Support was found for the efficacy and effectiveness of CBT-E for the full spectrum of eating disorders, with respect to reducing eating disorder behaviors and core psychopathology.
Results suggest that adolescents with BN who are more motivated to change OC-ED behaviours at the start of treatment, FBT-BN or CBT-A, are more likely to demonstrate improvements in cognitions, but not behaviours associated with EDs, at treatment conclusion.
Mood intolerance, a maintenance factor of BN but external to eating disorder pathological features (typically addressed within CBT), emerged as the primary clinical variable distinguishing the severity groups showing a differential treatment response.
The results provide preliminary support for Internet-based, tailored, and ACT-influenced treatment, based on CBT for participants with eating disorder psychopathology.
The association between change in body checking and the trajectories of change of eating disorder psychopathology supports the potential usefulness of the CBT-E strategy for reducing shape and weight concerns by addressing body checking.
A transdiagnostic sample of individuals with eating disorders with a BMI ≥ 18 kg/m<sup>2</sup> (N = 40) were randomized to an immediate-start or delayed-start condition so as to compare therapeutic effects of group CBT-E with a waitlist control.
