Abstract

Purpose of review: There is increasing interest and exploration in tailoring eating disorder (ED) treatment for emerging adults/transition-age youth. This review provides a narrative update on research findings from 2021 to 2025.

Recent findings: There has been continued development of ED-focused family therapy approaches for emerging adults, and we have also started to see the tailoring of existing individual treatments (e.g., Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Maudsley Model of Anorexia Nervosa Treatment) for this age group. A notable development is the implementation and evaluation of treatments or service pathways aiming to deliver timely and accessible intervention to emerging adults: the First Episode Rapid Early Intervention for ED (FREED) service model and care pathway continues its scale and spread, and shorter forms of treatment, such as CBT-Ten, have been successfully delivered via both FREED and general mental health early intervention pathways. There has been a marked increase in ED treatment innovation and evaluation for emerging adults over the last few years. As of yet, it remains unclear if there is a single 'best' treatment approach for this age group. Anecdotally, there appears to be a shift away from exclusively family or individual oriented treatments. Future research should advance inclusive, developmentally aligned treatments for emerging adults by addressing peer support, youth engagement, and gaps in care models. Interventions must be adaptable across formats and populations while integrating seamlessly within existing systems through personalized, context-responsive strategies.

新兴成人饮食失调治疗的最新进展和未来方向。
综述目的:人们对新兴成人/过渡年龄青年的饮食失调(ED)治疗越来越感兴趣和探索。本综述提供了2021年至2025年研究成果的叙述性更新。最近的发现:针对新生成人的ed家庭治疗方法一直在不断发展,我们也开始看到针对这个年龄组的现有个体治疗方法(例如,认知行为疗法(CBT),莫兹利神经性厌食症治疗模型)。一个值得注意的发展是治疗或服务途径的实施和评估,旨在向新生成人提供及时和可获得的干预:ED的第一次快速早期干预(FREED)服务模式和护理途径继续扩大规模和传播,较短的治疗形式,如CBT-Ten,已成功地通过FREED和一般心理健康早期干预途径提供。在过去几年中,新兴成人ED治疗创新和评估显著增加。到目前为止,尚不清楚是否存在针对这一年龄组的单一“最佳”治疗方法。有趣的是,似乎有一种转变,从完全以家庭或个人为导向的治疗。未来的研究应该通过解决同伴支持、青年参与和护理模式的差距,来推进对新生成人的包容性、与发展相一致的治疗。干预措施必须适应不同的形式和人群,同时通过个性化、因地制宜的战略与现有系统无缝整合。

期刊介绍: This journal aims to review the most important, recently published research in psychiatry. By providing clear, insightful, balanced contributions by international experts, the journal intends to serve all those involved in the care of those affected by psychiatric disorders. We accomplish this aim by appointing international authorities to serve as Section Editors in key subject areas, such as anxiety, medicopsychiatric disorders, and schizophrenia and other related psychotic disorders. Section Editors, in turn, select topics for which leading experts contribute comprehensive review articles that emphasize new developments and recently published papers of major importance, highlighted by annotated reference lists. An international Editorial Board reviews the annual table of contents, suggests articles of special interest to their country/region, and ensures that topics are current and include emerging research. Commentaries from well-known figures in the field are also provided.
