Abstract

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is the leading evidence-based treatment for bulimia nervosa. A new "enhanced" version of the treatment appears to be more potent and has the added advantage of being suitable for all eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and eating disorder not otherwise specified. This article reviews the evidence supporting CBT in the treatment of eating disorders and provides an account of the "transdiagnostic" theory that underpins the enhanced form of the treatment. It ends with an outline of the treatment's main strategies and procedures.

  • Cognitive behavioral therapy is an effective treatment for eating disorders.

    “Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is an effective treatment for eating disorders (Hay et al., 2014; Murphy, Straebler, Cooper, & Fairburn, 2010; NICE, 2017).”
  • Real-time self-monitoring around eating, related behaviors, and feelings is a particularly relevant process.

    “One particularly relevant process has been called 'real-time self-monitoring' around eating, related behaviors, and feelings [12].”

    From Food and Mood: Just-in-Time Support for Emotional Eating (2013) · cites this paper as [12]

  • Monitoring helps patients be more aware of what is happening in the moment so that they can begin to make changes to behavior that may have seemed automatic or beyond their control.

    “The rationale for the criticality of monitoring is that 'it helps patients to be more aware of what is happening in the moment so that they can begin to make changes to behavior that may have seemed automatic or beyond their control' [12].”

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.
