Most DSM-5 eating disorder diagnoses are associated with elevated suicide risk; however, little is known about the relationship between Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and suicidal i...
High rates of overlap exist between disorders of gut-brain interaction (DGBI) and eating disorders, for which common interventions conceptually conflict. There is particularly increasing recognition o...
Goldenhar syndrome (GS) is a rare congenital condition characterized by the underdevelopment of structures deriving from the first and second branchial arches. Clinical phenotype might encompass extra...
A 15-year-old boy with GS was referred to our outpatient clinic due to severe underweight (BMI of 12.7 kg/m...
The current report describes the first case of a young male with GS and ARFID. We suggest that ARFID may present itself as part of the spectrum of neuropsychiatric disorders associated with the syndro...

Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and pediatric feeding disorder (PFD) are the newest evolutions of frameworks for dysfunctional feeding and share overlapping features but maintain not...
Dysfunctional feeding, particularly withing the PFD definition, benefits from multidisciplinary care with equal attention to medical, nutritional, skill-based, and behavioral domains. Management requi...
ARFID and PFD not only share areas of overlap, but also differ, likely based on the origins of each framework. Ultimately, both frameworks describe dysfunctional feeding and require input from medical...
This scoping review identifies and describes psychological interventions for avoidant restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) and summarizes how outcomes are measured across such interventions....
Five databases (Cochrane, Embase, Medline, PsycInfo, Web of Science) were searched up to December 22, 2022. Studies were included if they reported on psychological interventions for ARFID. Studies wer...
Fifty studies met inclusion criteria; almost half were single-case study designs (23 studies) and most studies reported on psychological interventions for children and adolescents with ARFID (42 studi...

Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) and food neophobia present significant challenges in pediatric healthcare, particularly among children with food allergies (FAs). These eating disorde...
Cognitive behavioral therapy for Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID; CBT-AR) is an emerging treatment for ARFID. However, this treatment modality has yet to be examined among older adult...
G was a 71-year-old male who completed eight sessions of CBT-AR in a doctoral training clinic. ARFID symptom severity and comorbid eating pathology changes were examined pre- and post-treatment....
Posttreatment, G reported significant decreases in ARFID symptom severity and no longer met diagnostic criteria for ARFID. Furthermore, throughout treatment, G reported significant increases in his or...
This study provides proof of concept that CBT-AR is potentially effective for older adults and/or those presenting for treatment with feeding tubes. Validation of patient efforts and severity of ARFID...
