TL;DR: The current critical review synthesizes the literature on alexithymia and eating disorders and examines alexithsymia levels across eating disorders, the role of alexITHymia in binge eating disorder, and the influence of aLexithymic on the development of eating disorders as well as treatment outcome.

TL;DR: Examination of the effects of various kinds of information on willingness to ingest novel foods in individuals varying in the extent to which they reported that nutritional concerns affected their food choices indicated that older subjects were generally more willing to try novel foods than younger ones, and that specific nutrition information was influential for young adults.

TL;DR: There was a significant difference in accuracy between anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa patients and in individuals without an eating disorder, and both dieters and nondieters significantly underreported their weight.

TL;DR: Whether repetitive exposure to painful and destructive behaviors such as vomiting, laxative use, and non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) was a mechanism that linked AN-binge-purging (ANBP) subtype, as opposed to AN-restricting subtype (ANR), to extreme suicidal behavior is explored.

TL;DR: Att addressing weight-related self-evaluation and teaching clients to detach from this schema that connects weight/shape with self-esteem may be an effective and feasible step toward relapse prevention.
