Summary

Eating disorders (ED) are a major public health problem for which current treatments are insufficiently effective. The transdiagnostic approach of eating disorders highlights body dissatisfaction (BD) as a major factor in the development and maintenance of the different types of eating disorders. Thus, we hypothesize that a group focused on the management of BDc would improve the prognosis of patients with eating disorders.

Conditions

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

body dissatisfaction management group

Our group is composed of 10 weekly session of 2 hours led by a psychologist trained in the management of ED and ACT therapy. Each group will be composed of 5 to 10 people. First of all, the group will lead the participants to better know and understand the impact of BD on the symptomatology of ED by teaching current scientific knowledge on the subject. In a second step, the group will guide the patients in the acquisition of psychological skills to deal with events related to BD and to engage in actions towards the values that give meaning to their existence.

BEHAVIORAL

Relaxation Group

Participants will be included in a standardized relaxation program consisting of a weekly 2 hour session for 10 weeks. The group will be led by a psychologist trained in relaxation and in particular in abdominal and muscular relaxation techniques. Each group will be composed of 5 to 10 people. Initially, the therapy will lead the participants to recognize the signs of anxiety and to understand the physiological mechanisms involved. Classic techniques of anxiety management will then be introduced (cardiac coherence, abdominal and muscular relaxation, Jacobson technique, Schultz autogenic training). These techniques will be tested in session. Participants will be encouraged to practice these techniques at home.
