Keywords

Abstract

During the past two decades, hundreds of eating disorder outcome studies and dozens of review articles have been published. It is difficult for practitioners, and even researchers, to find time to read all of these materials. To help practitioners and researchers more easily become current about eating disorder treatment research, we have distilled and summarized the conclusions of 28 eating disorder treatment outcome review articles that have been published since 1987. We also present some implications for practice and research.
