Reciprocal association between session-by-session change in overvaluation of shape and weight and session-by-session change in bulimia nervosa symptoms during cognitive behavior therapies Eat. Disord. (IF 3.3) Pub Date : 2022-09-29 Paakhi Srivastava, Christina Felonis, Mandy Lin, Kelsey Clarke, Adrienne Juarascio
ABSTRACT Overvaluation of shape and weight (OSW) is supported as an important mechanism underlying improvement in bulimia nervosa (BN) during behavioral therapies (CBTs). It is not yet clear, however, whether changes in OSW temporally precede and prospectively predict changes in BN symptoms during CBTs, limiting the ability to establish causality. The present study is the first to examine whether session-by-session
