Facing Eating Disorder Fears: An Open Trial Adapting Prolonged Exposure to the Treatment of Eating Disorders
Behav Ther. 2024 Mar;55(2):347-360. doi: 10.1016/j.beth.2023.07.008. Epub 2023 Jul 22.ABSTRACTEating disorders (EDs) are maintained by core fears, which lead to avoidance behaviors, such as food avoidance or compensatory behaviors. Previously tested exposure-based treatments for EDs have generally focused on proximal outcomes (e.g., food), rather than addressing core fears (e.g., fear of weight gain and its consequences). The current study tested the feasibility and initial clinical efficacy of 10 sessions of imaginal and in vivo exposure for core ED fears (termed "Facing Eating Disorder Fears"), mainly fear of weight gain...

Neurodevelopmental Sequalae of Anorexia Nervosa
Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe mental illness with substantial morbidity and mortality. The central, salient disturbance in AN is restriction of food intake, leading to inappropriately low body weight. Onset of illness is most common during mid-adolescence, and approximately 1% of females are affected over a lifetime, across all socioeconomic classes.1 Despite advancements in treatment for adolescents with AN, remission rates remain disappointing – less than 50% of teens typically respond to initial treatment.
