Family Enmeshment

Social anxiety is associated with significant functional impairment and poor quality of life. However, there is a paucity of research on how early childhood and family dynamics may be related to social anxiety and its impact on quality of life. We investigated the role of enmeshment schemas, cognitive structures associated with emotional over-involvement with and lack of differentiation from family. Enmeshment is associated with considerable functional impairment, including elevated anxiety and depression and impaired relationship satisfaction. As enmeshment schemas predict withdrawal from stressful social interactions, they may facilitate the development of social anxiety and, through that mechanism, lead to reduced quality of life. Participants completed measures of these constructs. Social anxiety mediated the negative association between enmeshment and quality of life, particularly within the domains of personal growth, social functioning, and achievement. Implications for novel etiological conceptualizations of social anxiety and subsequent treatment interventions are discussed.

Early Indicators

This paper reports a comparison of pediatricians' and psychiatrists' opinions about screening for children and adolescents at risk for self-destruction. Fifty-nine percent of the members of the Nebraska Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics and 69% of the members of the Nebraska District Branch of the American Psychiatric Association completed questionnaires containing selected early indicators for self-destruction and programs for suicide prevention. Principal findings were that pediatricians placed less emphasis than child psychiatrists on major depressive disorder, younger pediatricians placed more emphasis than psychiatrists on psychosocial indicators, physicians from both groups said they usually hospitalize attention-seeking self-destructive children, and pediatricians from smaller communities expressed less confidence in referral to psychiatrists but more confidence in community-based programs. Findings suggest that a small group of children and adolescents at risk for eventual suicide may not be identified as early as the more obvious larger groups of individuals who are accident prone, who ingest toxic substances, and who come from violent families. General indicators of risk for self-destruction include substance abuse, psychosocial problems, and minor depression. Factors indicating more specific risk for suicide include escalating stress, family enmeshment, and major mental illness, particularly major depressive disorder. Postgraduate education, instruments for discriminate screening, and balanced programs for suicide prevention are suggested to improve care.
