Psychological interventions and research for eating disorders tend to be complex, and outcomes on average are modest. Given the frequency and severity of eating disorders, these levels of outcomes are disconcerting. Adding to the current state of research is evidence that practicing clinicians do not tend to use evidence-based psychotherapies consistently for eating disorders. This is a problem not only of dissemination and uptake of research, but also one of knowledge translation. More practice-based research, in which clinicians are equal partners in developing interventions and designing research, may be necessary in order to solve the problems of modest outcomes and low research uptake. The psychotherapy research of eating disorders in this special section presents examples of research that takes place in real-world clinical contexts with complex patients and that can be more easily translated into clinical practice.
心理干预和进食障碍研究往往很复杂，平均效果也有限。鉴于进食障碍的高发性和严重性，这种效果水平令人不安。更有研究证据表明，临床医生在治疗进食障碍时，并没有持续使用基于证据的心理疗法。这不仅是研究传播和应用的问题，也是知识转化的问题。为了解决效果有限和研究参与度低的问题，可能需要更多基于实践的研究，让临床医生在制定干预措施和研究设计方面成为平等的合作伙伴。本特刊中的进食障碍心理治疗研究提供了一些例子，这些研究是在现实世界的临床环境中进行的，涉及复杂的患者，并且可以更容易地转化为临床实践。
