In the majority of these patients, the disease remains confined to a limited number of joints (persistent oligoarticular JIA) and has a favorable outcome characterized by a high frequency of self-remission (as reviewed in [ 2]).
Finally, self-reported remission from depression will be assessed using the 41-item Remission of Depression Questionnaire (RDQ; [ 41]; Dutch translation: Peeters et al.: RDQ-NL, unpublished document) for which a high score is indicative for more psychopathology (range: 0 – 82).
Individuals self-reporting recurrent disease (OR 4.70, 95% CI 1.92 to 11.52) or those uncertain about their disease status (OR 2.51, 95% CI 1.27 to 4.96) were significantly more likely to report lower QoL scores compared with those self-reporting remission (table 4).
Bicking, 38, is a self-harmer in remission, pulling back from cutting her face and between her toes with razors to scratching.
General helpful factors for those in remission were 'Self-acceptance and compassion', 'Resolved relational problems' and 'Several therapies important'.

The experience of a caring relationship with the therapist was an important factor in gaining a better self-acceptance for those in remission.
