Improving mental health through body-awareness with dynamic interpersonal therapy in patients with persistent somatic symptoms
This study shows that patients with PSS 1 have lower mental health scores relative to general population norm, 2) seem to have reduced capacity for interoceptive awareness 3) improve in both areas after completing DIT for PSS and 4) shows that improvement in interoceptive awareness was associated with improvement in mental health. Interoception based interventions in DIT-PSS might be a starting point for adequate treatment of PSS
Identifying key outcome domains with underlying specific patient-reported outcomes for psychomotor therapy in mental health care in the Netherlands
Psychomotor therapy is an experiential therapy using movement- and body-oriented interventions to diminish psychiatric symptoms and improve psychosocial functioning. However, routine evaluation of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and standardisation of patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) in psychomotor therapy research and practice in adult mental healthcare are lacking, resulting in a gap in systematic research and evaluation of psychomoto…
Hybrid Feel-Own-Move®
Background: Domestic violence is a public health concern, impacting the health and well-being of women and children globally. Shelter homes are one of the support services for victims' recovery, although providing holistic healthcare in this setting remains a struggle. Feel-Own-Move® (FOM) is an evidence-based psychomotor intervention designed to help women who have experienced domestic violence reconnect with their bodies. Hybrid FOM (H-FOM) is …
The functionality appreciation scale (FAS)
Body satisfaction in eating disorders (EDs) is negatively affected by critical evaluation of aesthetic aspects. A focus on the appreciation for the functioning of the body could create a more positive perspective. The Functional Appreciation Scale (FAS) measures functional appreciation. This is the first study that examines the Dutch version of the FAS in a clinical sample. Psychometric properties and differences in scores are evaluated in an ED …
Reasons for exercise inventory
The reasons for exercise inventory (REI) is a self-report instrument to assess why people exercise. It is important to assess the reasons for exercise in people with an eating disorder (ED), who regularly suffer from compulsive exercise. In this study the psychometric properties of the Dutch version of the REI and differences in scores are evaluated in an ED and a community sample consisting of women. Factor analysis revealed three factors: healt…
The Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness, version 2 (Maia-2)
The MAIA-2-NL is a reliable and valid instrument to measure interoceptive awareness in healthy Dutch adults. We recommend to maintain the original 37 items
Shifting the Focus
One of the most commonly used techniques for the treatment of body image problems in eating disorders (ED) is body exposure (BE). However, evidence of its effectiveness in clinical populations is scarce. In the Positive Body Experience (PBE) protocol, the focus of positive BE is on aesthetic, functional and tactile aspects of the body. The current study evaluates the outcomes of positive BE with regard to changes in attitudinal body image and eat…
