In a sample of 38 eating disorder (ED) patients who received psychotherapeutic treatment, changes in attachment security, and mentalization in relation to symptoms reduction were investigated. Attachment security improved in 1 year but was unrelated to improvement of ED or comorbid symptoms. Mentalization did not change significantly in 1 year. Pretreatment mentalization was negatively related to the severity of ED symptoms, trait anxiety, psycho-neuroticism, and self-injurious behavior after 1 year of treatment. We conclude that for ED patients, improving mentalization might increase the effect of treatment on core and comorbid symptoms.
在接受心理治疗的 38 名饮食失调（ED）患者的样本中，研究了与症状减轻相关的依恋安全性和心理化的变化。在 1 年内，依恋安全性得到了改善，但与 ED 或合并症状的改善无关。心理化在 1 年内没有显著变化。治疗前的心理化与 ED 症状、特质焦虑、精神神经症和 1 年后的自我伤害行为的严重程度呈负相关。我们得出结论，对于 ED 患者，提高心理化可能会增加治疗对核心和合并症状的效果。
