Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The investigators expect that the experimental group CBT-F+MIT would be able to have high treatment adherence and retention on the ground of previous studies of MIT for personality disorders. They will also expect good outcomes in the primary outcome. Given the small sample this is just a pilot study so any conclusions about other outcomes will be considered preliminary. Results will provide new evidence that may lead to consider CBT-F+MIT a treatment option for ED deserving investigations in larger trials.

CBT-E
Participants in the CBT-E condition will receive a total of 20 CBT-E sessions over 20 weeks. CBT-E treatment will consist of four stages. In particular, CBT aims to inform patients about the importance of self-control, the dangers of some restrictive behaviors such as self-induced vomiting. Moreover, CBT provides strategies to patients in order to monitor their usually dysfunctional behaviors and so increasing their awareness (i.e. food diary method) while reducing the availability of food and encourages activities that are incompatible with overeating. Patients will be trained in problem solving in order to change these feelings, as well as in increasing their self-awareness in order to recognize irrational thoughts about their body weight and shape. Additionally, they will be gradually exposed to foods that they had been avoiding.
CBT-E
In the first Stage, the treatment will be focused on achieving a shared understanding of the patient's eating disorder and the related maintenance factors. In this phase the patient will be helped to regulate and stabilize his eating habits and so to address his weight concerns. In the second stage, progress made is reviewed in detail. In the third stage, the sessions will be focused on the central processes that are maintaining the psychopathology of the patient's eating disorder. In particular, this involves in addressing concerns about weight and body shape, cognitive and caloric dietary restriction, events and emotions that affect nutrition. In phase three and four clinical perfection, low global self-esteem, intolerance of emotions and interpersonal difficulties are also addressed. Towards the end of the third stage and during the fourth stage, procedures will be also implemented to minimize the risk of short- and long-term relapse.
CBT-F+MIT
Participants in the CBT-F+MIT condition will receive a total of 20 sessions over 20 weeks. Specifically, 2 sessions will be based on CBT-F as usual only. During these sessions participants will receive psychoeducational training on eating behaviors and an introduction to the protocol tools, namely the monitoring form, weight chart, transdiagnostic formulation and Eating Problem Check List (EPCL).
These elements will be used at the beginning of the remaining 18 sessions, in order to monitor the regulations of eating behaviors as well eliciting narrative episodes. These materials will form the basis for the MIT-part of the session, in which therapists will seek to form with the patient a shared understanding of the psychological reasons underlying their ED symptoms and their maladaptive interpersonal functioning. MIT sessions will be integrated within the CBT-F protocol which will provide psycho-educational, nutritional re-education and management for ED.
CBT-F+MIT
The aim is to develop healthier strategies for managing negative thoughts and feelings antecedent to ED and for engaging patients in social interactions that meet their relational basic wishes. They will thus understand that perfectionism and the need for control they experience through ED are coping strategies developed within interpersonal patterns of interaction with significant others, where low self-esteem and emotive dysregulation play a central role. MIT aims to improve individuals' capacity to make sense of their own affect and cognitions and become aware of being driven by maladaptive, rigid and biased schemas about self and others, to form a richer understanding of the mind of the others and use this knowledge to react in more adaptive ways to social difficulties or evolutionary selected wishes. MIT also enables individuals to reflect on how these schemas may act as triggers for ED behavior and to develop more effective coping strategies in face of interpersonal stressors.
