Affective Responses in Different Stages of Anorexia Nervosa: Results from a Startle ‐reflex Paradigm
We examined startle responses in different stages of AN.
MethodsWe applied a startle reflex paradigm with standardized visual stimuli (International Affective Pictures System; food and body pictures) in 64 female participants (17 acute AN, 16 chronically ill AN, 15 long‐term recovered AN, 16 healthy controls). We measured subjective ratings of valence and anxiety, and electromyographic startle responses.
ResultsParticipants with acute and chronic AN displayed the same subjective valence ratings to affective stimuli but showed less startle reactivity to affective pictures (F(6, 116) = 2.75, p = .02) compared with ...

Social Cognition and Emotional Functioning in Patients with Binge Eating Disorder
ConclusionsBinge eating disorder patients have a comparable ability to understand others' emotions but a more impaired capacity to understand and code their own emotions compared with non‐BED obese patients. This impairment is highly correlated with depression. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd and Eating Disorders Association. (Source: European Eating Disorders Review)

Rumination in Patients with Binge ‐Eating Disorder and Obesity: Associations with Eating‐Disorder Psychopathology and Weight‐bias Internalization
This study examined rumination and overvaluation of shape/weight with eating‐disorder psychopathology and weight‐bias internalization among 237 treatment‐seeking patients with BED and comorbid obesity. Hierarchical multiple regressions indicated that rumination was associated with eating‐disorder psychopathology and weight‐bias internalization above and beyond the influence of overvaluation of shape/weight. Findings suggest that, among patients with BED/obesity, rumination is an important cognitive process associated with severity of eating‐disorder psychopathology even after accounting for overvaluation of sha...

Impact of ASD Traits on Treatment Outcomes of Eating Disorders in Girls
This study reports through clinical audit the impact of ASD traits on treatment outcomes of girls who were referred for treatment in a specialist eating disorder service. Presence of current, but not early childhood, ASD traits was elevated in comparison with previously reported community samples. Current ASD traits were correlated with emotional disorders and with need for treatment augmentation (psychiatric inpatient or day patient admission), but this relationship was not significant after the contribution of depression had been controlled for. There was no difference in Morgan Russell Outcomes at discharge for those wi...

Meaningful Memory in Acute Anorexia Nervosa Patients —Comparing Recall, Learning, and Recognition of Semantically Related and Semantically Unrelated Word Stimuli

Biased Interpretation of Ambiguous Social Scenarios in Anorexia Nervosa
Abstract
Patients with anorexia nervosa experience increased sensitivity to the risk of social rejection. The aims of this study were to assess the interpretation of ambiguous social scenarios depicting the risk of rejection and to examine the relationship between interpretation biases and clinical symptoms. Thirty‐five women with anorexia nervosa and 30 healthy eaters completed clinical questionnaires, alongside a sentence completion task. This task required participants to generate completions to ambiguous social scenarios and to endorse their best completion. Responses were rated as being negative, neutral or positive...

Expressed Emotions and Depressive Symptoms in Caregivers of Adolescents with First ‐Onset Anorexia Nervosa—A Long‐Term Investigation over 2.5 Years
ConclusionCaregivers of adolescent AN patients suffer from elevated levels of EE and DS. Further studies are needed to examine whether therapeutic interventions to reduce caregivers' EE and DS might have a positive influence on treatment outcome.

Predictors, Moderators, and Mediators of Treatment Outcome Following Manualised Cognitive ‐Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders: A Systematic Review
Abstract
This systematic review synthesised the literature on predictors, moderators, and mediators of outcome following Fairburn's CBT for eating disorders. Sixty‐five articles were included. The relationship between individual variables and outcome was synthesised separately across diagnoses and treatment format. Early change was found to be a consistent mediator of better outcomes across all eating disorders. Moderators were mostly tested in binge eating disorder, and most moderators did not affect cognitive‐behavioural treatment outcome relative to other treatments. No consistent predictors emerged. Findings sugges...

Aggression Regulation in Day Treatment of Eating Disorders: Two ‐Centre RCT of a Brief Body and Movement‐Oriented Intervention
The objective is to evaluate a body and movement‐oriented intervention on aggression regulation, specifically aimed towards reducing anger internalization in patients with an eating disorder.
MethodPatients were randomized to treatment‐as‐usual (TAU) plus the intervention (n = 38) or to TAU only (n = 32). The intervention was delivered by a psychomotor therapist. TAU consisted of multidisciplinary day treatment (3–5 days per week during 3–9 months). Anger coping (Self‐Expression and Control Scale) and eating pathology (Eating Disorder Examination‐Self‐report Questionnaire) were measured at basel...
