Body distress in eating disorders: A comprehensive review of treatment techniques

Eating disorders (EDs) diseases affect eating habits and behaviors, with physiological and psychosocial complications. Among these disorders, the most known and studied are anorexia nervosa (AN), bulimia nervosa (BN), and binge eating disorder (BED). The existence of innumerable approaches to psychological therapy for EDs reflects the complexity of these disorders. Objective of this review is therefore to offer a research overview with particular reference to the last 15 years, to help to better understand which forms of therapy for EDs are more studied, more accredited, and more effective according to the most recent literature. From the articles considered, the efficacy emerged of many types of approach for the treatment of EDs: cognitive-behavioral therapies, psychodynamic treatments, family therapies, and alternative forms of treatment, such as specialist supportive clinical management (SSCM), motivation-focused treatment, temperament-based treatment, and Maudsley model of anorexia nervosa treatment for adults (MANTRA).
