Exposure therapy in eating disorders revisited

Koskina, Antonia, Campbell, Iain C., Schmidt, Ulrike·2013·Neuroscience & Biobehavioral Reviews

Abstract

Exposure therapy is a widely used and effective form of treatment in anxiety disorders and addictions but evidence for its usefulness in eating disorders (ED) is inconsistent. This paper systematically reviews the literature on the use of exposure therapy in ED, the theory underpinning its use, and the deficits in current knowledge. Databases were searched to 2012. In addition, potential improvements in the use of exposure techniques in ED are considered by drawing upon theory and research involving neuropharmacology, basic and clinical neuroscience, contemporary behavioural and neurobiological research, and technologies such as virtual reality (VR).

  • Exposure therapy can also be relevant in the treatment of fears seen in anorexia nervosa.

    “Its effectiveness is primarily known from the treatment of anxiety disorders, but an emerging line of research shows that it can also be relevant in the treatment of fears seen in anorexia nervosa (e.g. [16, 25, 35–43].”
  • Exposure treatments should target a broad set of fears and also other emotions, like disgust.

    “Based on advances in research revealing the diversity of fears that play a role in eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, it has been suggested that exposure treatments should target a broad set of fears and also other emotions, like disgust [36, 53].”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
