Fordham's concept of the "primary self" emphasises the unity between the body and emotional states in infancy. The self is expressed through actions that bring the infant into contact with the mother and the…

Roche, William J.; Petronchak, JoAnn; Eicher, Peggy S. – Exceptional Parent, 2008

The fetus "drinks" amniotic fluid as a way to filter fetal debris and to help maintain the amniotic fluid level for its mother. All this "swallowing practice" in utero enables the fetus to…

Didie, Elizabeth R.; Reinecke, Mark A.; Phillips, Katharine A. – Cognitive and Behavioral Practice, 2010
Body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and eating disorders often co-occur and share some clinical features.

Furthermore, clinical impressions suggest that this comorbidity may be more treatment resistant than either disorder alone. The…
