Description

The diagnosis of other specified feeding or eating disorder (OSFED) is meant to apply to clients who present with symptoms of an eating disorder, along with clinically significant distress or impairment, but do not meet full criteria for any other eating disorder (5th ed.; DSM-5, American Psychiatric Association [APA], 2013). Although presentations meeting criteria for OSFED have been referred to as “subthreshold,” clients with these presentations report high levels of eating disorder symptoms and psychological distress (e.g., Rockert, Kaplan, & Olmstead, 2007; Shisslack, Crago, & Estes, 1995). College students appear to be particularly vulnerable to developing OSFED. Research indicates that college students report high rates of eating disorder symptomatology and substantial levels of associated distress and impairment (e.g., Schwitzer et al., 2001). Research also indicates that students are interested in receiving treatment (Meyer, 2005). However, college counseling centers may struggle to provide treatment to these students due to high demand for services (Gallagher, 2013) and limited staff experience (National Eating Disorders Association, 2013). Therapists may also struggle to provide treatment to students because research on treatment for OSFED is almost nonexistent (Fairburn & Bohn, 2005). Current guidelines suggest that therapists treating OSFED follow recommendations for whichever full-threshold eating disorder is most similar to the client’s presenting problem (e.g., Yager et al., 2010). However, standard treatments for other eating disorders have demonstrated limited efficacy (Wilson et al., 2007; Yager et al., 2010). Overall, there is a need for more research on effective treatment for OSFED and for eating disorders in general. Newer mindfulness-based approaches appear to hold promise for treating disordered eating. They are theoretically well suited to the needs of clients with eating disorders (Baer et al., 2006; Juarascio & Butryn, 2009) and research thus far demonstrates successful outcomes of mindfulness-based interventions for eating disorders (e.g., Juarascio et al., 2013). Therefore, the current project seeks to create a manual for mindfulness-based treatment of OSFED in college students. Creation of this manual will serve the needs of college students and campus clinicians, while also contributing to the scant literature on OSFED.
