Objective: Early change in eating disorder psychopathology is the most robust predictor of treatment outcomes in eating disorders. However, little is known about what predicts early change. Using mixed-methodology, this study explored predictors of early change in the first four sessions of 10-session cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-T) for nonunderweight eating disorders.

Background: Women with binge eating disorder (BED) and bulimia nervosa (BN) usually consume high-calorie meals with variable macro- and micronutrient compositions and have a disturbed perception of gastric fullness. The association of dietary intake with gastric interoception and gastric myoelectric activity (GMA) is poorly studied. This study examined the link between GMA/interoception and dietary intake in women with eating disorders (ED) compared to age/body mass index (BMI)-matched controls.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to explore the diversity of Feeding and Eating Disorders (FED) by examining how different symptoms and personality issues overlap, proposing that current classifications might not fully capture the complexity of these disorders.
  • Researchers used Latent Profile Analysis on 109 patients, identifying three distinct profiles: low symptoms with no personality issues, high symptoms without dysfunction, and high symptoms with dysfunctional personality traits.
  • Results showed noteworthy differences in BMI, eating disorder severity, and psychiatric diagnoses among these profiles, indicating that the most complex cases suffered the most severe symptoms and related issues, challenging traditional diagnostic categories.

Article Synopsis
  • Eating disorders are severe conditions that require weight restoration and psychotherapy, but many patients often refuse treatment, raising concerns about their ability to make decisions regarding their care.

  • Specific psychological symptoms can either impair or enhance a patient's ability to make informed decisions, indicating that clinicians should carefully evaluate their patients' decision-making capacity to provide appropriate support.
