Eating disorders (EDs), particularly anorexia nervosa (AN) and bulimia nervosa (BN), are characterized by emotional and behavioral disturbances in eating patterns and body image that result in significant distress and functional impairment (as reported by APA, (APA dictionary of psychology, American Psychological Association, Washington, DC, 2015)). Ben-Porath and colleagues (Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy 40:115-123, 2010) have researched the effectiveness of dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) day treatment program in reducing negative mood regulation and anxiety among women diagnosed with AN, BN, and eating disorder not otherwise specified (EDNOS). The current study extended past research on the effectiveness of DBT day treatment by analyzing the improvement in these patients’ scores on the beck anxiety inventory (BAI) and the generalized expectancy for negative mood regulation (NMR) Scale after treatment. We compared pre- and post-treatment scores using paired samples t-tests. We also examined rates of clinically significant change in these areas post-treatment. The results indicated that participants demonstrated a reduction in expectancies for negative mood dysregulation and anxiety after undergoing DBT day treatment for EDs. Limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

检查 DBT 日间治疗在治疗被诊断患有饮食失调的女性的情绪失调预期和焦虑中的作用

饮食失调 (ED)，尤其是神经性厌食症 (AN) 和神经性贪食症 (BN)，其特征是饮食模式和身体形象中的情绪和行为障碍，导致显着的痛苦和功能障碍（据 APA 报告，（APA 字典）心理学，美国心理学会，华盛顿特区，2015 年））。Ben-Porath 及其同事（Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy 40:115-123, 2010）研究了辩证行为疗法 (DBT) 日间治疗计划在减少被诊断患有 AN、BN 和饮食失调的女性的负面情绪调节和焦虑方面的有效性未另行指定 (EDNOS)。目前的研究通过分析这些患者在治疗后的背部焦虑量表 (BAI) 和消极情绪调节 (NMR) 量表上的总体预期得分的改善，扩展了过去对 DBT 日间治疗有效性的研究。我们使用配对样本 t 检验比较了治疗前和治疗后的分数。我们还检查了治疗后这些区域的临床显着变化率。结果表明，参与者在接受 DBT 日间 ED 治疗后，对负面情绪失调和焦虑的预期降低。讨论了这项研究的局限性和影响。我们还检查了治疗后这些区域的临床显着变化率。结果表明，参与者在接受 DBT 日间 ED 治疗后，对负面情绪失调和焦虑的预期降低。讨论了这项研究的局限性和影响。我们还检查了治疗后这些区域的临床显着变化率。结果表明，参与者在接受 DBT 日间 ED 治疗后，对负面情绪失调和焦虑的预期降低。讨论了这项研究的局限性和影响。
