The present questionnaire study examined attachment-religion connections among 175 believers within the Læstadian revival movement (Lutheran) in Sweden and Finland. Corroborating previous research findings from other religious populations, our findings strongly supported the idea that attachment security (i.e. positive, non-defensive representations of self and others) facilitates the intergenerational transmission of religion from parents to offspring (the socialized correspondence hypothesis) in families within the Læstadian revival movement. Extending previous research, attachment security was also linked to the adoption and transmission of the congregation’s religious standards and to perceived religious support from the congregation. Results pertaining to religion-as-compensation for attachment-related insecurity (the compensation hypothesis) were generally mixed, perhaps due to particularities of Læstadian faith.

AbstractThe recent history of psychiatry is one of diagnostic expansion. Since the etiological model of mental illness was superseded by the symptom model around 1980, new diagnoses have continuously been added to the reigning manuals of psychopathology, most recently with DSM-5 and ICD-11. This article unfolds some of the criticism that has recently been directed at diagnostic psychiatry with a focus on two quite different lines of critical thought: One represented by a neuroscientific approach known as RDoC, which argues that psychiatry must move beyond symptoms and find the causes of mental illness in the brain (Insel et al., Citation2010), and another represented by a contextual approach known as PTMF, which argues that mental distress is by and large understandable in light of what happens to people (Boyle & Johnstone, Citation2020). These oppositional perspectives stand out as prototypical, and each contain valuable insights but also limitations. The article ends by arguing that the limitations can be overcome if the perspectives are united by a hybrid theory stating that mental illness is always a property of a relation between a person and an environment. Two such theories are introduced and discussed (Gannik, Citation2002; Wakefield, Citation1992).Keywords: psychiatric diagnosesmental illnesspathologizationsymptomsneurosciencecontext Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author.Notes1 There are of course other alternative conceptualizations, which I cannot address in detail here, e.g., HiTOP (Kotov et al., Citation2017).2 The following sections rework material from Brinkmann (Citation2016b).Additional informationFundingDanmarks Frie Forskningsfond
摘要精神病学的近代史是诊断扩展史。自从1980年前后精神疾病的病因模型被症状模型所取代以来,新的诊断不断被添加到主流精神病理学手册中,最近的是DSM-5和ICD-11。这篇文章揭示了最近针对诊断精神病学的一些批评,重点是两种截然不同的批评思想:一种以神经科学方法RDoC为代表,该方法认为精神病学必须超越症状,在大脑中找到精神疾病的原因(Insel等人,Citation2010),另一种以情境方法PTMF为代表,该方法认为,根据人们发生的事情,精神痛苦基本上是可以理解的(Boyle和Johnstone, Citation2020)。这些对立的观点都是典型的,每个观点都包含有价值的见解,但也有局限性。文章最后指出,如果这些观点被一种混合理论联合起来,即精神疾病总是一个人与环境之间关系的属性,那么这些局限性是可以克服的。本文介绍并讨论了两种这样的理论(Gannik, Citation2002;韦克菲尔德,Citation1992)。关键词:精神诊断精神疾病病理症状神经科学背景披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。注1当然还有其他替代概念,我无法在这里详细说明,例如HiTOP (Kotov et al., Citation2017)以下几节是对布林克曼(Citation2016b)材料的返工。其他信息资助丹麦Frie Forskningsfond

This issue of Nordic Psychology features a selection of important and intriguing articles to be enjoyed during the stormy and rainy Nordic summer. The articles cover signi fi cant themes such as Attention De fi cit and Reading Dif fi culty, Intellectual Humility, Consumer Choice, Overspending, Maternal Substance Misuse, and Trust. In the fi rst article of this issue “ Linking aberrant pauses during object naming to letter and word decoding speed in elderly with attention complaints ” Roger Carlsson, Idor Svensson, Christer Jacobson and Siegbert Warkentin tested whether the association between Attention de fi cit and reading dif fi culty are comorbid in neuropsychiatric disorders is also present in healthy elderly with undiagnosed attention problems. Thirty-two subjects (65 þ years) with life-long complaints of attention and with a Mini Mental (MMSE) cutoff of 27 points were tested with MapCog Spectra (MCS), with a word recognition test (Word Chains test) and CANTAB subt-ests of attention. The study showed that attention was linked to decoding speed irrespective of intelligence and gender. The authors therefore suggest that a clinical assessment of attention de fi cit should also include an assessment of decoding ability, and vice versa, as these cognitive functions are strongly interdependent. In the second article of this issue “ A Preliminary Investigation of Intellectual Humility as a Protective Factor for Maladaptive Personality Traits ” Francesca Penner, Lauren Bowersox, Jacob Leavitt and Carla Sharp examined associations between intellectual humility (IH) and the fi ve maladaptive traits outlined in the Alternative Model of Personality Disorders from Section III of the DSM-5: negative affect, detachment, antagonism, disinhibition, and psychoticism. The sample included 897 young adults between the ages of 18 – 25 (79.8% female), who completed the fi ve-factor Personality Inventory for DSM-5 and the three-factor Intellectual Humility Scale as part of a cross-sectional online study. The results showed that fi ve maladaptive traits were signi fi cantly and inversely predicted by at least one of the three IH domains, over and above age and gender. The authors discuss the clinical implications of the results, particularly for personality disorders that involve antagonism
