“…During a 'voyage into the body', the patient is asked to visually imagine making a trip inside her body . This is a mindfulness-based exercise and in conjunction with psychoeducation provides a powerful adjunctive intervention to build self-awareness (DeSole, 2010;Guardiola Wanden-Berghe et al, 2010;Kristeller, Baer, & Quillian Wolever, 2006;Spaans, van de Kamp-Verbeij, & Hop, 2005).…”

The integration of physiotherapy as an adjunctive treatment for patients with an eating disorder within psychiatric health care and rehabilitation may sound unusual. However, physiotherapists have specific expertise in both the 'body' and 'the body in movement', two important issues integral to eating disorder pathology. Based on our clinical practice and the current body of scientific evidence, a rationale and clinical guidance for incorporating physiotherapy into treatment for patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) is presented. Two main indications for physiotherapy are proposed for patients with AN: (1) the distorted body experience with a specific focus on perception, attitudes, and behavior, and (2) the compulsive and excessive engagement in physical activity characteristic of patients with AN. Physiotherapists have a wide array of skills and are encouraged to select those techniques (e.g. relaxation, breathing exercises, awareness exercise, and exercise programs) which are most individually relevant the patient to address the distorted body experience and hyperactivity typically seen in AN.

“…Recently, there has been a growing interest in the application of mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) in disordered eating treatment [1][2][3]. Examples of these interventions include dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) [4], mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) [5], acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)[6], mindfulness-based eating awareness training (MB-EAT) [7], mindfulness-action based cognitive-behavioral therapy (MACBT) [8] and other similar approaches.…”

MB-EAT and MACBT are mindfulness-based interventions developed specifically for treating disordered eating concerns.…”

There is growing interest in mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs), such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT), mindfulness-based eating awareness training (MB-EAT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), as treatments for a range of disordered eating concerns. DBT modified for disordered eating is a standalone treatment for bulimia nervosa (BN), binge eating disorder (BED) and eating disorders comorbid with borderline personality disorder or substance use disorders. Evidence for MBCT is limited. Preliminary uncontrolled data suggest that MBCT alone may be a promising treatment for binge eating in patients diagnosed with BED. Early controlled studies suggest that MB-EAT is a useful intervention targeting binge eating and compulsive overeating. Evidence for ACT is limited for BN, BED and general disordered eating concerns. However, ACT alone seems to promote greater functioning and quality of life in patients with obesity, and an ACT-enhanced weight loss program promotes and maintains weight loss. Available evidence for mindfulness-based CBTs for disordered eating concerns varies in methodological rigor, and across interventions and types of disordered eating concerns. There is considerable overlap across different mindfulness-based CBTs and significant variation even within a single type of mindfulness-based CBT. As with other clinical interventions, evidence is extremely limited for mindfulness-based interventions as treatments for anorexia nervosa. Although mindfulness-based CBTs appear to be promising interventions, it remains unclear if these treatment modalities are comparable to the extant treatments of choice for disordered eating concerns. Additional research is needed in this area. Neuropsychiatry (2013) 3(4) future science group 434 Review Masuda & Hill SummaRy Recently there has been growing interest in mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapies in the field of disordered eating treatment as an alternative or as an adjunct to extant treatment. The aims of this review are to comprehensively identify, summarize and critically evaluate the available outcome evidence of mindfulness-based cognitive-behavioral therapies as treatments for a range of disordered eating concerns. This review suggests that mindfulness-based interventions, especially modified dialectical behavior therapy, seem to be promising treatments for bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and eating disorders with borderline personality disorders and substance use disorders. However, evidence is extremely limited on mindfulness-based interventions as treatments for anorexia nervosa. Limitations and future directions are also discussed in this review.
