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...

Cognitive restraint, uncontrolled eating, and emotional eating. The Italian version of the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire-Revised 18 (TFEQ-R-18): a three-step validation study
CONCLUSION: The TFEQ-R-18 proves to be a concise and precise tool for measuring transdiagnostic eating behaviors. Its applicability in the Italian context, supported by robust psychometric properties, suggests its utility for both research and clinical purposes. The findings affirm its potential to inform interventions aimed at enhancing psychological health.LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level V, descriptive study.PMID:38402372 | DOI:10.1007/s40519-024-01642-y (Source: Eating and weight disorders : EWD)

There is nothing as inconsistent as the OSFED diagnostic criteria
Trends Mol Med. 2024 Feb 22:S1471-4914(24)00006-6. doi: 10.1016/j.molmed.2024.01.006. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAtypical anorexia nervosa (AAN), purging disorder (PD), night eating syndrome (NES), and subthreshold bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder (Sub-BN/BED) are the five categories that comprise the 'Other Specified Feeding or Eating Disorder' (OSFED) category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual for Mental Disorders (DSM-5). In this review, we examine problems with the diagnostic criteria that are currently proposed for the five OSFED types. We conclude that the existing diagnostic criteria for OSFED are...

Views of German mental health professionals on the use of digital mental health interventions for eating disorders: a qualitative interview study
ConclusionsMental health professionals for EDs show positive attitudes towards DMHIs, however many barriers to the integration in routine care were observed. The highest potential was seen for the use of DMHIs in addition to outpatient care and in aftercare. Specific requirements for DMHIs are related to different areas of the healthcare spectrum and for the different symptom profiles in anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder. Targeted DMHIs are needed and appropriate especially for concepts of blended care. (Source: Journal of Eating Disorders)

Appetitive Traits in Children May Be Associated With Disordered Eating in Adolescence
Children who show greater food responsiveness in early childhood have a higher risk of experiencing eating disorder symptoms in early adolescence, while those who eat more slowly have a lower risk of such symptoms, according to astudy published this week inThe Lancet Child& Adolescent Health.“Eating disorders frequently coexist with other psychiatric disorders and have high mortality rates,” wrote Ivonne Derks, Ph.D., of Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, Netherlands, and colleagues. “Because these disorders are difficult to treat, focus is shifting towards prevention and early intervention when symptoms or epi...
