- Title
To go boldly where no scheme has been before: Reconceptualising eating disorder diagnoses.
- Authors
Hay, Phillipa
- Abstract
The article presents argument of underweight as a mandatory diagnostic criterion which overstates its utility and deemphasises more relevant features associated with severity, outcomes and recovery such as psychopathology and adaptive function. Topics include diagnostic category of eating disorders with a range of specifiers that inform treatment and outcome; and classifying eating disorders based on core psychopathologies and common phenotypes.
