Abstract
Analysis of the Effectiveness of Cognitive Remediation and Emotional Skills Training in a Group format. Preliminary results in patients with eating disorders
Highlights
Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by an altered eating pattern, along with a series of practices aimed to compensate for the effects of eating [1]
Participants showed a higher number of embedded figures, which indicates an increased tendency to focus on details after the Cognitive and Emotional Remediation Skill Training (CREST)
We found a slight increase in positive affect and a slight decrease in negative affect, the variability in the scores increased after the CREST
Summary
Eating disorders (ED) are characterized by an altered eating pattern (restricting eating, having an irresistible urge to eat, etc.), along with a series of practices aimed to compensate for the effects of eating (vomiting, taking laxatives, excessive exercise, etc) [1]. BN is related to recurrent binge episodes followed by compensatory behaviors [1]. Despite these differences in symptomatology, eating disorders (ED) share the characteristic of presenting impairments in several cognitive domains. Whereas individuals with AN have a tendency to focus on details [11] and have impairments in simple alternation and perceptual change [11], individuals with BN are more likely to have impairments in inhibition [12] and cognitive flexibility [10]. In addition to these cognitive impairments, ED are associated with emotional impairments expressed as difficulties in identifying and distinguishing emotions [13,14], expressing and managing emotions [13,15], and regulating negative emotions [16]
