Improvement in compulsive and emotional overeating is largely a function of ongoing behavioral change, suggesting that individuals who experience heightened spiritual well-being, may also be more fully engaging within the intervention. The clear relationship between increases in meaning, peace and faith and decreases in depression, anxiety, and program-targeted symptoms |
| Lock et al (2010) [54] |
121 participants, ages 12 through 18 years with DSM-IV diagnosis of anorexia nervosa except for not requiring ammenorhea. Twenty-four outpatient hours of treatment over 12 months of FBT or AFT. Participants were assessed at baseline, end of treatment (EOT), 6 months and 12 months follow-up post treatment |
FBT, adolescent focused psychotherapy (AFT) |
There were no differences in full remission between treatments at EOT. However, at both 6 and 12 months follow-up FBT was significantly superior to AFT on this measure. FBT was significantly superior for partial remission at EOT but not at follow-up. In addition, BMI percentile at EOT was significantly superior for FBT, but this effect was not found at follow-up. Participants in FBT also had greater changes on the eating disorder examination at EOT than those in AFT, but there were no differences at follow-up |
