  7. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION

  8. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION A transdiagnostic view is taken. • Problems with separate diagnostic categories include: Clients "migrate" between diagnoses • Some clients with behavioral patterns do not fit into diagnostic • criteria • Implications of separate diagnostic categories is that separate treatment approaches are developed for each disorder • Eating disorders are viewed as a single diagnostic category with common maintaining mechanisms. Over-evaluation of shape and weight and their control as main • mechanism Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  9. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION Overeating behaviors • Binge-eating: specific episode of eating an objectively large amount of food where the individual experiences a sense of loss of control. • Subjective binge: a binge in which the amount consumed does not meet the normal standards of a binge, but is perceived by the individual as a binge. • Grazing: the tendency to eat continuously at food over a longer duration of time than experienced in a binge. Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  10. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION Restrictive behaviors • Calorie-counting: the act of monitoring the caloric intake of food to keep a running total. • Debting: creating a caloric deficit to accommodate for later eating • Delayed eating: prolonging eating as a means of weight control • Dietary restraint: limiting the amount of food consumed • Dietary restriction: true under-eating in a physiological sense • Dietary rules: highly specific dietary goals • Food avoidance: limiting specific types of foods because of a perception that they will break dietary rules Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  11. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION Compensatory behaviors • Excessive exercise: exercising to an extent that energy needs are not met • Self-induced vomiting: a type of voluntary purging behavior; can be done as a non-compensatory behavior • Laxative misuse: a purging behavior involving the use of laxatives, usually stimulant type Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  12. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION Shape control behaviors • Body Image Disparagement: viewing oneself as disgusting or loathsome • Body Dissatisfaction: a more common experience of disliking one’s appearance or body • Body checking: the act of checking features of the body through methods such as pinching, excessive weighing, mirror checking, measuring, etc • Body avoidance: the avoidance of situations that one may experience body image disparagement Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  15. EATING DISORDER BEHAVIORS & THEIR FUNCTION • Core psychopathology impacts the over-evaluation on shape and weight: • Perfectionism • Low self-esteem • Interpersonal problems Fairburn, C. G. (2009). Cognitive behavior therapy and eating disorders.

  22. LEVELS OF CARE & WHEN TO REFER

  23. LEVELS OF CARE & WHEN TO REFER • Consider three factors when referring: • When a higher level of care is recommended (see following slides) • When you are unable to coordinate care (see following section) • When you have treatment interfering beliefs, biases, or behaviors
