“…Within such risk pathways, youths' experience of adverse parenting styles may be conceptualized as a non-abuse adverse life experience (ALE). Non-abuse ALEs refer to adverse experiences excluding abuse (e.g., sexual or physical) (Grogan et al, 2020), and are characterized by prolonged exposure wherein associated (frequently detrimental) impacts accumulate over time (Cavelzani et al, 2018). Youths' experience of adverse parenting styles may be conceptualized as a non-abuse ALE given that parenting styles remain relatively stable throughout offspring youth development (Zhang et al, 2017), and have been associated with a variety of offspring psychopathological outcomes, including an ED in youth (Erriu et al, 2020) and adulthood (Grogan et al, 2020).…”

Parenting Styles and Disordered Eating Among Youths: A Rapid Scoping Review

Youth is a critical period in the development of maladaptive eating behaviors. Previous systematic reviews suggest the etiological significance of parent-child relationships for the onset of disordered eating in youth, but less is known about the role of parenting styles. This rapid scoping review aimed to identify whether research supports the role of parenting styles in the development of disordered eating symptoms among youths. Sixteen studies, retrieved from three databases (PsycArticles, PsycInfo, and BASE), met the inclusion criteria: original studies, published in English, examined the effect of parenting styles (authoritative or neglectful) on cognitive (drives for thinness and body dissatisfaction) and behavioral (weight control behaviors) disordered eating outcomes, among young people up to 18 years of age. Studies supported an association between various youth disordered eating symptoms such as unhealthy weight control behaviors, and experiences of adverse parenting styles characterized by high levels of control and low levels of responsiveness. Associations between adverse parenting styles and youth disordered eating were frequently indirect and differed depending on the sex of the parent and offspring. Synthesis of findings was limited due to variation in the operationalization and measurement of parenting styles, family context and disordered eating across studies. Longitudinal and standardized research is required to better understand the dynamic associations between parenting styles and youth disordered eating. Implications for family-based care in clinical practice are discussed.

“…"Unkind cutting back" is when a partner withdraws from contact unexpectedly, leaving the other party frustrated, confused, and suffering (Crastnopol, 2013). Such situations may occur in relationships involving people with borderline, with an avoidant attachment style or with postpartum depression (Cavelzani et al, 2018). People have unique relationship patterns that are not always hurtful, but they can be, provided that some specific conditions occur.…”

The purpose of this article is to present the phenomenon of psychological microtrauma, a trauma that is cumulative in nature and results from prolonged exposure to many stressful situations in one area of suffering that are usually not so severe as those causing post-traumatic stress disorder and are included in criterion A in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. The introduction to the International Classification of Diseases 11th Revision of a new disorder named complex post-traumatic stress disorder, despite allowing a better understanding of people who experience chronically repeating traumas, does not explain the consequences of microtrauma which can be approached from psycho-dynamic, clinical and social perspectives. Taking into account the difficulties associated with identifying microtrauma, knowledge of this phenomenon could be useful for clinicians and their patients. The theory of microtrauma is a promising area of research and may finally bring the answer why there is a high prevalence of diagnosing post-traumatic disorder among people who experience not severe but chronic stressful events in one area in terms of content in their daily lives, e.g. discrimination. It shows how much is still ahead of us in understanding trauma and how rich and complex this phenomenon is.
