The bond with healthcare services is a crucial dimension in facilitating the maternal journey of lesbian and bisexual women couples. This study aimed to analyze the culturally constructed meanings regarding the bond with healthcare services and professionals by lesbian and bisexual women who experienced dual motherhood. It is a qualitative investigation grounded in interpretative anthropology. The research corpus was built based on in-depth interviews with 10 lesbian and bisexual women, aged 30 to 39 years. The results indicate that access to parenthood, until its realization, involved a journey permeated by satisfactions and sufferings triggered by failed attempts and gestational losses. Challenges experienced in healthcare provision were also reported due to prejudices, lack of empathy, and unpreparedness of professionals in dealing with prenatal care for lesbian and bisexual women couples. Manifestations of discrimination were more pronounced concerning non-gestational mothers. The findings offer insights into implementing policies that prioritize humanization and planning programs and healthcare services based on culturally sensitive care for lesbian and bisexual women couples as they transition into dual motherhood.

Objetivo: evaluar el uso de sustancias y la salud mental de los camioneros brasileños, y cómo estos impactan en sus comportamientos relacionados con la conducción. Métodos: estudio transversal realizado con 235 camioneros en Brasil. Resultados: Los conductores que condujeron después de beber eran fumadores, sufrieron agresiones y experimentaron ansiedad. Las fallas en la conducción se asociaron con la conducción después de beber y han sufrido agresiones. Los errores se asociaron con la alteración del sueño y la participación en accidentes que tuvieron víctimas. Las infracciones fueron mayores entre quienes condujeron después de beber, consumieron drogas, tenían ansiedad y problemas de sueño. Conclusión: El uso de sustancias, la salud mental, la somnolencia y la violencia están interrelacionados para los camioneros brasileños. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Bullying at school affects the health and development of children and adolescents. This study aimed to describe evidence about the characteristics of boys and girls identified as bullies in bullying situations. This is a review of publications from 2015 to 2020, operationalized in SciELO, Scopus, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. Data were independently extracted by two reviewers and submitted to methodological quality assessment. The corpus was composed of 27 primary studies. It was found that boys do more bullying and are more engaged in physical aggression. Girls engage more in verbal or psychological type violence. Social/cultural issues are factors consistently associated with such differences. Regarding the consequences of the aggression perpetrated, bullies, regardless of gender, may also have mental health problems. This study gathers quantitative evidence on the characteristics of boys and girls who engage in bullying at school. Differences/similarities should be considered in anti-bullying intervention programs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

There is still little knowledge about the role of friendship within the social support network in eating disorders (EDs). This integrative review aimed to analyze the scientific production about friendship relationships in people with EDs. The literature review was conducted using the PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and EMBASE databases in the period from 2010 to 2020. Among the 1126 articles retrieved, 15 met the eligibility criteria, most with a qualitative approach and cross-sectional design, without indicating a theoretical framework. The qualitative aspects of friendship were associated with a reduced frequency and intensity of symptoms when the bond was considered to be of good quality. On the other hand, friendships that involved derogatory comments and negative influences related to body image and eating habits emerged as potential risk factors for triggering disorders. Investing in the quality of peer relationships can contribute to strengthening the social safety net and reducing the psychosocial vulnerability of adolescents at higher risk for developing EDs.

This study aimed to identify, analyze, and integrate findings from studies that examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental health of transgender and transvestite individuals. An integrative literature review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. A systematic search of primary studies was conducted across three databases: PubMed/MEDLINE, LILACS, and PsycINFO. Eight studies that met the inclusion criteria were included. Thematic analysis of the material generated six thematic categories. The studies analyzed pointed out that the situation of social vulnerability faced by trans people in their daily lives intensified during the pandemic. The need for physical distancing led to increased symptoms of anxiety and depression, worsening economic conditions, and difficulties in accessing procedures and medications that make up the gender affirmation process, in addition to exacerbating family conflicts and manifestations of transphobia. Therefore, there is a need to implement public policies and a social protection network to reduce the vulnerability and psychosocial suffering of the transgender and transvestite community.

Psychoanalytic theory postulates that the emotional foundations of eating disorders (EDs) rest in the early mother-daughter relationship. This qualitative study aimed to investigate the meanings attributed by mothers of patients with anorexia and bulimia to the experiences of pregnancy, childbirth, puerperium, and basic care provided to their daughters in the first years of life. Participants included 7 mothers whose daughters were being treated in a specialized service for EDs. Data were collected by open interviews and organized into categories according to reflexive thematic analysis. Results were discussed in light of Winnicott's Theory of Human Maturation. The experiences related to motherhood and maternal care were marked by frustrations and negative emotions, with few memories of rewarding experiences with the assumption of the maternal role. The potential repercussions arising from the non-elaboration of intergenerational conflicts inherited and transmitted without transformation by mothers were discussed. These implications could potentially hinder the emotional maturation of daughters, establishing a close relation with the symptoms of EDs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Long-term relationships can be shaped by moments considered remarkable. Such experiences are an important reference to understand the satisfaction with the ways to build marital bonds. The aim of this study was to understand how couples engaged in long-term relationships perceive the "best" and "worst" moments experienced in conjugality. Twenty five heterosexual couples, united for 39.5 years on average, were interviewed. The transcribed interviews were subjected to thematic-reflective analysis. The experience of parenting and family life were identified as the best moments and, as worst experiences, facing the illness or death of a family member and financial difficulties. It is concluded that, for the couples interviewed, family life and parental care are perceived as determinants of marital satisfaction. Marital relationships tend to be classified dichotomously, as good or bad, based on punctual facts that elicit satisfaction or dissatisfaction with the relationship, without considering that the romantic bond is dynamic and therefore sensitive to better and worse moments.

Unlike the mother-daughter bond, the father-daughter relationship has received little attention in eating disorders (ED). This study with clinical-qualitative method aimed to understand how parents of young people with ED experienced the bonds with their parental figures during childhood/adolescence and, later, with their wives and daughters. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with five parents whose daughters were in treatment. The results were analyzed using the Clinical-Qualitative Content Analysis and the Psychoanalysis of Linking Configurations. The fatherdaughter relationship was marked by affective closeness in childhood, although with little involvement in caregiving tasks. The affective distancing, starting in the daughter's pubertal period, contributed to weaken the paternal bond. The results provide subsidies for the inclusion of fathers in the treatment.

The aim of this theoretical study is to problematize how misogynistic and anti-feminist discourses are produced and disseminated in the contemporary digital world. The concept of hegemonic masculinity is brought up to problematize the discursive formations that materialize through ideas imported from foreign sites in Brazilian digital platforms. We highlight the current misogynistic discourse in forums aligned to the new right (alt-right), which has taken shelter under the umbrella term manosphere ("male sphere"), a set of online pages and social networks connected by their "ultramasculine" content. We identify an allegorical device - the Red Pill, adopted in the manosphere to name the process by which men/users finally become aware of the "reality" of the "feminist dictatorship" that subjugates heterosexual masculinity. Supported by the theoretical framework of gender studies and cultural studies we propose to understand this phenomenon out of the analysis of text messages and posts extracted from the digital universe that seek to delimit the "truly man" to the detriment of submissive masculinities (beta, as the non-dominant ones are called). We conclude that misogynistic discursive flows find a fertile ground to proliferate in the digital world, engendering discursive practices that converge to reinforce male domination.

The search for new paradigms and epistemologies that meet the demands of different ethnic-cultural groups has been a growing trend in the field of Psychology. The use of hegemonic universalizing theories that for so long dominated Science, disregarding the influence of religion and spirituality on the cognitions, emotions, and behaviors of the individual, creates the need for new epistemological proposals in order to encompass such singularities. The inclusion of religiosity/spirituality (R/S) in therapeutic practices and interventions has been encouraged by the positive results described in the literature, both in the physical and psychological spheres, inspiring the continuous expansion of knowledge in this field. This scenario opens space for the combination of different knowledge in a multidisciplinary perspective, among which Islamic psychology has stood out. This is a literature review that aims to present the bases, landmarks, and elements that contributed to some of the Islamic Psychology theoretical models, discussing the advances and challenges faced in this field of study. In view of this, it is concluded that, although religious knowledge does not offer answers to all the questions of psychological science, it adds information that can contribute to a better comprehension of the human psyche and the study of the soul. Despite being a little-explored field in current Science, Islamic psychology is an epistemology that has its roots in ancient Islamic religious and philosophical knowledge, having as the main proposal the construction of a holistic approach to the human psyche that integrates the physical, mental and spiritual dimensions.

The prolonged exposure to digital media has been associated with the development of changes in eating behavior, through the internalization of idealized leanness patterns. This study aimed to investigate the perception of people diagnosed with eating disorders about the influence of access to virtual social networks on the precipitation and/or maintenance of their symptoms. Six women and one man, diagnosed with anorexia nervosa, participated in the study. They were being treated in a specialized service of a university hospital in a municipality in Brazil (Ribeirão Preto). A semi-structured interview script was used, applied individually and audiotaped. The data were transcribed and organized into three thematic categories: Emotional reverberations of indiscriminate access to online content; Awareness of the pernicious influence of the media; Internet as a privileged source of access to information of doubtful quality. Analyzed with the support of specific literature in the area, the results indicated that social networks stimulate the obsessive search for an idealized body, associating it with obtaining happiness and personal satisfaction under the aegis of individualism. The findings are expected to encourage a critical look at the contents indiscriminately disseminated in the virtual universe. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In the early stages of emotional development, the mother can reach such a heightened level of sensitivity that she can adapt to the baby's primary needs. This special maternal state often serves as an inspiration for artistic production when the artist's aesthetic experience is put at the service of his creative power, which is embodied in the creative act. Based on these premises, this study aims to illustrate the singularities of the mother-infant relationship in the beginnings of emotional development through the reading of the work of art through the vertex of Winnicott's psychoanalytic theory, considering the place that art can have in human life. Five sculptures by artist Felícia Leirner compose the corpus of analysis. These works of art metaphorize the development path of the relationship between mother, father, and baby in the wake of the temporal flow that characterizes the first months of development. We also identified in artistic objects the relevance of the environment in the initial stage as a platform for healthy emotional growth throughout life. Instead of using psychoanalytic understanding for the exegesis of artistic work, we propose the inverse movement, in which it is the work that contributes to illuminating psychoanalytic thinking, highlighting nuances that can enrich the understanding of one of the founding themes of Winnicottian theory, child emotional development, suggesting new possibilities of approximation between psychoanalysis and art.

Family relationships seem to have relevant contribution to the etiopathogenesis of Eating Disorders (EDs). This study aimed to analyze the scientific production about the paternity and parenting experiences of fathers whose daughters developed EDs. The literature review was conducted through the databases LILACS, PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science and EMBASE, in the period from 1999 to 2019. From the 878 retrieved papers, 23 were selected for the analysis. The results show that paternity and parenting experiences are influenced by father's personality traits. The dominant representation is of an affectionless and not empathetic father, as well as punitive and insensitive to the daughter's emotional needs. Knowing the paternal experiences is central to subside sensible care to both, daughters' and fathers' demands. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
