A systematic review and empiric examination of the conceptual and analytic overlap between allostatic load and multimorbidity
GLP-1 medications for weight-loss
GLP-1 weight loss drugs are receiving an avalanche of positive press. From major media outlets to trade publications, clinical, policy, and lay audiences have been inundated with articles declaring them to be “miracle drugs.” This messaging has largely been constructed by the drugs’ manufacturers, often supported with quotes from doctors and researchers holding significant, undeclared financial entanglements with the manufacturers. The peer-revie…
Living while fat
Fat microaggressions are microlevel social practices in the form of commonplace everyday indignities that insult fat people and have been documented anecdotally and qualitatively. However, no psychometrically validated scale exists for measuring fat microaggressions, despite decades of microaggression research demonstrating their negative health associations. This research describes the development and construct validation of the Fat Microaggress…
Considering case formulation and decision-making processes in music therapy assessment and treatment planning
Introduction: Two approaches to assessment and treatment planning, case formulation and decision-making, are presented and compared in order to consider what each bring to music therapy clinical practice. Method: Case formulation processes are compared with decision-making processes to illuminate the differences inherent to each approach. Special attention is given to differences related to data collection, use of theory, therapist expertise, cli…
Experiences of weight stigma in everyday life
Weight stigma and discrimination have been linked to negative health outcomes. Most research on this topic is retrospective, which may not accurately capture day-to-day experiences. The current used ecological momentary assessment to examine weight stigma and discrimination in everyday life. Participants answered ecological momentary assessments about the nature, frequency, and contextual details of weight stigma and discrimination. Over the cour…
Fighting for a (wide enough) seat at the table
Few jurisdictions provide legal protection against discrimination on the basis of weight despite evidence of pervasive inequalities faced by fat individuals in employment, healthcare, education, and other domains. Yet, in the last two decades, advocacy efforts in several countries aimed to remedy this situation have been largely unsuccessful. We present a cross-national conceptual analysis of three significant anti-discrimination developments reg…
Yes, We Can (No, You Can’t)
An inverse relationship has been observed between body mass index and physical activity levels. In the present article, we draw from a range of literatures to construct a novel, theoretical dual-pathway model that identifies direct and indirect impacts of societal weight stigma on exercise behavior. The direct pathway operates via experiences or threat of stigma and discrimination, which create traumatic learning experiences and impair the develo…

Recognizing the Fundamental Right to be Fat
Sizeism permeates and shapes how scientific and professional communities—including therapists—perceive, understand, and behave toward anyone considered fat. In this article, we use scientific evidence to argue for the recognition and establishment of fat acceptance to subvert sizeism. We first critically review the Weight Normative Approach, which dominates scientific discourse on weight, despite being based on sizeist assumptions that are discre…
Self-perceived food addiction
Authors’ roundtable
Background: Preparing a manuscript for submission and moving through the peer review process can be a challenging task. Authors may benefit from learning about the peer review process and understanding common pitfalls.Objective: Editors from music therapy journals across the globe will facilitate discussion with attendees about the process of peer review and scientific publication, offering cross-journal perspectives and examples from the vantage…
Meaning-making processes in music therapy clinical improvisation
Impact of experienced and internalised weight stigma on eating behaviour and psychological outcomes
I think, therefore I am? Characteristics of a non-clinical population of self-perceived food addicts
Gender Implications in Therapists' Constructs of Their Clients
The purpose of this study was to examine the extent to which gender was implicated in the constructs therapists used to describe their clients in the Bonny Method of Guided Imagery and Music (BMGIM). Eight therapists (m=4;f=4) compared ten (m=5;f=5) of his/her clients using the RepGrid 2.0 interview (Shaw & Gaines, 1995), a computer generated data collection method that allowed each interviewee to identify his/her own constructs for comparing cli…
