Abstract
While clinical research on disgust relies on nonclinical research, the framework of disgust as an immune mechanism is not as central in clinical research. The immune framework for disgust may be integrated into clinical research by acknowledging the role of the self as the critical element protected by the immune system. In this review, we offer the premise that at the center of all disgust-related behaviors, thoughts, and cognitions is an attempt to protect the self (i.e., "disgust is self-centered" or DISC). We offer evidence in support of DISC and explore the relevance of DISC to clinical research for several disgust-related psychopathologies (obsessive-compulsive disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, anorexia nervosa, and self-disgust). We then offer future directions for DISC research into disgust-related psychopathologies.
期刊介绍：
The Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic offers a psychodynamic perspective on the application of theory and research in outpatient psychotherapy, attachment theory, developments in cognitive neuroscience and psychopathologies, as well as the integration of different modes of therapy. This widely indexed, peer-reviewed journal has been published since 1936 by the Menninger Clinic. Topical issues focus on critical subjects such as disordered attachments, panic disorder, trauma, and evidence-based interventions.
