| Classification of the child's attachment behaviour to mother Method: Strange-Situation-Test (Ainsworth, Blehar, Waters, & Wall, 1978) with mother and child in the 12th month old child. Possible classifications: secure attachment, anxious-ambivalent attachment, anxious-avoidant attachment, disorganized/disoriented attachment To record the specific psychopathology of eating disorders in adults. Method: Eating Disorder Examination Questionnaire (EDE-Q; Hilbert & Tuschen-Caffier, 2006), 17+Pregorexia-Index (P17I; Herrmann, 2017) The mother's attachment representation is recorded with the established Adult Attachment Interview, AAI, (George, Kaplan, & Main, 1985), which retrospectively collects early experiences with important bond persons and current attitudes towards the bond in an approximately one-hour, partially standardized interview. Measurement of ketone bodies in the mother's breath using the keton-breathalyzer (Ketonix, 2018). Due to the limited glucose uptake of the eating disordered mother, more fat is converted into ketone bodies by the liver, this process controls the weight loss of the mother and is also found in mothers with diabetes (Bronisz, Ozorowski, & Hagner-Derengowska, 2018). | — |
