Abstract
Introduction: Prominent eating disorders (EDs) theories identify a critical relationship between body and self. One of the ways to study this relationship is through autobiographical memories (AMs). The present review aimed to evaluate the studies that investigated AM in patients with EDs.
Methods: A search of PubMed, ScienceDirect, and Scopus databases was performed to identify relevant articles. Of the 57,113 studies found, 25,016 were not duplicated. After screening, 27 articles were included.
Results: The studies had some methodological flaws: none of the articles was a randomized control trial and the sample sizes were small. Nevertheless, important evidence emerged because all studies showed that patients with EDs have impaired AM function. This is because the way patients with EDs remember and define themselves is through an allocentric perspective associated with the gazes of others whose role has an impact on AM, body shape, and self.
Conclusion: To our knowledge, this is the first systematic review to examine AM in patients with EDs. Future research is needed in EDs to expand knowledge about the relationship between the body and the self.
导言:著名的进食障碍(EDs)理论认为,身体与自我之间存在着重要的关系。研究这种关系的方法之一是通过自传体记忆(AMs)。本综述旨在评估有关进食障碍患者自传体记忆的研究:方法:对 PubMed、ScienceDirect 和 Scopus 数据库进行了检索,以确定相关文章。在找到的57113篇研究中,有25016篇没有重复。经过筛选,共纳入 27 篇文章:这些研究在方法上存在一些缺陷:没有一篇文章是随机对照试验,样本量也很小。然而,由于所有研究都表明 ED 患者的 AM 功能受损,因此出现了重要的证据。这是因为ED患者记忆和定义自我的方式是通过与他人目光相关的分配中心视角,而他人的角色对AM、体形和自我都有影响:据我们所知,这是第一篇研究 ED 患者 AM 的系统性综述。未来还需要对 ED 进行研究,以扩大对身体与自我之间关系的了解。
期刊介绍:
''Psychopathology'' is a record of research centered on findings, concepts, and diagnostic categories of phenomenological, experimental and clinical psychopathology. Studies published are designed to improve and deepen the knowledge and understanding of the pathogenesis and nature of psychopathological symptoms and psychological dysfunctions. Furthermore, the validity of concepts applied in the neurosciences of mental functions are evaluated in order to closely bring together the mind and the brain. Major topics of the journal are trajectories between biological processes and psychological dysfunction that can help us better understand a subject’s inner experiences and interpersonal behavior. Descriptive psychopathology, experimental psychopathology and neuropsychology, developmental psychopathology, transcultural psychiatry as well as philosophy-based phenomenology contribute to this field.
