Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa

A Multiple Baseline Single-case Experimental Design Study Across 13 Cases

About the Course

No treatment for adult anorexia nervosa (AN) has shown sufficient effectiveness or superiority to other treatments. Overcontrol has been suggested as a viable mechanism to target in the treatment of patients with AN. Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is developed for disorders related to maladaptive overcontrol. This study’s objective was to evaluate the outcome of RO DBT for AN in a clinical outpatient setting. Thirteen adult female patients with mild to moderate AN provided written consent and entered a multiple baseline single-case experimental design study. The primary outcome was ED psychopathology. Secondary outcomes were psychosocial impairment, quality of life, social connectedness, and adaptive control strategies. Methods, results, limitations, and conclusions are presented.

This course is based on the reading-based online article, Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Anorexia Nervosa: A Multiple Baseline Single-case Experimental Design Study Across 13 Cases created by Martina Isaksson, Ph.D., et al. in 2021.
