Separation Anxiety: The Core of Attachment and Separation-Individuation

ABSTRACT This paper, written in honor of Anni Bergman, focuses on the concept of separation anxiety as it was conceptualized and developed in attachment theory by Bowlby and in separation-individuation theory by Mahler and colleagues. The focus is on how separation anxiety manifests differentially in individuals with secure versus insecure attachment and in different subphases of the separation-individuation process, with emphasis on the areas of overlap and divergence in the two traditions. The paper then reviews recent research that has focused on how separation anxiety has provided a transdiagnostic risk factor for psychopathology, including anxiety, depression, and PTSD, complicating the treatment course of individuals with these disorders. These findings have contributed to the delineation of the DSM-5 diagnosis of Separation Anxiety Disorder (SAD) and to the development of new assessment instruments to measure it. We consider how separation anxiety has been assessed in several treatment studies of these disorders and how it is related to other factors such as insecure attachment and reflective function (RF, mentalization in attachment relationships). The ways in which recent research on separation anxiety in individuals with psychopathology, including depression and PTSD, has affirmed and expanded the original formulations of Bowlby and Bergman and her colleagues is also discussed.

Development of dietary assessment instruments which can take cultural diversity and dietary acculturation into account: eating in Sweden (‘Mat i Sverige’)

Abstract Since lack of culture-specific foods in dietary assessment methods may bias reported dietary intake, we identified foods and dishes consumed by residents not born in Sweden and describe consequences for reported foods and nutrient intake using a culturally adapted dietary assessment method. Design consisted of cross-sectional data collection using (semi-)qualitative methods of dietary assessment (and national diet survey instrument RiksmatenFlex) with subsequent longitudinal data collection using quantitative methods for method comparison (December 2020–January 2023). Three community-based research groups were recruited that consisted of mothers born in Sweden, Syria/Iraq, and Somalia, with a median age of 34, 37, and 36 years, respectively. Women born in Syria/Iraq and Somalia who had lived in Sweden for approximately 10 years, reported 78 foods to be added to RiksmatenFlex. In a subsequent study phase, 69% of these foods were reported by around 90% of the ethnic minority groups and contributed to 17% of their reported energy intake. However, differences between the three study groups in median self-reported energy intake remained (Sweden 7.19 MJ, Syria/Iraq 5.54 MJ, and Somalia 5.69 MJ). The groups also showed differences in relative energy contribution from fats and carbohydrates, as well as differences in energy intake from food groups such as bread and sweet snacks. We conclude that a dietary assessment instrument containing culture-specific foods could not resolve group differences in reported energy intake, although these foods provided content validity and contributed 17% of energy intake. The dietary habits collected in this study serve to develop new dietary assessment instruments.
