This project will recruit subjects with eating disorders in the Dallas Fort Worth area. Pre-assessment measures of anxiety, self-esteem, depression, eating disorder symptoms, and attributional style will be completed before the intervention. Participants attend four weekly sessions of a group psychoeducational intervention. The intervention includes an art therapy experiential activity, psychoeducation on social function, reflection and discussion of sample videos and scripts, homework assignments, and guided discussions. Post-assessments will be completed 1-4 weeks and 3-5 months after the interventions is completed.
