What this Trial Is About

This research aims to improve treatments for eating disorders by studying factors that may influence how well patients respond to therapy. It focuses on whether a person's confidence in their ability to recover, called self-efficacy, affects treatment results. The study also looks at how self-efficacy, motivation, and self-esteem are related in patients undergoing therapy for eating disorders such as bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding or eating disorders. Participants receive Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - Ten (CBT-T), a brief treatment consisting of 10 weekly sessions. During therapy, patients are encouraged to face their fears and practice new behaviors to support recovery. Self-efficacy is measured at the start, after four sessions, and at the end of the treatment using questionnaires. The study explores whether changes in self-efficacy during therapy relate to better outcomes. Patients will complete questionnaires at three points: the beginning of therapy, session four, and session ten. Researchers will evaluate their eating disorder symptoms and examine how self-efficacy and related factors change over time. The main outcome is treatment success measured by the ED-15 questionnaire at these three times. This study helps understand how psychological factors influence recovery in eating disorder treatments.
