An intensive DBT program for patients with multidiagnostic eating disorder presentations: a case series analysis.

Objective: This study presents case-series data on a novel outpatient program that blends dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with standard eating disorder (ED) interventions (i.e., food exposure, weight monitoring, cognitive modification, ED psychoeducation) for patients with complex and multidiagnostic ED presentations.

Effectiveness and feasibility of a cognitive-behavioral group intervention for body image disturbance in women with eating disorders.

Objective: The present study investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of a cognitive-behavioral group intervention for the treatment of body image disturbance in women with eating disorders.

Method: The study used a multiple-baseline design and enrolled 38 participants with a range of eating disorders. The intervention targeted attitudinal and behavioral components of body image disturbance using psychoeducation, self-monitoring, systematic desensitization, and cognitive restructuring.

Consistency between self-report and clinician-administered versions of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale.

Background: Preliminary efforts to demonstrate the utility of a self-rated version of the Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS) have been promising; however, earlier reports are based on small clinical samples. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the level of agreement between the clinician-administered Y-BOCS and a self-report version.

Methods: Participants included 86 individuals with a principal diagnosis of obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).
