Summary: Research suggests that cognitive behavioral therapy is more effective than other treatments for bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder, with interpersonal psychotherapy showing similar effectiveness for BED. Evidence for the effectiveness of CBT-ED for adult anorexia nervosa is currently lacking, and there is minimal evidence for adolescents. The development of CBT-ED has gone through early studies, comparisons with other therapies, and efforts to develop internet-based treatment.

Summary: Internet-delivered cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) can improve access to mental health care for students, but high attrition rates and long-term outcomes remain challenges. This study examined the use of pretreatment motivational interviewing (MI) exercises and booster lessons in ICBT for postsecondary students. Results showed that pretreatment MI did not contribute to better treatment completion or engagement, while small between-group effects favored MI for reductions in depression and anxiety after treatment. The low uptake of the self-guided booster limited the conclusions regarding its effectiveness.

Summary: The study examines the relationship between therapeutic skills use and symptom change during the enhanced version of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT-E) for bulimia nervosa. Results show that using CBT-E skills aiming to reduce dietary restraint is associated with lower BN symptoms. The findings highlight the importance of future work in identifying the most effective CBT-E skills for symptom improvement and developing targeted interventions.

Summary: Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) for bulimia nervosa (BN) requires patients to utilize and acquire treatment skills. However, current treatment outcomes are not satisfactory due to poor skill acquisition and utilization after treatment. Just-in-time adaptive interventions (JITAIs) may improve skill acquisition and utilization by providing momentary interventions during opportunities for skill practice. The study found that JITAIs are feasible and acceptable during CBT for BN, but there were no differences in treatment outcomes and target engagement between the JITAIs and non-JITAIs conditions.

Summary: Relapse is a significant issue in eating disorders, and this study compared the outcomes of group-based intensive outpatient and individual cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT)-based maintenance treatments for patients with eating disorders. The results indicated that both maintenance treatments were similarly effective in helping patients maintain gains made in intensive treatment, but individual CBT may be a more efficient approach in terms of time and cost.

Summary: This study compared the clinical effectiveness of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (iCBT) combined with traditional face-to-face therapy (FtF-CBT) in a blended format (B-CBT) for adult major depressive disorder. The results showed no significant difference in treatment efficacy between B-CBT and FtF-CBT at 6 months' follow-up. These findings suggest that B-CBT may be capable of producing treatment effects similar to FtF-CBT.

Summary: This passage discusses the canonical use of conditional likelihoods in the Rasch model in psychometrics and explores a broader range of problems in psychometrics that can be addressed using conditional likelihoods. Specifically, it focuses on the issue of cluster-level endogeneity and the challenges it poses in various settings. Ignoring these challenges can result in severely inconsistent estimation.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to examine the levels of growth factors in anorexia nervosa (AN). The results showed that AN patients had lower levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and insulin growth factor-I (IGF-1) compared to controls, but these levels increased with weight restoration. The findings suggest that the low levels of BDNF and IGF-1 in AN are likely a consequence of starvation, which can be reversed with weight restoration. Furthermore, the increase in BDNF and IGF-1 during therapeutic weight restoration may enhance neuroplasticity and improve the success of psychotherapy.

Summary: This study used network analysis to examine the relationship between eating disorder-related psychopathology and carers' responses to anorexia nervosa symptoms in adolescents. Results showed that depression in both carers and patients played a significant role in the maintenance of psychopathology. The findings suggest that depression could be a potential treatment target in family interventions.

Summary: The aim of this study was to examine the processes involved in a guided self-help pre-treatment intervention for patients with anorexia nervosa by measuring the levels of patient/mentor Language Style Matching. The study found that early and late Language Style Matching predicted higher working alliance with the clinic therapist, and late Language Style Matching predicted lower eating disorder symptoms at the end of the intervention. Patient/peer mentor dyads showed higher verbal attunement than patient/student mentor dyads.

Summary: This article introduces an approach called Ignorable likelihood (IL) for handling missing data in multivariate models. The IL approach estimates the likelihood based on all available data without specifying a model for the missing data mechanism, and inference is conducted using maximum likelihood or Bayesian methods. The article proposes two diagnostic tests, a likelihood-ratio test for heteroscedastic regression models and a kernel conditional independence test. The article also develops a test-based estimator that determines the type of MAR violation and utilizes data deletion accordingly. Simulations demonstrate that the test-based estimator outperforms IL when the missing data problem is severe.

Summary: Treatment for anorexia nervosa remains challenging, with no approved psychopharmacological interventions and variable efficacy of psychotherapeutic strategies. Current evidence suggests deficiencies in neuroplasticity in anorexia nervosa, and this paper provides an overview of neuroimaging, neuropsychological, molecular, and qualitative findings in this area. The findings can be translated into the identification of novel biological and psychotherapeutic strategies to improve the treatment outcomes.
