Shared decision making in eating disorders: the patient and clinician perspectives
Patients with EDs perceive themselves as equally involved in treatment decision as those with other major mental disorders, yet clinicians report lower SDM in this group suggesting a perceptual gap. SDM in EDs is affected by socio-demographic and clinical variables. Further development of SDM techniques is crucial for improving the therapeutic alliance and addressing the cognitive and motivational features of EDs.
