Dissertation Am I Ugly Or Do I Have Bdd? DISSERTATION AM I UGLY OR DO I HAVE BDD?: PERSONAL DISCLOSURE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT ON A BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER ONLINE FORUM Submitted by Eva E. Fisher Department of Journalism and Media Communication In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Colorado State University Fort Collins, Colorado Summer 2016 Doctoral Committee: Advisor: Kirk Hallahan Donna Rouner Marilee Long Jennifer Ogle Elizabeth Williams Copyright by Eva E. Fisher 2016 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT AM I UGLY OR DO I HAVE BDD?: PERSONAL DISCLOSURE AND SOCIAL SUPPORT ON A BODY DYSMORPHIC DISORDER ONLINE FORUM The current study used an emergent research design that employed qualitative content analysis to understand how individuals with body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) communicate with their peers in an online support forum (psychforum.com/body-dysmorphic-disorder). The purpose was to explore (a) the communication activities on the forum, (b) the personal experiences with BDD disclosed by participants, (c) the categories of social support sought and shared, and (d) the social support provided and roles performed by the most frequent posters to the forum. The data sample consisted of 911 messages posted by 225 participants during 2012. The primary communication activities on the forum were asking about other members’ personal experiences and seeking support, disclosing personal experiences and providing support, engaging in conversations, and storytelling. Personal disclosures included appearance concerns (feeling ugly, depressed, guilty, ashamed, angry, and suicidal), compulsive behaviors (plastic surgery, mirror/photograph checking, and social comparison), the impact on one’s personal life, and recovery from BDD (treatment, diagnosis, coping, and overcoming symptoms). Social support sought and shared included informational, emotional, and social network support. Informational support topics included diagnosis, treatment, overcoming symptoms, and recovery. Emotional support took the form of empathy, caring/concern, gratitude, encouragement, sympathy, compliments, and validation. Social network support reinforced that people who understand the disorder were present on the forum and could provide companionship. Although not common, unsupportive comments (disagreement, disapproval, criticism/sarcasm, and flaming) were also present. The five most frequent posters were emergent leaders whose supportive roles supplemented those of the two forum moderators. The most frequent poster was a male who played a lead role in providing ii informational and social network support, along with four frequent female posters whose primary contribution was providing emotional support. The five emergent leaders and moderators also performed functional roles, including greeter, advocate, arbiter, mediator/harmonizer, corroborator/validator, information/opinion giver, evaluator/critic, and encourager/cheerleader, that were critical to the successful functioning of the forum. The study discusses five key conclusions (themes) that offer valuable insight into how members communicated on the forum: (a) personal disclosure facilitated social support in initial posts and responses, (b) group members served primarily as support providers or support seekers whose behaviors were complementary and essential to the successful functioning of the forum, (c) contributions to the forum varied by gender with females providing more personal disclosure and social support than males, (d) the forum served as a coping mechanism where members shared coping strategies and coping assistance, and (e) the forum offered members peer support within an online community that supplemented the support received from other online and in-person sources. The study underscores the growing importance of peer-to-peer communication and contributes to the limited research on online support groups for individuals coping with serious mental illness. As a result of this investigation, health communication scholars will have an increased understanding of why individuals with stigmatized health conditions turn to their peers to find the support they need online. In addition, this study provides BDD researchers and clinicians with an increased awareness about the resources and support needed by those suffering from the disorder. iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I would like to thank my adviser Dr. Kirk Hallahan, and my dissertation committee members, Dr. Marilee Long, Dr. Donna Rouner, Dr. Jennifer Ogle, and Dr. Elizabeth Williams for their guidance, assistance, and encouragement during this research project. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude and appreciation to the faculty members in the Department of Journalism and Technical Communication at Colorado State University. Thank you for your support, for your valuable instruction throughout the graduate program, and for serving as role models for me to follow my dream of receiving my Ph.D. I would also like to thank my fellow Ph.D. students in the department who provided mutual support to one another during graduate school. I would like to acknowledge Stephanie Ashley and Caitlin Evans Wagner who served as coders for the reliability tests for the study. Your patience with the process of training, coding, and providing feedback on the coding guide helped make the project successful. Many thanks are due to Douglas Stansberry for his love and support during the dissertation research and writing process. I would also like to express my gratitude to my family and friends who were always available to provide encouragement when needed. Finally, I wish to thank my parents who passed away in 2000 for providing guidance and support as I pursued each of my previous career goals. I know that by receiving my Ph.D. in Public Communication and Technology, I would have made them both proud. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT .................................................................................................................................................. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ......................................................................................................................... iv LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................................................... ix LIST OF FIGURES ...................................................................................................................................... x CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION ................................................................................................................. 1 Serious Mental Illness and BDD ................................................................................................................... 2 Body Dysmorphic Disorder ............................................................................................................. 4 Communication about BDD ............................................................................................................ 7 Purpose of the Study ..................................................................................................................................... 8 Background: Health Communication with Providers and Peers ................................................................... 9 Patient-Provider Health Communication ....................................................................................... 10 Peer-to-Peer Health Communication ............................................................................................. 11 Motivations for Using Online Health Communication .................................................................. 13 Significance of the Study ............................................................................................................................ 15 Dissertation Overview ................................................................................................................................ 15 CHAPTER 2: LITERATURE REVIEW AND RESEARCH QUESTIONS.............................................. 17 Personal Disclosure ..................................................................................................................................... 17 Social Support ............................................................................................................................................. 19 Social Support by Males and Females ........................................................................................... 21 Categories of Social Support ......................................................................................................... 22 Online versus Offline Support Groups........................................................................................................ 24 Offline Support Groups.................................................................................................................. 24 Online Support Groups .................................................................................................................. 25 Research Questions ..................................................................................................................................... 28 v Communication Activities on the BDD Forum ............................................................................. 28 Personal Disclosure on the BDD Forum ........................................................................................ 29 Social Support on the BDD Forum ...............................................................................................

Thinking that he had epilepsy and that it would be a huge embarrassment to his alma mater, Yale, and a burden to his family, Beers attempted suicide by jumping out of a window hoping to die on the pavement below. His attempt failed to end his life but broke his body and his spirit further landing him in a sanitarium. The attendants at the institution were perhaps underqualified or just working a job for a paycheck, at any rate they were brusque and inattentive.

  • Chloë Taylor: You Begin Your Article, “Diagnosing Culture: Body
    Between Disciplinary Power and Care of the Self: A Dialogue on Foucault and the Psychological Sciences CRESSIDA J. HEYES AND CHLOË TAYLOR Cressida Heyes is Professor of Philosophy and Canada Research Chair in Philosophy of Gender and Sexuality at the University of Alberta. She is the author of Line Drawings: Defining Women through Feminist Practice (Cornell University Press, 2000), and of Self-Transformations: Foucault, Ethics, and Normalized Bodies (Oxford University Press, 2007). Her latest work addresses how sex and gender norms are rewritten as normal and abnormal states of mental health, and the body as a site and expression of freedom. Chloë Taylor is Assistant Professor of Philosophy at the University of Alberta. She is the author of The Culture of Confession from Augustine to Foucault (Routledge, 2009). Her two current projects explore sexual crime and prohibitions, and dietary normalization, from feminist and Foucauldian perspectives. This dialogue emerges from a shared curiosity about Foucault’s hostile relationship to the psy disciplines, and how the content and method of his critique might be mutually informed by feminist theory. CT: You describe your article, “Diagnosing Culture: Body Dysmorphic Disorder and Cosmetic Surgery,” as “part of a scholarly trend that aims both to historicize psychiatry‟s more essentialist claims and to challenge the contemporary pathologization of individuals and the depoliticization of medical practice” (78). You begin this paper by citing Susan Bordo‟s description of psychopathology as the “crystallization of culture” and relate this statement to a Foucauldian point about the relation between the normal and the abnormal. Can you explain how you see Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) as a symptom of our culture as well as the relation between this abnormal condition and what you call at one point in the article a “norm of femininity”?

  • Vicarious Trauma and First Responders: a Case Study Utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) As the Primary Treatment Modality
    International Journal of Emergency Mental Health, Vol. 9, No. 4, pp. 291-298 C 2008 Chevron Publishing ISSN 1522-4821 Vicarious Trauma and First Responders: A Case Study Utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as the Primary Treatment Modality Paul.Keenan LizRoyle Edge Hill University Pathways Through Trauma Abstract: Traumatic events can occur and adversely affect people during their lifetime. Natural disasters such as the earthquake in Pakistan in 2005 or the Tsunami in Asia in 2004, terrorist atrocities around the world, or personal events such as physical or sexual assault, can result in psychological difficulties for those people directly affected by these events. The diagnostic term Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD; Diagnostic and Statistical Manual ofMental Disorders, 4th edition, DSM IV, 1994) is generally used to explain the often-severe psychological sequalae (van der Kolk, 1996; Servan-Schreiber, 2004; Shapiro, 1995) that people may exhibit when directly affected by trauma. However, what ofthose people not directly involved in the trauma, but those who have borne witness to it, either by listening to the stories of survivors, or in the case of the helping professionals (such as police officers, nurses, doctors, psychotherapists, fire-fighters), actively working with survivors in psychological distress? This paper examines the potential psychological consequences for those in helping professions who are working with traumatized clients. This paper then focuses on a specific treatment intervention, EMDR, utilizing a case study by way ofexplanation.[International Journal ofEmergency Mental Health, 2007, 9(4), pp. 291-298]. Key words: vicarious trauma, EMDR, helping professionals, police officers, cognitive schemas, stigma Paul Keenan MSc.

This is particularly true for lay counselors who provide mental health services. This study sought to understand lay counselor experiences through the lens of identity, stress, motivation, burnout, and self-efficacy. Semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions were conducted with three groups of lay counselors with varying levels of counseling experience from a family therapy program in Eldoret, Kenya. Using thematic analysis, emergent themes were explored to characterize counselor experiences and inform task shifting implementation improvements.
