Eating disorders are serious psychiatric illnesses associated with large amounts of suffering, high morbidity, and high mortality rates, signifying a clear need for rapid advancements in the underlying science. Relative to other fields of clinical psychological science, the eating disorder field is new. However, despite the fields' late beginnings, there is growing science in several important areas. The current paper discusses the current literature in three primary areas of importance: (a) diversity and inclusion, (b) systemic and social factors, and (c) treatment personalization. We discuss how these areas have huge potential to push both eating disorder and clinical psychological science in general forward, to improve our underlying understanding of psychological illness, and to enhance treatment access and effectiveness. We call for more research in these areas and end with our vision for the field for the next decade, including areas in need of significant future research.
饮食失调是严重的精神疾病,会带来巨大痛苦、高发病率和高死亡率,这表明在基础科学方面迫切需要快速取得进展。相对于临床心理科学的其他领域,饮食失调领域是新兴的。然而,尽管该领域起步较晚,但在几个重要领域的科学研究正在不断发展。本文讨论了三个主要重要领域的当前文献:(a)多样性与包容性,(b)系统和社会因素,以及(c)治疗个性化。我们讨论了这些领域如何具有巨大潜力,推动饮食失调和临床心理科学总体向前发展,增进我们对心理疾病的基本理解,并提高治疗的可及性和有效性。我们呼吁在这些领域进行更多研究,并以我们对该领域未来十年的展望作为结尾,包括未来需要大量研究的领域。
