Eating disorder recovery is a complex phenomenon. While historical understandings focused on weight and behaviours, the importance of psychological factors is now widely recognized. It is also generally accepted that recovery is a non-linear process and is impacted by external factors.

View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: There has recently been a push for recovery-focused research in the eating disorder (ED) field, starting with a consensus definition of recovery. One definition, in particular, proposed by Bardone-Cone et al. [21] has received considerable attention given its transdiagnostic nature and validation studies.

Method: Seventy-one participants who met diagnostic criteria for BED based on Eating Disorder Examination (EDE) interview were randomly assigned to DBT-GSH, DBT-USH or active control USH for 12 weeks. Assessments took place at baseline, 12 weeks and 3-month follow-up.
Binge-eating disorder (BED) is a prevalent and serious public health issue. BED is characterized by recurrent out-of-control binge eating episodes in the absence of extreme weight control behavior and is associated with significant psychosocial and physiological impairment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), based on the affect regulation model of binge eating, is an evidence-based treatment (EBT) approach for BED.

Studies indicate that the association between BED and HRQL is largely accounted for by psychopathology (e.g.

Long-term maintenance of weight loss requires sustained changes in food-intake and energy-expenditure strategies, which are unfortunately often taxing, resulting in a return to predieting weight. Therefore, drug therapies may facilitate greater adherence to a restricted diet and prolong weight loss.

Moreover, few studies have examined NU and PU in binge eating disorder (BED). The present study examined Whiteside and Lynam's (2001) five facets of impulsivity (including NU and PU) in individuals with BED and a control group with no history of an eating disorder (NED).

However, this construct has been differentially defined in the literature even when using the same measure. Here we compare two cut-offs that have previously been used to differentiate clinical and subthreshold overvaluation using the EDE-Q.

Objective: The emotion regulation (ER) model of binge eating posits that individuals with binge-eating disorder (BED) experience more intense emotions and greater difficulties in ER than individuals without BED, leading them to binge eat as a means of regulating emotions. According to this model, individuals with BED should report greater difficulties in ER than their non-BED counterparts, the severity of these difficulties should be positively associated with BED symptoms, and this association should be stronger when individuals experience persistent negative emotions (i.e.
