The relationship of psychosexual factors and eating disordersWelch, Robert Anthony January 1988 (has links)
The research presented here is an exploratory investigation of the potential role of psychosexual factors in the development of the eating disorders anorexia and bulimia. The study sample involved 41 female eating disordered patients (16 anorexics and 25 bulimics), diagnosed using the DSM-III-R criteria. These patients were recruited from The Eating Disorders Program at St. Albans Psychiatric Hospital in Radford, Virginia. Five hypotheses were tested concerning the following psychosexual factors: sexual knowledge and attitudes; sexual experience and functioning; sex roles; gender identity (sexual orientation); and history of sexual abuse or incest. The hypotheses postulated that the psychosexual factors would exist or be perceived by eating disordered patients as significantly different than would be statistically expected according to available normative data. The instrumentation for measuring these factors included the Derogatis Sexual Functioning Inventory, the Bern Sex Role Inventory, and the Klein Sexual Orientation Grid. Compared to normative data, significant results were found in the total sample for all psychosexual factors except Sexual Knowledge and Gender Identity. However, no significant differences were found between the anorexic and bulimic subsamples. These results are discussed along with their implications for therapy and research. / Ph. D.

Handbook on eating disorders for dance teachers: A guide to understanding anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and promoting proper nutrition in young female dancersKrogman, Jennifer Tena 01 January 2002 (has links)
This project discusses the problem of eating disorders in dancers. The development of eating disorders can be attributed to sociocultural development, and psychological factors. Dance places an emphasis on thinness, and the pressure to obtain ideal standards of thinness appear to be particularly salient in the development of eating disorders in dancers.

Of human bondage : investigating the relationship anorexia nervosa/ bulimia, spirituality and the body-self allianceCollett, Joan Elizabeth 06 1900 (has links)
A growing body of research recognizes spirituality as a key element in well-being, but the
agency of individual spirituality remains unclear. This study explores the role of embodied
knowledge in reality construction and its effect on illness by considering how spirituality as
embodied existence shapes reality. Spirituality, as a form of embodied knowing, is shown to
reach deeply into the fundamental relatedness of existence. The study argues for a mindbody-
spirit unity, making no distinction between self and spirit, emotions and subjective
experiences situated in the spirit. As the medium between body and self, spirituality gives
form to the felt reality of embodied knowledge and meaning, shaping language, cognition,
thought and action towards lived reality.
New ways of thinking about eating disorders were stimulated by innovative discoveries
through investigating the lived reality of the illness within an epistemology that included
subjective experiences as part of reality. While acknowledging the influence of social
discourse, the study calls for a recognition of vulnerability in the human condition giving rise
to the embodiment of a wounded self or disenabling spirituality, manifested in the
development of an eating disorder. It uncovers the anti-spiritual properties involved in the
lived reality of people struggling with anorexia/bulimia, evident in social withdrawal and/or
self-injury. Behavioural patterns of obsession and repetition underscore similarities to
addiction and ritual.
The study synthesised pastoral therapy and research. A postmodern approach to illness and
a qualitative design with interpretive phenomenology were used. Three young women
struggling with anorexia/bulimia participated in semi-structured research interviews. Their
narrative accounts provided a chronology of developing, living with and healing from
anorexia /bulimia. Emphasis shifted from an approach aimed at fixing the body to focusing on
individual experiences of the illness; what she brought to the encounter in her own resources
and potential to heal. Healing is envisaged as the ongoing development of a renewed sense
of self, an inherently spiritual process orchestrated from within. Previous disassociation of
body and self is replaced with reconnection between body, self and other, care of the spirit
became care of the body, expressed in harmony and wholeness of being. / Practical Theology / D.Div. (Pastoral therapy)
