Jones EJ, Egan SJ, Howell JA, et al. - In view of limited examination of validity of the transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral model of eating disorders in adolescents with eating disorders, researchers here investigated the direct and indirect correlations between eating disorder symptoms and the four maintaining processes: perfectionism, low core self-esteem, mood intolerance, and interpersonal difficulties. Using a correlational cross-sectional design, 270 adolescents with eating disorders (anorexia nervosa [restricting; 35.9%]; anorexia nervosa [binge purge; 8.1%]; bulimia nervosa [9.3%]; atypical anorexia nervosa [27.4%]; bulimia nervosa [of low frequency and/or limited duration; 3%]; purging [1.1%]; and unspecified feeding or eating disorders [15.2%]) were assessed for measures concerning perfectionism, self-esteem, mood intolerance, interpersonal difficulties, and eating disorder symptoms as part of the intake assessment to an eating disorders program. Overall findings yield partial support for the transdiagnostic model of eating disorders in this adolescent clinical sample. In particular, they indicated core low self-esteem and mood intolerance to be pertinent in adolescents with eating disorders.
