Multi-family therapy for bulimia nervosa: a qualitative pilot study of adolescent and family members' experiences.

Background: Multi-family therapy (MFT-BN) is a new treatment for adolescent bulimia nervosa with emerging empirical support. It extends the bulimia nervosa focussed family therapy model, by offering treatment in a group setting. Up to nine families work together with a team of clinicians over the course of 20 weeks.

Multi-family therapy for bulimia nervosa in adolescence: a pilot study in a community eating disorder service.

Multi-family therapy for Bulimia Nervosa (MFT-BN) was developed in response to the modest outcomes following both Family Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy for adolescents with BN. BN impacts individuals and their family members with high levels of carer stress. MFT-BN targets barriers to treatment including low motivation to change, hostility and criticism, negative affect alongside emotion dysregulation and common comorbidities.

An experimental exploration of social problem solving and its associated processes in anorexia nervosa.

People with Anorexia Nervosa (AN) have well-documented socio-emotional and neurocognitive impairments. As yet, little is known about their ability to solve problems in social situations, although a link with cognitive avoidance has been suggested. This study explored social problem-solving (SPS), using an experimental task.

Evaluation of a cognitive remediation therapy group for adolescents with anorexia nervosa: pilot study.

Objective: Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) has been used with adults with anorexia nervosa (AN) in individual and group formats; however, evaluation of CRT with adolescents in this population is very limited.

Method: Seven CRT groups were carried out with a total of 30 adolescents with AN. Adolescents' cognitive flexibility and motivation was assessed before and after the group, and they completed qualitative questionnaires after the group to determine their perceptions.

Young people's perceptions of and reasons for accessing a web-based cognitive behavioural intervention for bulimia nervosa.

Objective: The aim of the present study was to explore young people's experience of accessing and utilising a web-based cognitive behavioural intervention for bulimic disorders.

Method: Young people (N = 11) with bulimia nervosa or atypical bulimia nervosa completed a qualitative interview. Interviews were analysed and themes were identified.

Attentional blink modulation during sustained and after discrete lead stimuli presented in three sensory modalities.

Previous studies found larger attentional modulation of acoustic blinks during task-relevant than during task-irrelevant acoustic or visual, but not tactile, lead stimuli. Moreover, blink modulation was larger overall during acoustic lead stimuli. The present experiment investigated whether these results reflect modality specificity of attentional blink modulation or effects of continuous stimulation.
