Inviting eating disorder patients to discuss the academic literature: a model program for psychoeducation | Journal of Eating Disorders | Full Text


Description

Psychoeducation initiatives in which patients read primary scientific literature have not yet been studied as a treatment intervention for eating disorders. In this paper, we discuss and evaluate the acceptability of a novel psychoeducational journal club for individuals with anorexia and bulimia nervosa in inpatient and partial hospitalization program settings. Primary literature about eating disorders is presented and discussed with patients. By presenting scientifically-supported information, our “Psychoeducational Research Group” is designed to help patients restructure disordered thoughts and encourage adherence to evidence-based treatment.
