Eating disorder cognitions: a comparison between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and Anorexia Nervosa
The findings have implications for the diagnosis and treatment of ARFID. They challenge diagnostic conceptualisations of ARFID as entirely separable from other eating disorders and any associated weight/shape concerns. They also highlight the need for clinicians to assess and treat unhelpful cognitions that may be maintaining disordered patterns of eating. Future research directions are discussed.
