“…Overall, these data reaffirm the importance of assessing emotion regulation skills over the course of psychotherapy-based multidisciplinary treatment of AN, and support the possible use of supplementary modules with a specific focus on this dimension, such as dialectical behavior therapy ( Linehan, 1987 ), as already carried out in some ED treatment centers ( Ben-Porath, Federici, Wisniewski, & Warren, 2014 ; Rowsell et al, 2016 ). Finally, specific treatments for trauma-related psychopathology such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing ( Shapiro, 1989 ), cognitive processing therapy ( Resick & Schnicke, 1992 ), or prolonged exposure therapy ( Foa, 2011 ) could also be useful in selected cases of AN with early trauma, given the evidence pointing to their effectiveness in reducing emotion dysregulation ( Galovski, Nixon, & Kaysen, 2020 ; Puhalla, Flynn, & Vaught, 2021 ; Shapiro, 1989 ; van Toorenburg et al, 2020 ).…”
