Among EDNOS, the most common (Hudson et al., 2007) is Binge Eating Disorder (BED). BED is a good diagnostic construct and a stable condition, associated with elevated psychiatric comorbidity and impairment in psychosocial functioning (Pope et al., 2006). The few available epidemiological studies in Italy suggest a lifetime prevalence of 0.64% for EDNOS (Favarelli et al., 2006), whereas in other samples lifetime estimated prevalences of sub-threshold BED and any binge eating are 0.72%, and 2.15% respectively (Preti et al., 2009). The comorbidity of BED and other psychiatric diagnoses is high: overall, 73.8% of patients with BED have one additional lifetime psychiatric disorder and 43.1% have at least one current psychiatric disorder (Javaras et al., 2008). Though often associated with obesity, BED should be considered a separate condition (Hudson et al., 2007). This disorder often goes undetected and untreated both in primary care and general psychiatric services (StriegelMoore et al., 2010). Mond et al. (2007) have shown that only a small percentage of subjects with BED (22.8%) receive a specific treatment for eating problems in primary care setting. In MHS, time constraints usually prevent clinicians from administering clinical interviews intended for EDs diagnosis. The utility of questionnaires as a screening for BED seem clear (Freitas et al., 2006). Among available tools, one of the most used and validated is the Binge Eating Scale questionnaire (Gormally et al., 1982). The main assumptions of this study were","PeriodicalId":72946,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiologia e psichiatria sociale","volume":"19 1","pages":"260 - 265"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S1121189X00001196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57442026","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They should be welcomed for their creativity, originality and productivity, not stigmatized in general as cheaters and criminals because a very few were tempted beyond their control to cut the slices a bit too thin, overdo the utilization of leftover data, listed too many authors to a paper, forgot to report a harmless study to an ethical committee, or in very few cases commit severe actions of fraud. The managerial way of thinking, meeting every author with systems of control and limitations is like poison to creative minds. Instead of appointing editors as policemen, we may preferably meet the vast majority of classical scholarly working scientists with trust, confidence and support, facilitating the process of disseminating the results from their creative minds – and of course consequently show the deliberately cheating researchers the door when they act unfaithfully to the scientific society.","PeriodicalId":72946,"journal":{"name":"Epidemiologia e psichiatria sociale","volume":"19 1","pages":"193 - 195"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1017/S1121189X00001081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"57441839","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Parental bonding and eating psychopathology in bulimia nervosa: personality traits as possible mediators","authors":"S. Fassino, F. Amianto, Giuseppe Rocca, G. Daga","doi":"10.1017/S1121189X00001147","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1017/S1121189X00001147","url":null,"abstract":"SUMMARY Aims – The relationship between eating disorders, attachment, personality traits and eating psychopathology remains unexplored. This study tested the mediating role of temperament and character between parental bonding and psy-chopathology in bulimic women. Methods – 154 bulimic subjects and 154 healthy controls were compared using Parental Bonding Instrument (PBI), Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI), Eating Disorder Inventory-2 (EDI-2), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Multiple regression analysis tested the mediation of personality traits between parenting and eating psy-chopathology. Results – Bulimic subjects displayed low maternal and paternal care and low self-directedness, and high novelty seeking and eating psychopathology. Maternal care was negatively related to social insecurity, inadequacy and impulsiveness. Paternal care predicted novelty seeking, self-directedness, interoceptive awareness, impulsiveness, and asceticism. The mediation effect of self-directedness between paternal care and psychopathology was significant, not the one of novelty seeking. Conclusions – Parental care is lower in bulimic than in control women even when controlled for possible confounding variables. Some eating psychopathology traits are related to maternal and paternal care, but not the bulimia subscale. Paternal care is also related to temperament and character traits which are related to eating psychopathology. Self-directedness mediates with different degrees between parenting and eating psychopathology. Clinical implications are discussed.
