“…With the impending publication of DSM-V, several questions regarding the validity of BED and its diagnostic criteria remain (Latner & Clyne, 2008;Wilfley, Bishop, Wilson, & Agras, 2007; Wonderlich, Gordon, Mitchell, Crosby, & Engel, in press). In particular, it has been suggested that overvaluation of shape and weight be included in BED's diagnostic scheme in DSM-V, given evidence that it reliably predicts elevated levels of psychosocial impairment (Grilo et al, 2009;Grilo et al, 2008; Grilo, Masheb, & White, in press;Hrabosky, Masheb, White, & Grilo, 2007;Latner & Clyne, 2008;Mond, Hay, Rodgers, & Owen, 2007). Further research is needed to establish the clinical utility of this construct in adults with BED.…”
