This study explored how practicing psychologists make sense of the athletic-body ideal when internalised by their clients. Utilising a grounded theory approach, we interviewed a purposive sample of nine psychologists to explore their understanding of the athletic-body ideal, with a specific focus on diagnostic classification and treatment. Following grounded theory analysis, results indicated the psychologists tended to associate the athletic-body ideal pursuit with positive psychological and physical benefits when it encompasses balance and flexibility. They also perceived healthy or protective factors inherent in the pursuit of the athletic-body ideal. However, the psychologists perceived that when the pursuit is obsessive-compulsive and rigid, functioning will be compromised. Moreover, the psychologists associated eating disorders (such as restrictive eating) and compulsive exercise with pathological athletic-body ideal pursuits. These findings suggest complexity in athletic-body ideal presentation across the languishing and flourishing continuum.

练习心理学家对运动体理想内部化的理解:分类和治疗的含义

这项研究探索了当被客户内化时,练习心理学家如何理解运动身体的理想。利用扎根的理论方法,我们采访了九位心理学家的有针对性的样本,以探讨他们对运动体理想的理解,特别关注诊断分类和治疗。根据扎根的理论分析,结果表明,心理学家倾向于将运动型理想追求与积极的心理和生理益处联系起来,因为它包含了平衡性和灵活性。他们还意识到追求运动体理想所固有的健康或保护因素。然而,心理学家认为,如果追求是强迫性的和僵化的,功能就会受到损害。此外,心理学家将饮食失调(例如限制性饮食)和强迫运动与病理性运动身体理想追求联系起来。这些发现表明,在蓬勃发展和繁荣的整个连续过程中,理想的运动身体呈现方式是复杂的。
