“…A number of previous studies (Brennan & Shaver, 1995;Burge et al, 1997;Cooper et al, 1998;Dottan et al, 2003;Ognibene & Collins, 1998) have similarly reported associations between an insecure attachment style and high levels of alcohol consumption or drug abuse. As predicted, addicts also reported significantly higher levels of fear of intimacy compared to controls, and scored lower overall on self-differentiation compared to controls, consistent with other evidence that substance disorders are associated with relationship problems and low levels of self-differentiation (O'Farrell & Birchler, 1987;Skowron & Friedlander, 1998).…”

“…In this interactional approach, excessive reassuranceseeking is coupled with rejection by others, resulting in an increasingly negative interpersonal experience, increased reassurance-seeking, and an unpleasant ongoing cycle and greater depression. A clear model with data to support an interactional model of depression remains unavailable (Coyne, 1999), but several studies have noted links between perceptions of parental perceptions and emotional availability, theoretically related to attachment, and depression (Armsden, McCauley, Greenberg, Burke, & Mitchell, 1990;Burge et al, 1997;Cole-Detke & Kobak, 1996;. In a recently published article, Abela et al (2005) reported that severity of depressive symptoms was related to perceptions of parenting that are consistent with insecure attachment, but the relationship was moderated by the youth's excessive reassurance seeking.…”

Research on parent risk factors, family environment, and familial involvement in the treatment of depression in children and adolescents is integrated, providing an update to prior reviews on the topic. First, the psychosocial parent and family factors associated with youth depression are examined. The literature indicates that a broad array of parent and family factors is associated with youth risk for depression, ranging from parental pathology to parental cognitive style to family emotional climate. Next, treatment approaches for youth depression that have been empirically tested are described and then summarized in terms of their level of parent inclusion, including cognitivebehavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and family systems approaches. Families have mostly not been incorporated into clinical treatment research with depressed adolescents, with only 32% of treatments including parents in treatment in any capacity. Nonetheless, the overall effectiveness of treatments that involve children and adolescents exclusively is very similar to that of treatments that include parents as agents or facilitators of change. The article concludes with a discussion of the implications of these findings and directions for further research. Keywordsdepression; adolescence; childhood; treatment; parent factors; family risk factors Developmentally, youth are known to have close ties to their families of origin (Diamond, Siqueland, & Diamond, 2003;Steinberg, 2005). As a result, there is a general belief in the field of psychology that it is important to include parents and families in the treatment of depressed youth (Clark, Beck, & Alford, 1999;Curry, 2001) however, empirical guidelines for how to do so are lacking. Consensus about the need for, and how to measure the effects of, parental involvement in treatment is elusive (Goodman & Gotlib, 1999). Still, achieving a better understanding of the multidimensional nature of risks for depression and how parent involvement in treatment relates to those risks are the priorities for the area of youth depression.Recently, a national group of experts was called to summarize and prioritize the state of research on risk and treatment for youth depression. Specifically, the National Institutes of Mental Health (NIMH) invited a workgroup of leaders in the field of depression to clarify the state of information about the risks for and treatment of depression, and to make recommendations on where the field needs to focus research endeavors (Costello et al., 2002). Regarding risks for depression, the workgroup recommended further research into both family environment and genetics. As summarized by Costello and the NIMH workgroup, multiple pathways to depression are evident. The workgroup emphasized the multidimensional NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript nature of depression, along with the paucity of research into the early pathways and interactions that cause depression. Although research has not identified all of the parent or family ...

Prediction of the Onset of Disturbed Eating Behavior in Adolescent Girls With Type 1 Diabetes

OBJECTIVE -The purpose of this study was to identify predictors of the onset of disturbed eating behavior (DEB) in adolescent girls with type 1 diabetes.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -In this prospective study, participants completed the Children's Eating Disorder Examination interview and self-report measures at baseline and at four follow-up assessments over 5 years. Participants were 126 girls with type 1 diabetes, aged 9 -13 years at baseline. Of the 101 girls who did not have DEB at baseline, 45 developed DEB during the follow-up period; the 38 for whom data were available for the assessment before onset of DEB were compared with 38 age-matched girls who did not develop DEB. DEB was defined as dieting for weight control, binge eating, self-induced vomiting, or the use of diuretics, laxatives, insulin omission, or intense exercise for weight control.RESULTS -Logistic regression indicated that a model including BMI percentile, weight and shape concern, global and physical appearance-based self-worth, and depression was significantly associated with DEB onset ( 2 ϭ 46.0, 5 d.f., P Ͻ 0.0001) and accounted for 48.2% of the variance.CONCLUSIONS -Even though scores on the measures were within the published normal range, the onset of DEB was predicted by higher depression and weight and shape concerns and lower global and physical appearance-based self-worth as well as higher BMI percentile 1-2 years earlier compared with those not developing DEB. Early interventions focused on helping girls with diabetes develop positive feelings about themselves, their weight and shape, and their physical appearance may have protective value. Diabetes Care 31:1978-1982, 2008D isturbed eating behavior (DEB) tends to persist and worsen over time and is associated with the development of clinical eating disorders (1). Both clinical and subthreshold eating disorders are more common in teenage girls and young women with type 1 diabetes than in their nondiabetic peers (2,3) and have more significant health consequences in this population related to compromised metabolic control (2,4) and increased risk of hospitalization and diabetes-related medical complications (5,6). Identification of risk factors for DEB in girls with diabetes is of practical utility because it may allow targeted interventions to be instituted to prevent or diminish the onset of DEB in this high-risk group.In their recent review of risk factors for eating disorders, Striegel-Moore and Bulik (1) noted that internalization of an ideal of bodily thinness, body dissatisfaction, higher body weight, and dieting have consistently been identified as predictors of eating disturbance in longitudinal studies. Negative affect, including depressed mood and low self-esteem (7), and low perceived social support (8) have also been shown to predict subsequent disordered eating in some studies. However, evidence for the role of all of these risk factors has been limited. Although the mechanisms that account for the increased risk in girls with diabetes are not certain, diabetes has be...
