Self-image and psychological distress in treatment-seeking adolescents
2017
Background: Adolescence has been recognized as a critical period for mental health during which it is fundamental to the well-being of adolescents to provide early and appropriate mental health interventions. Self-image perceptions play a particularly relevant role during adolescence since individuals are extensively involved in reorganizing their identity and relationships. Although the self-image development implies adaptive outcomes for most adolescents, some age-related tasks can be difficult to deal with and lead to psychological suffering for a minority of them. Method: This study examined how domain-specific self-image was associated with psychological distress in 128 treatment-seeki…
Satisfaction with Singlehood in Never-Married Singles: The Role of Gender and Culture
2020
Aim: The aim of this study was to reveal the role of gender and culture (German vs Polish) in Satisfaction With Singlehood (SWS). Background: Due to the number of singles increasing over the past decades, the assessment of the extent to which such people are satisfied with their singlehood and establishment of specific variables enabling satisfaction with life in singlehood to be predicted seem valid. An additional factor was gender and culture, as feminine and masculine roles are defined mainly by familial and matrimonial life and diverse cultural context. Methods: Study 1 encompassed 512 never married childless singles above 30 years old, Study 2: 196 Polish never-married singles, and St…
El papel de los problemas emocionales en la hipersexualidad
2020
Introducción: La hipersexualidad es un problema frecuente en la práctica clínica, especialmente por el malestar emocional que generan algunas de sus manifestaciones como la adicción al sexo. Sin embargo, la relación entre el malestar y la hipersexualidad no está clara y muchos autores resaltan que, además de una consecuencia, el malestar emocional podría ser causante de la búsqueda del sexo como una estrategia de regulación emocional. El objetivo del presente estudio es comprobar si existe relación entre el estado anímico y la conducta hipersexual tanto en hombres como en mujeres. Método: 400 participantes (69% hombres) entre los 18 y 40 años (M=26,65; DT=6,30) completaron una encuesta onli…

Examining the relationship between group member gender, gender composition, and outcomes of weight management therapy groups
2017
Presently there is a lack of evidence regarding the impact of gender composition of mixed-gender weight management therapy groups on members' posttreatment outcomes. As such, the current study tested the association between the gender composition of mixed-gender narrative therapy groups for weight management and members' posttreatment outcomes. Specifically, we examined the variability in group members' adjusted posttreatment psychological (Outcome Questionnaire-45 [OQ-45]) and obesity-related (Obesity Related Well-Being [ORWELL 97]) symptoms as a function of the quadratic proportion of female members in a group, and the interaction between group member gender and the quadratic proportion o…
Wem fehlt‘s hier an Distanz? Über Gender Studies als Beruf
2019
Abstract This reply shares the standard set by the discussants that sociological observation – especially in Gender Studies – makes considerable demands with regard to perspective. However, the reply contests that the discussed paper lacks a tolerance of inequality or is politically predetermined. Indeed, in contrast, it is argued that Luhmann’s difference-theoretical thinking lacks empirical specificity and that data gathered in private settings make higher demands with regard to perspective: The professional observation of gender differentiation requires getting not only political, but especially cultural and familial perspective. These are found to be lacking in the discussants. Their st…
Undoing Differences Revisited.
2020
ZusammenfassungDer Beitrag nimmt einen Blick zurück nach vorn auf das Konzept des Undoing Differences. Er soll im Sinne eines theoretischen Zwischenfazits den Nutzen und die Grenzen des Konzepts bestimmen und es in eine neue Reihe von Konzepten eintragen, mit denen sich die Negation und die Indifferenz von Humandifferenzierungen soziologisch erschließen lassen. Der Aufsatz begegnet der (inter)aktionistischen Reichweitenlimitierung des Konzeptes mit seiner Einordnung in drei Zeitebenen negatorischer Prozesse: (1) situative (In)aktivitäten verschiedener Aktivitätsniveaus, (2) Subordination und normative Inhibierung in der Konkurrenz von Unterscheidungen sowie (3) historische Prozesse ihrer De…
Representation of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in Swedish News Media: A Discourse Analysis.
2020
Despite being rated as some of the world’s most gender equal countries, Sweden and neighboring Nordic nations show high rates of intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW). As the news media contribute to the shaping of public attitudes, this article pursues a two-step discourse analysis of how IPVAW was represented in seven Swedish newspapers during 2018. Although an individualistic discourse on IPVAW was found to be most prevalent, articles where perpetrators were presented as non-Swedish more frequently contained a structural framing of IPVAW. This confirms previously noted tendencies toward individualization and othering of IPVAW in Sweden.
Virilité et masculinité des hommes handicapés
2011
A partir d’un travail clinique recent avec Marcel Nuss sur la virilite avec des hommes atteints d’un handicap l’auteur s’interroge sur les liens entre virilite et masculinite. Est interrogee l’identite sexuelle comme part de l’identite socialement construite dans un dispositif de sexualite. La clinique de l’homme handicape physique, suppose depourvu de virilite vient eclairer la clinique du masculin en general. Ne peut-on jouer un role masculin (par exemple dans la fonction paternelle, dans la sexualite ou au travail) sans posseder les attributs stereotypes de la virilite ?
