Emotion regulation and eating disorders

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference Paper › Chapter

Abstract

Eating disorders in children and adolescents differ from those in adults in prevalence of clinical syndromes and in the psychopathology of disorders. Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder have a later age of onset than anorexia nervosa and Avoidant/ Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID), which are the more common childhood problems. However, very little is known about ARFID and its treatment. Thus, this chapter will focus on anorexia nervosa and describe a new approach to emotion regulation in its management in adolescents.
