Abstract Targeted approaches for the treatment of severe and enduring anorexia nervosa (SE‐AN) have been recommended, but there is no consensus definition SE‐AN to inform research clinical practice. This study aimed take initial steps toward developing an empirically based by characterizing associations among putative indicators severity chronicity in eating disorders. Patients with AN ( N = 355) completed interviews questionnaires at admission discharge; height weight were assessed...
Abstract Objective This study evaluated the DSM‐5 severity specifiers for treatment‐seeking groups of participants with anorexia nervosa (AN), purging form bulimia (BN), and binge‐eating disorder (BED). Method Hundred sixty‐two AN, 93 BN, 343 BED were diagnosed using semi‐structured interviews, sub‐categorized compared on demographic cross‐sectional clinical measures. Results In number previous hospitalizations duration illness increased severity, but there was no difference across measures...
Individuals often consume tasty, calorically dense foods in response to negative emotions, a phenomenon exemplified by notions of “stress eating” and “comfort food.” While this link between food mood can become pathological binge eating, the decision-making processes underlying are poorly understood. Here, we investigated impact acute increases affect on when how strongly perceived tastiness healthiness influence choices healthy adults individuals with bulimia nervosa (BN), an eating...

The objective of this study was to assess tic persistence and tic-associated impairment in referred youth with Tourette's Disorder (TD). Subjects were 50 (ages 6-17 years) who met DSM-IV diagnostic criteria for TD, a specialized TD program, evaluated by clinical structured interview. Tic severity measured using the Yale Global Severity Scale. total score at or above minimal range defined persistence, moderate impairment. Results assessed during administration Kiddie-Schedule Affective...
ABSTRACT Objective This study compared an objective measurement of physical activity (PA) in individuals with anorexia nervosa (AN) at low‐weight, weight‐restored, and post‐treatment time points, also PA AN that healthy controls (HC). Method Sixty‐one female inpatients wore a novel accelerometer (the IDEEA) which measured three points: a) b) c) one month post‐hospital discharge. Twenty‐four HCs the IDEEA point. Results Inpatients became more physically active than they were low‐weight weight...
Abstract Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is used to modulate neural systems and provides the opportunity for experimental tests of hypotheses regarding mechanisms underlying anorexia nervosa (AN). The present pilot study has investigated whether high‐frequency repetitive (HF‐rTMS) a region right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) might be associated with change in food selection among adult inpatients AN. Ten women received one session sham HF‐rTMS targeting DLPFC...
This study evaluated a process for training raters to reliably rate clinicians delivering the Adolescent Community Reinforcement Approach (A-CRA) in national dissemination project. The unique A-CRA coding system uses specific behavioral anchors throughout its 73 procedure components. Five randomly selected each rated “passing” and “not passing” examples of 19 procedures. Ninety-four percent final intraclass correlation coefficients were at least “good” (≥.60) 66.7% “excellent” (≥.75), 95%...
The purpose of the current study was to examine relative reinforcing effect exercise compared a non-monetary alternative reinforcer (leisure activity), and money, before after weight restoration in an inpatient population with anorexia nervosa (AN). Sixty-two inpatients AN completed progressive ratio (PR) task earn exercise, leisure activities, or cash at low restoration. Measures pathology motivation were post-treatment discharge weights collected. Patients worked harder for than (df = 46,...
Introduction Restrained eating is generally defined as a persistent fixation on dieting, weight, and food, such that the type amount of food eaten restricted for purpose weight loss or maintenance (Ruderman, 1985). Much to their dismay, restrained eaters commonly experience fluctuations, due alternations between dieting pronounced lapses in dietary adherence Dietary restriction has been implicated risk factor development obesity, binge-eating, clinically diagnosable disorders, bulimia...
