Verifying Feighner’s Hypothesis; Anorexia Nervosa Is Not a Psychiatric Disorder
TLDR
The results indicate that psychiatric diagnoses, which are reliable and valid in patients with psychiatric disorders, are less well suited for patients with anorexia, and support the alternative, clinically relevant hypothesis that the behavioral phenotype of the patients should be addressed directly.
A Modification of Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa
This case study illustrates the treatment of an adult woman who was diagnosed with anorexia nervosa (AN). For approximately 10 years, the client had suffered from various forms of eating disorders…

TLDR
Depressive symptomatology in AN patients of pubertal age corresponded to main mechanisms of development of the clinical picture and dynamics of adolescent depression as atypical depressive triad, predominance of anxiety and asthenic/adynamic affect, a trend towards protracted course and substantial frequency of dysmorphophobic symptoms and over-valued ideas.

TLDR
Depressive symptomatology in adolescent patients with AN in general terms corresponded to the pattern of the developing clinical picture and dynamics of adolescent depression expressed as an atypical depressive triad consisting of a predominance of anxious and astheno-adynamic affect, a tendency to a protracted course, and a significant level of dysmorphic manifestations and overvalued ideation in the clinical picture.
Eating Behavior and the Evolutionary Perspective on Anorexia Nervosa
TLDR
It is suggested that the treatment of eating disorders should focus on eating behavior, and a two-parameter asymptotic exponential growth curve modeled the eating behavior of 17 healthy women but not that of 17 women with anorexia nervosa.
Behavioral neuroendocrinology and treatment of anorexia nervosa
Perceived causes of initial development and relapses in anorexia nervosa: A comparison to theoretical models of aetiology
TLDR
A model of aetiology of anorexia nervosa was developed integrating current findings with established theoretical models and research; key influences contributing to relapse were also modelled.
Remission of anorexia nervosa after thyroidectomy: A report of two cases with Graves' disease and anorexia nervosa
TLDR
A review of the literature is presented that suggest a heretofore unreported thyroid hormone, which is involved in the regulation of migration behavior, may be the responsible factor behind anorexia nervosa.
Effective treatment of eating disorders: Results at multiple sites.
TLDR
The results of a study based on 1,428 patients with eating disorders treated at 6 clinics compare favorably with the poor long-term remission rates, the high rate of relapse, and the high mortality rate reported with standard treatments for eating disorders.
The Hungry Brain: A Revision of the Concept of Anorexia Nervosa and a New Direction for Systemic Therapy
TLDR
Over time, this will end in a state of malnutrition and loss of personal control over the situation, together with the onset of phobic fears and the exacerbation of obsessive-compulsive disorders relating to food and the possibility of getting fat.

Randomized controlled trial of a treatment for anorexia and bulimia nervosa
TLDR
It is suggested that most patients treated with this method recover, because the risk of relapse is maximal in the first year after remission, and the estimated rate of remission was 75%, and estimated time to remission was 14.7 months.
Comorbidity of anxiety disorders with anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
TLDR
The prevalence of anxiety disorders in general and OCD in particular was much higher in people with anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa than in a nonclinical group of women in the community.
Towards the pharmacotherapy of eating disorders
TLDR
While the majority of studies have failed to show medication efficacy for the acute treatment of anorexia nervosa, there is data which suggests that fluoxetine hydrochloride may play a role in preventing relapse during maintenance therapy.
Family and individual therapy in anorexia nervosa. A 5-year follow-up.
TLDR
Much of the improvements found at a 5-year follow-up can be attributed to the natural outcome of the illness, Nevertheless, it was still possible to detect long-term benefits of psychological therapies completed 5 years previously.
Eating disorders: outcome, prevention and treatment of eating disorders
TLDR
Much of the literature on the treatment and outcome of eating disorders lacks methodological robustness and ignores basic epidemiological principles, and existing theories of the causation of the disorders are too non-specific to generate effective programs of prevention.

TLDR
A complicating variant of bulimia nervosa takes a multi-impulse-ridden form, with the individual also prone to equally unfulfilling and sometimes promiscuous sexual behaviour, violence, self-harm, stealing, drug and alcohol abuse.

TLDR
There was no convincing evidence that the outcome of anorexia nervosa improved over the second half of the last century, and vomiting, bulimia, and purgative abuse, chronicity of illness, and obsessive-compulsive personality symptoms are unfavorable prognostic features.
Psychotherapy for bulimia nervosa and binging.
TLDR
CBT in a full or less intensive form is not significantly superior to CBT in a pure self-help form and CBT augmented by exposure and response therapy, and non CBT-psychotherapies also have significantly greater abstinence rates in comparisons with wait-list controls.
Anxiolytic effects of acute tryptophan depletion in anorexia nervosa.
TLDR
Data demonstrate that a dietary-induced reduction of TRP, the precursor of serotonin, is associated with decreased anxiety in people with AN, and restricting dietary intake may represent a mechanism through which individuals with AN modulate a dysphoric mood.
An evaluation of family therapy in anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.
TLDR
Family therapy was found to be more effective than individual therapy in patients whose illness was not chronic and had begun before the age of 19 years, and a more tentative finding was the greater value of individual supportive therapy in older patients.
