Inside Exposure: Tracking Fear and Threat Expectancy Dynamics Within and Between Exposure Sessions for Anorexia Nervosa
Overview
This study examines fear and threat expectancy dynamics within 417 individualized exposure sessions for female patients with anorexia nervosa. It reports significant reductions in these measures both during and across sessions, noting that post-exposure discussions amplified these effects. The resource is relevant to clinicians interested in the mechanisms of inhibitory learning models in treating anxiety and avoidance behaviors associated with eating disorders.
