Evidence basis for psychodynamic self-psychology in eating disorders – A review paper

The purpose of the present study is to present the empirical basis for the capability of the theory of psychodynamic self-psychology to predict in cross-sectional and prospective longitudinal studies, both the development of and the remission from eating disorders. In addition, we present the effectiveness of psychodynamic self-psychological treatment in a randomized control study over two other techniques. Theoretical constructs of the theory and technique suggestions will be weaved into the empirical data.
