Selflessness as a predictor of remission from an eating disorder: 1-4 year outcomes from an adolescent day-care unit.

CONCLUSIONS: Psychological features are not the main target of the important search for predictors of remission from ED. The findings of the present study add the psychological feature of selflessness to this search. Psychotherapy can be enriched by identifying psychological features such as selflessness as one of its foci. The present findings might also renew interest in maturity fears as an additional focus in psychotherapy. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level III, cohort study.
