study (133 ED female patients/93 healthy control), screening for ED among ADHD patients (N=64) and a pilot study of a support group program for adults with ADHD and psychiatric comorbidities. Methods: Adult and childhood ADHD symptoms were assessed by self-report and other- report versions of a Barkley Adult ADHD questionnaire (BAARS-IV). Patients with ED and ADHD comorbidity underwent a structured interview (DIVA 2) and Integrated Visual and Auditory Performance Tests (IVA Plus) to confirm the ADHD diagnosis. Participants of the pilot program were assessed prior to and after the therapy by the Schwartz Outcome Scale (SOS) and Quality of life (SQUALA) questionnaires. Results: Using self-report questionnaire of current symptoms 61 (46 %) of ED patients were detected as likely having ADHD compared to 22 (24 %) from a healthy control group, 37 (28 % ) of ED patients were identified with the high probability of ADHD diagnose compared to 12 (13 %) from a healthy control group with significant differences. Screening for disordered eating behaviors indicated previously documented higher prevalence of overweight among men with ADHD...

Among the human needs is the one of esteem, it means, the need of self-esteem and esteem from others. The mothers tend to live their daughters as less separated from them, due to narcissistic components that prevail in this pair as identification and symbiosis. And in the case of women with eating disorder ou something has reversed in the process of interaction between mother-daughter, bringing loss to the bound between them. The formation of the appropriate self-esteem depends deeply on the love look of appreciation by a significant person, in this case the mother, because it is never through its own eyes that the child sees itself, but always through the other’s eyes. The process of seeing itself in identification with this look directed to itself constitutes the narcissism, its own selfesteem and depending on the type of attachment existing between this couple, the child’s self-esteem will have different nuances.The research had as an aim the difficulty in the primary relationship between motherchild and self-esteem in women with eating disorders. The sample was composed by 51 participants distributed in three groups: anorexia nervosa (Gr1), bulimia nervosa (Gr2) and control (Gr3). The instruments which were used were: the Rorschach technique to evaluate the primary relationship with the maternal figure, the Rosenberg Scale to evaluate self-esteem, and a questionnaire to survey the demographic and social data and the sample characteristics. The EAT-26 and the MINI were used to select Gr3. The statistics analysis was made through ANOVA and the Chi-Square tests, with an accepted rate of significance of 0,05. Groups 1 and 2 presented indicators of higher difficulties in the primary relationship with the maternal figure, in the interpersonal relationships and low self-esteem, compared to Gr3. / Nesse artigo dois fatores de risco para os transtornos alimentares são analisados, bem como sua inter-relação contribuinte no desenvolvimento e manutenção da anorexia nervosa e da bulimia nervosa, em mulheres: a relação mãe-filha e a auto-estima. Entre as necessidades humanas está a de estima, ou seja, a necessidade de auto-estima e estima por parte dos outros. As mães tendem a vivenciar suas filhas mulheres como menos separadas delas, devido a componentes narcisistas que prevalecem nesta dupla como identificação e simbiose. No caso das mulheres com transtorno alimentar algo se inverteu no processo de interação entre mãe-filha prejudicando o vínculo entre elas. A formação da adequada auto-estima depende profundamente do olhar amoroso de apreciação por uma pessoa significativa, a mãe, porque nunca é com seus próprios olhos que a criança se vê, mas sempre com os olhos do outro. O ver-se numa identificação com esse olhar dirigido para si constitui o narcisismo, a sua própria auto-estima e dependendo do tipo de apego existente entre essa dupla, a auto-estima da filha terá nuances diferenciadas.A pesquisa teve como foco a dificuldade na relação primária entre mãe-filha e auto-estima em mulheres com transtornos alimentares. A amostra se constituiu de 51 participantes distribuídas em três grupos: anorexia nervosa (Gr1), bulimia nervosa (Gr2) e controle (Gr3). Os instrumentos utilizados foram: a Técnica de Rorschach, para avaliar a relação primária com a figura materna; Escala de Rosenberg, para avaliar a auto-estima e um questionário para levantamento de dados sócio-demográficos e características da amostra. O EAT-26 e o MINI foram utilizados para triar o grupo controle. A análise estatística foi por meio do Teste ANOVA e do Teste Qui-quadrado, com índice de significância aceito de ≤0,05. Observou-se que os grupos 1 e 2 apresentaram indicadores de maior dificuldades na relação primária com a figura materna, nos relacionamentos interpessoais e baixa auto-estima, comparados com o Gr3.

This thesis deals with the issue of eating disorders of pupils attending upper primary schools of rural and urban type. The issue of eating disorders is very complex and public often fails to understand it. People do not see the fact that the food and its rejection can turn into a real habit. Eating disorders are not only observed in young women, but also increasingly in children and adolescents. Eating disorders involve serious psychosomatic disorders, significantly affecting the mental and physical status. Thus, they may very negatively affect personality development from childhood to adulthood. They are accompanied with many somatic problems and complications and they can have a very negative influence to the overall health status of an individual. Eating disorders cause long-term problems not only to patients themselves but also to their families, spouses and friends. It is very easy to fall ill with eating disorder, but is very hard to get better.
