Les sites web dits « pro-ana », lieux de rencontres pour des personnes atteintes d’anorexie ou d’autres troubles alimentaires, sont accusés d’encourager à la maigreur extrême. Mais leurs auteurs, commentateurs et lecteurs ont longtemps échappé au regard, si bien que leurs motivations et interactions restaient opaques. Ce livre lève le voile sur ces internautes et leurs réseaux sociaux. Et si le « pro-ana » était moins un effet indésirable de la parole libérée sur internet que le symptôme des transformations actuelles de notre manière de vivre la santé ? Face aux coupes dans les dépenses de santé publique, les patients sont confrontés à l’injonction d’être actifs, informés, équipés. Mais la pression sociale qui en dérive peut engendrer des comportements paradoxaux et des prises de risque. L’étude que relate ce livre défie les idées reçues : en ligne, la valorisation de la maigreur est loin de faire l’unanimité, alors que se forment des réseaux d’entraide et d’information, visant à contrer l’isolement et à pallier les manques ressentis du système de soins.

Clinical psychology based on gender medicine is a core topic of this Special Issue. In general, consideration of women’s mental health is limited; however, it is important to consider subjective wellbeing factors connected with cultural, environmental, epigenetic and personality aspects. Many factors, such as the roles assigned to women nowadays in social and work contexts, can act as predisposing conditions in the etiology of the psychopathological frame, particularly affective disorders. Furthermore, in the developmental life of a woman, important risk factors can be highlighted, such as the vulnerability to psychological distress in women and couples. In particular, the topic addresses the individual maternal requirements for successful transition to healthy motherhood and innovative programs based on gender medicine in the life cycle considering student and elderly experiences. The connection of psychological vulnerability to the environment and repercussions for relationships have been studied in connection with the COVID-19 lockdown, induced changes in women’s psychological distress and research regarding sexual arousal, self-image and mental wellbeing. Psychological and emotional forms of violence in couples, such as IPV, is another point highlighting new trend of assessments (i.e., Intimate Partner Violence EAPA-P) and ad hoc treatment in emotional regulation and resilience. Psychological support for women is central to the prevention of psychopathology, especially in relation to subthreshold traits; finally, the topic offers an overview of ad hoc treatments in clinical contexts.
