Expressed emotion and early treatment response in family-based treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa
This study examined the effect of pre-treatment levels of parental expressed emotion (EE) on early treatment response for adolescent anorexia nervosa (AN). Data were collected from 121 adolescents, ages 12-18, who met DSM-IV criteria for AN excluding the amenorrhea criterion, and their parents. Participants were randomized to family-based treatment (FBT) or adolescent-focused therapy (AFT). To examine the effects of different thresholds of EE, we used two different levels of EE in analyses. Results demonstrated that adolescents who had at least one parent with elevated EE indicated by a lower threshold (i.e. even mild leve...

Ayahuasca ceremony leaders' perspectives on special considerations for eating disorders
This study explored the perspectives of ayahuasca ceremony leaders on these and other considerations for ceremonial ayahuasca drinking among individuals with EDs.

Eat Disord. 2023 Oct 4:1-17. doi: 10.1080/10640266.2023.2259682. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUsing a male eating disorder (ED) sample, this study assessed the clinical utility of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders-5 (DSM-5) severity indices for males with anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN) and compared it to an alternative transdiagnostic severity categorisation based on drive for thinness (DT). The participants included 143 males with an ED (60 [42.0%] AN and 83 [58.0%] BN) diagnosis, who were classified using these two severity classifications. The different severity categories were t...
