When am I right? Prevention of eating disorders.

Pichlhöfer, Christine (2018) · Journal of Psychodrama and Sociometry, Springer

This publication addresses the prevention of eating disorders in the field of tension between self-image, body perception and societal norms. Within a heteronormative society, expectations of body optimization go far beyond food restriction. Through the avoidance of certain food categories, new forms of belonging are negotiated. Sociocultural and media-driven influencing factors are identified in order to make societal dynamics visible and open to change.

Dynamics in the relationship of co-dependent and person with dependent personality disorder

Pichlhöfer, Christine (2013) · Journal of Psychodrama and Sociometry, Springer

The article examines similarities and differences in relationship patterns between co-dependent individuals and individuals with dependent personality disorder. Both are forms of relational disturbance, so-called closeness disorders. “I know what is good for you!” is a typical statement of a co-dependent person, whereas a person with dependent personality disorder is more likely to express: “You know what is good for me!”
