Relationship between mothers' thoughts and behaviors and their daughters' development of the body image
2019
Behaviors related to body image are influenced by learning and sociocultural environment; the parents can contribute to their children’s food problems through social values that they are supporting. Furthermore, it is known that during the development of the body image of girls it is fundamental the identification with the parent of the same sex. However, the extent of maternal influence is unknown, so our aim is to analyze the relationship between thoughts and behaviors of mothers and the development of their daughters’ body image, specifically on the variables: perceived image and ideal image, satisfaction and concern about body image, and social network behaviors. The study involved 53 p…

Part 1—You can run but you can't hide: Intrusive thoughts on six continents
2014
Abstract Most cognitive approaches for understanding and treating obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) rest on the assumption that nearly everyone experiences unwanted intrusive thoughts, images and impulses from time to time. These theories argue that the intrusions themselves are not problematic, unless they are misinterpreted and/or attempts are made to control them in maladaptive and/or unrealistic ways. Early research has shown unwanted intrusions to be present in the overwhelming majority of participants assessed, although this work was limited in that it took place largely in the US, the UK and other ‘westernised’ or ‘developed’ locations. We employed the International Intrusive Thoug…
El carácter transdiagnóstico de las intrusiones mentales/ Transdiagnostic nature of unwanted mental intrusions
2019
Unwanted mental intrusions (UMIs) and their functional consequences had been proposed as symptom dimensions in current cognitive models of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD), Illness Anxiety/Hypochondriasis (IA/H) and Eating Disorders (EDs). The main purpose of this doctoral dissertation was to ascertain the transdiagnostic nature of UMIs, above and beyond their specific contents, i.e., obsessional, appearance defects, illness and death, and eating disorders-related. To this end, the Questionnaire of Unpleasant Intrusive Thoughts (QUIT) was designed, and, based on it, four studies were conducted. Studies 1 and 2 examined the transdiagnostic nature of UMIs, b…
Part 3. A question of perspective: The association between intrusive thoughts and obsessionality in 11 countries
2014
Abstract A key assumption of contemporary cognitive-behavioral models of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is that obsessional thoughts exist on a continuum with “normal” unwanted intrusive thoughts. Recently, however, some authors have challenged this notion. The present study aimed to clarify (a) the extent that different types of intrusive thoughts in nonclinical individuals are associated with obsessionality, (b) the relative contribution of frequency, distress and control ratings to obsessionality, and (c) the extent that existing findings (primarily from North American or European samples) generalize to other countries in the world. Five hundred and fifty-four non clinical individua…
Which Facets of Mindfulness Protect Individuals from the Negative Experiences of Obsessive Intrusive Thoughts?
2018
Obsessive intrusive thoughts (OITs) are experienced by the majority of the general population, and in their more extreme forms are characteristic of obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD). These cognitions are said to exist on a continuum that includes differences in their frequency and associated distress. The key factors that contribute to an increased frequency and distress are how the individual appraises and responds to the OIT. Facets of mindfulness, such as nonjudgment and nonreactivity, offer an alternative approach to OITs than the negative appraisals and commonly utilised control strategies that often contribute to distress. Clarifying the role of facets of mindfulness in relation to…
Vulnerabilidad cognitiva a la hipocondría: intrusiones, valoraciones y creencias disfuncionales/ Cognitive vulnerability to hypochondriasis: intrusio…
2019
La hipocondría es un trastorno caracterizado por el miedo o la creencia de padecer una enfermedad grave a partir de la interpretación negativa de los signos y síntomas corporales. La confirmación por parte de un médico, después de una evaluación exhaustiva, de que el paciente no padece una enfermedad médica, no tiene como resultado una tranquilización segura y duradera. Por lo general, las personas que presentan hipocondría pueden experimentar una reducción de la ansiedad después de visitar al médico, pero esta reducción dura solo horas o días. Cuando se presenta otro síntoma, la ansiedad reaparece y el ciclo de preocupación hipocondríaca se reanuda. Además, la hipocondría se puede manifest…
¿TIENEN LOS NIÑOS PENSAMIENTOS INTRUSOS ANÁLOGOS A OBSESIONES? PRESENTACiÓN DE UN INSTRUMENTO ESTANDARIZADO Y RESULTADOS PRELIMINARES
2007
Los pensamientos intrusos no deseados con contenidos similares a las obsesiones clínicas, constituyen una experiencia prácticamente universal en adultos sin psicopatologías. Sin embargo, no existen apenas evidencias de la presencia de estas introsiones en población infantil y pre-adolescente. En este trabajo se presenta el Inventario de Pensamientos Intrusos Obsesivos para Nif'los y Adolescentes (INPIOS-NA), que recoge en 45 items la frecuencia con que se experimentan intrusiones con temática obsesivo-compulsiva. Lo completaron 122 nif'los (12 y 13 af'los). El análisis factorial exploratorio produjo cuatro factores: 1) Agresión, sexo, acumulación; 2) Contaminación y dudas; 3) Superstición y…
