Neurodevelopmental Antecedents and Sensory Phenomena in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: A Systematic Review Supporting a Phenomenological-Developmental Model
Conclusions: On the ground of established common subjective experience of SP and premorbid neurodevelopmental features, we hypothesized an explanatory model for OCD, which considers the possible pathophysiological role for altered corollary discharge and enhanced error detection in the neurodevelopment of SP and obsessions. SP may represent the subjective experiential resonance of an individual history of persistently inaccurate sensory predictions, whereas accompanying manifestations, such as the obsessive need for order and symmetry, may represent a compensatory attempt to mitigate SP. This neurodevelopmental-phenomenolo...

Responsiveness to Direct Verbal Suggestions and Dissociation Independently Predict Symptoms Associated with Environmental Factors
Symptoms associated with environmental factors (SAEF; also known as idiopathic environmental intolerance) include the presentation of various common symptoms that are causally attributed to normally benign environmental triggers, such as electromagnetic fields, odors, and chemicals. SAEF are typically conceptualized as psychogenic in origin, and multiple models have proposed that dissociation and responsiveness to suggestions may contribute to the manifestation or expression of these symptoms. This preregistered study sought to characterize these variables ’ independent and interactive predictive utility. Participants (N...

Treatment Motivation and Burden of Stress among Parents of Adolescents with Non-Suicidal Self-Injury Presenting to a Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Emergency Service
Conclusion: Patients as well as their parents who present for an emergency service are especially likely to be exposed to increased stress and strain factors. During treatment, additional focus should be placed on parental stress and parental and adolescents ’ treatment motivation. Identifying and addressing deficits in motivation, increases in parental stress, as well as offering support could favorably impact future NSSI behavior.Psychopathology (Source: Psychopathology)

The Human Spectrum: A Phenomenological Enquiry within Neurodiversity
Conclusions: This shared phenomenological method was taken as a first step within a new area of active investigation in autistic phenomenology. It proved successful in eliciting detailed information on self-experience. The results suggested hypotheses for a new understanding of autism within the wider “human” spectrum of experience; for instance, the common basic need for trust and social connection but striking differences in sensory experience. It suggested that some characteristics long thought intrinsic to autism, such as social mis-perception and reduced empathy, may be alternatively und erstood as state-dependent...

Personal Identity and Narrativity in Borderline Personality Disorder: A Phenomenological Reconfiguration
This article proposes to contribute to this discussion from a phenomenological perspective. First, we will briefly review the discussions around narrative interpretation of BPD. From the problems left unresolved by the discussion, we will then justify the necessity to proceed with a stratification of the self from a phenomenology method. Third, from the thought of the Hungarian phenomenologist L ászló Tengelyi, we will continue with an archaeology of the self, in three layers – self-institution, self-formation, and minimal self – integrating Schmidt and Fuchs’ concepts of self, in addition to those of Gold and Kyra...

Delusional Misidentification Syndromes in Postpartum Psychosis: A Systematic Review
Conclusion: This is the first systematic review of the literature in this field. Although small in number, these cases reveal several important learning points including that DMS can occur with or without underlying organic disease. Active exploration of the nature of delusions in postpartum psychosis is required to mitigate the risk of harm to the infant and mother-infant bond. It may also uncover that these syndromes are more common in postpartum psychosis than previously realized.Psychopathology (Source: Psychopathology)

The Development and Validation of the First German Open Scale of Social Information Processing
Conclusion: GOSSIP is the first model-based German Web-based assessment for several SIP mechanisms that showed overall adequate psychometric properties. GOSSIP can be used to classify individuals into SIP profiles that differ in terms of their cognitive and emotional response tendencies and therefore could contribute to the development of targeted interventions. Integrating assessments of emotional responses into GOSSIP revealed an important role of “shame” in SIP and the development of psychopathology. Furthermore, the lack of external validity between GOSSIP and EMA calls into question how attribution tendencies are ...

Challenging the Sensitive Window Hypothesis: Timing Effects of Maternal Depressive Symptoms on the Intergenerational Transmission of Maltreatment and Psychopathology in the Next Generation
Conclusions: The present findings suggest that early maternal depression followed by ongoing maternal depression plays a mediating role in the intergenerational cycle of maltreatment. Therefore, in the future, interventions should be offered at an early stage, but also extend well beyond the first 2 years of a child ’s life, addressing maternal depression and trauma.Psychopathology (Source: Psychopathology)

How to Improve Training in Descriptive Psychopathology for Psychiatry Residents: A Delphi Study
Conclusions: Insufficient direct supervision in live interviews was considered the most important problem. A series of general measures were proposed to improve DP training: (i) adapting DP training throughout residency, with introductory and advanced levels; (ii) making DP training compulsory in psychiatry curricula; (iii) assessing residents ’ DP knowledge and clinical use; and (iv) training the trainers/supervisors in both content (DP) and form (how to train/supervise residents). Within didactic training, epistemology of DP and contemporary and classic authors/texts were the highest rated contents, while supervised di...

First-Episode Psychosis and Centrality in the Work of Psychiatrist Henri Grivois: A Dialog with Phenomenological Psychopathology
The article traces the hypotheses of the contemporary French psychiatrist Henri Grivois, concerning what he calls nascent psychosis. In a perspective close to descriptive phenomenology, Grivois tries to identify the alteration of subjective experience specific to the first moments of a psychosis. He thus describes the experiences of concernment and centrality as consisting in a disruption of the tacit mechanisms of mimesis and interindividual attunement. Using the common points between Grivois ’s aim and that of the phenomenological approach, the article puts these two conceptions of first-episode psychosis into dialog, ...

The Mediating Role of Health-Promoting Behaviors on the Association between Symptom Severity and Quality of Life among Chinese Individuals with Mental Illness: A Cross-Sectional Study
Conclusion: Despite clear evidence suggesting symptom severity to be negatively correlated with quality of life, the underlying mechanism has been less clear. There is a need to promote health-promoting behaviors in order to improve the quality of life of PMI. Gender-specific interventions are warranted.Psychopathology (Source: Psychopathology)

Decomposition: Partition as an Escape from Decay – A Gestalt of the Obsessive Life-World
According to phenomenological literature, the life-world of the obsessive subject is characterized by its claustrophobic closure, the attempt to stop the flow of time, and the inability to accept the formlessness hidden behind the form. The obsessive obstinately tries to build defences against what he cannot tolerate of reality and this effort causes loss of spontaneity in the pre-reflective dimension of existence, resulting in the thought process being oversaturated and ending up by blocking action. Our proposal is to unpack the phenomenon of partition in the obsessive ’s world, analysing the similarities and difference...
