Abstract

Objective: Current treatments for eating disorders have limited effectiveness, leaving over half of patients unremitted. The evaluation of emerging interventions to support recovery is therefore critical. This study evaluated the efficacy and acceptability of an innovative, virtual intervention for eating disorders (Eat Breathe Thrive; EBT-R).

Method: Participants recovering from eating disorders from 27 different countries (N = 277) were randomly allocated to EBT-R or waitlist conditions. Assessments were completed at baseline, postintervention, and three-month follow-up. Primary outcomes were eating disorders and co-occurring psychopathology; secondary outcomes included measures of positive embodiment.

Results: Compared with controls, participants in EBT-R demonstrated significant improvements in eating disorders and associated psychopathology (i.e., depression, anxiety) than controls. Participants also reported increased appreciation for the body, interoception, interoceptive attunement, intuitive eating, emotion regulation, mindful self-care, and integrity.

Discussion: This study evaluated the efficacy of a brief, virtual, embodiment-focused intervention for eating disorders. The findings suggest that EBT-R may be an effective intervention to support recovery from eating disorders and development of positive embodiment.

期刊介绍： Articles featured in the journal describe state-of-the-art scientific research on theory, methodology, etiology, clinical practice, and policy related to eating disorders, as well as contributions that facilitate scholarly critique and discussion of science and practice in the field. Theoretical and empirical work on obesity or healthy eating falls within the journal’s scope inasmuch as it facilitates the advancement of efforts to describe and understand, prevent, or treat eating disorders. IJED welcomes submissions from all regions of the world and representing all levels of inquiry (including basic science, clinical trials, implementation research, and dissemination studies), and across a full range of scientific methods, disciplines, and approaches.
