Interoceptive Exposure for Adolescents With Low Weight Eating Disorders

A total of 120 individuals with Anorexia Nervosa ages 12-18 will be enrolled to either 20 sessions of outpatient Exposure-based Family Therapy (IE) or Family Based Therapy (FBT). The aims of the study are to test the comparative efficacy and primary mechanisms of change after 6 months of treatment and at one year post-treatment and to explore the mediators and moderators of the primary outcomes at these endpoints. All recruitment and study procedures will take place through the Center of Excellence in Eating and Weight Disorders at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Assessments will take place at 2-, 4-, 6-, 12-, and 18-months following baseline.
