Transdiagnostic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for Patients With Eating Disorders: A Two-Site Trial With 60-Week Follow-Up
Overview
This two-site randomized controlled trial compares a standard cognitive-behavioral therapy focused on eating disorder features against a transdiagnostic version that also addresses mood intolerance, perfectionism, self-esteem, and interpersonal issues. The study enrolled 154 outpatients with DSM-IV eating disorders who were not markedly underweight, assessing outcomes after 20 weeks of treatment and at a 60-week follow-up. Results indicate that both treatments produced substantial and equivalent symptom reduction compared to a waiting list control, with benefits maintained over time. The findings suggest the transdiagnostic approach may be particularly beneficial for patients with specific additional psychopathologies, while the simpler version serves as an effective default for others.
