Classifying Adults with Binge Eating Disorder Based on Severity Levels
Abstract
The clinical utility of the severity criterion for binge eating disorder (BED), introduced in the DSM‐5 as a means of addressing heterogeneity and variability in the severity of this disorder, was evaluated in 189 treatment‐seeking adults with (DSM‐5) BED. Participants classified with mild, moderate, severe and extreme severity of BED, based on their weekly frequency of binge eating episodes, differed significantly from each other in body mass index (BMI), eating disorder features, putative factors involved in the maintenance process of the disorder, comorbid mood, anxiety and personality disorders, psycholo...

Evaluation of the DSM ‐5 Severity Indicator for Anorexia Nervosa
ConclusionsOur findings, in this clinical sample of patients with AN in Portugal, provide no evidence for the new DSM‐5 severity ratings based on BMI level. Further research on the validity of the DSM‐5 specifiers is needed and should test additional clinical or functional variables and especially prognostic utility for course and outcome across eating disorders.

Eating ‐related Psychopathology and Food Addiction in Adolescent Psychiatric Inpatients
DiscussionFood addiction in adolescent psychiatric inpatients occurs with rates higher than those seen in community samples of children, adolescents and adults. Food addiction might be associated with eating styles related to susceptibility to hunger and feelings of loss of control. The implications of high‐YFAS scores in restricting‐type anorexia nervosa warrant further investigations to explore which and how the respective items are interpreted in this ED subgroup.

Altered Reward Reactivity as a Behavioural Endophenotype in Eating Disorders: A Pilot Investigation in Twins
Abstract
Altered reward reactivity is a potential risk endophenotype for eating disorders (EDs). The aim of this study was to examine reward reactivity in female twins with EDs and compare it with a twin control group. A sample of 112 twins [n = 51 met lifetime DSM‐IV ED criteria (anorexia nervosa n = 26; bulimic disorders n = 24), n = 19 unaffected cotwins and n = 42 control twins] was administered measures assessing reward reactivity, including the Game of Dice Task, the Behavioural Inhibition/Activation (BIS/BAS) Scales and the Appetitive Motivation Scale (AMS). Within pair, correlations for monozy...

Anorexia Nervosa, Theory and Treatment: Where Are We 35 Years on from Hilde Bruch's Foundation Lecture?
Abstract
Hilde Bruch's foundation lecture in 1982 is a milestone from which to survey current theory and treatment for anorexia nervosa. Bruch described problems in body perception, emotion processing and interpersonal relationships as core theoretical aspects of the illness and built her theory of psychopathology on these aspects, as well as on animal studies on attachment. She also noted that many psychological problems result as consequence of starvation. In the first part of this paper, we parse Bruch's clinical descriptions into elements of psychopathology (disturbances in body perception, attachment, emotion expressi...

Reproductive and Appetite Hormones and Bulimic Symptoms during Midlife
Abstract
Eating disorders and related symptoms occur during midlife; however, little is known about their aetiology. It has been hypothesised that perimenopause represents a window of vulnerability for the development or exacerbation of eating disorder symptomatology because, like puberty, perimenopause is a period of reproductive hormone change. We compared symptoms of bulimia nervosa (bulimic symptomatology) assessed via mean scores on a self‐report questionnaire in premenopausal and perimenopausal women. We also examined the association between hormone concentrations (reproductive/appetite) and bulimic symptomatology....

Facets of Impulsivity and Compulsivity in Women with Anorexia Nervosa
This study sought to investigate independent associations of impulsivity and compulsivity with eating disorder (ED) symptoms. Women (N = 81) with full or subthreshold Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV anorexia nervosa (AN) completed a semi‐structured interview and self‐report questionnaires. Multiple regression analyses were conducted using ED symptoms as dependent variables and facets of impulsivity and compulsivity as predictor variables (controlling for body mass index and AN diagnostic subtype). For impulsivity facets, lack of perseverance was uniquely associated with eating concern, shap...

Development of the Modified Yale Food Addiction Scale Version 2.0
Abstract
The Yale Food Addiction Scale (YFAS) operationalizes indicators of addictive‐like eating, originally based on the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 4th edition Text Revision (DSM‐IV‐TR) criteria for substance‐use disorders. The YFAS has multiple adaptations, including a briefer scale (mYFAS). Recently, the YFAS 2.0 was developed to reflect changes to diagnostic criteria in the DSM‐5. The current study developed a briefer version of the YFAS 2.0 (mYFAS 2.0) using the participant sample from the YFAS 2.0 validation paper (n = 536). Then, in an independent sample recruited from Mecha...

Temporal Discounting and the Tendency to Delay Gratification across the Eating Disorder Spectrum
This study investigated self‐reported (Delaying Gratification Inventory) and task‐based (temporal discounting) inhibitory control in 66 women with an ED and 28 healthy controls (HCs). Poorer task‐based inhibitory control was observed in the BN compared with the AN group and poorer self‐reported inhibitory control in the BN and in the BED groups compared with the AN and the HC groups, suggesting that reward‐related inhibitory control varies across EDs. Symptom severity correlated with poorer self‐reported (but not task‐based) inhibitory control across the EDs. These data provide some support for transdiagnosti...

Guided Self ‐help for Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review and Metaregression
DiscussionCurrent interventions need to be adapted to address features other than binge eating.

Perception of Peripersonal and Interpersonal Space in Patients with Restrictive ‐type Anorexia
This study examines whether the perception of peripersonal action‐space and interpersonal social‐space is modified in patients with restrictive‐type anorexia in two experimental conditions using videos. First, participants stopped the video of an approaching stimulus when they felt the distance to be comfortable for interacting with it (first‐person perspective). Second, participants stopped the video when an observed individual approaching a stimulus, or being approached by it, was at a comfortable distance (third‐person perspective). In the first‐person perspective, the results showed an estimation of periper...
