Cognitive‐behavioral therapy for avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder: Feasibility, acceptability, and proof‐of‐concept for children and adolescents
Overview
This paper evaluates the feasibility, acceptability, and proof-of-concept of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) in children and adolescents aged 10–17. The study reports on a small sample where participants received 20–30 sessions of treatment, resulting in decreased ARFID severity scores and increased food variety. It notes that the underweight subgroup experienced significant weight gain and that 70% of patients no longer met diagnostic criteria post-treatment. The authors conclude that while findings support CBT-AR's potential, randomized controlled trials are necessary to establish efficacy.
