Résumé

Clinicians need an instrument that helps their patients with eating disorders (ED) to explore their agent's inner intentions and confront negative behaviour and control styles.

Background UNASSIGNED
Clinicians need an instrument that helps their patients with eating disorders (ED) to explore their agent's inner intentions and confront negative behaviour and control styles.
Objectives UNASSIGNED
To assess the feasibility and impact of an eating and control styles axis (ECOSA) during the first 8 months of mentalisation-based psychotherapy with a community-based sample of ED patients.
Methods UNASSIGNED
Six experienced therapists and their consecutively admitted patients were randomly allocated to the intervention and control groups. A total of 94 women,
Results UNASSIGNED
The use of ECOSA, although less than advised, was reported as feasible. The effect size of the improvement in reflective functioning was larger than that of the control group and correlated significantly only in the intervention group with EDE-Q score (
Conclusion UNASSIGNED
Although the study limitations: selective population, relatively small sample size and the lack of controlled confounder, the combined quantitative and qualitative results lend preliminary evidence for the validity and contribution of ECOSA as a possible instrument that may upgrade the clinician's toolbox in the treatment of ED. A more rigorous study design is needed to explore the potential usage of ECOSA as a clinical tool to enhance mentalisation among people with ED.
