Abstract: Understanding variables predicting drop-out or unfavourable outcome following treatment for anorexia nervosa (AN) may help to improve upon intervention efforts. However, the current literature has demonstrated sparse and inconsistent significant findings. The current systematic review and meta-analysis summarised the evidence base examining baseline predictors of drop-out and outcome in AN treatment. A literature search was conducted to identify research investigating predictors of drop-out and outcome in in iduals treated for AN. Four online databases were searched, and predictors were organised by category and dependent variable (outcome versus drop-out). 27 studies were included. Lower motivation, lower BMI, and having the binge-purge subtype of AN predicted drop-out. Greater ED pathology and poorer motivation predicted poorer outcome. Clinical recommendations include taking particular care during assessment stages to identify patients at risk of drop-out and/or poor outcome based on their clinical profile and level of motivation for recovery. At-risk patients should be receiving tailored treatment to enhance engagement and reduce risk of drop-out. In conclusion, there's some evidence that motivation, BMI, subtype, and ED pathology predicts drop-out and/or outcome in in idual and family-based therapy for AN amongst adolescents and adults however, research incorporating carefully designed multi-site studies is required to further examine these findings.

Abstract: Body dysmorphic disorder is a clinical disorder characterized by a preoccupation with an imagined or exaggerated defect in one’s appearance (American Psychological Association, 2013), causing impaired functioning. Cognitive-behavioral models of body dysmorphic disorder have been proposed, whereby social anxiety and parental rejection may be predisposing factors, whereas maladaptive cognitive biases, such as appraisals of rejection, may serve as maintenance factors. The primary aim of this study was to test the role that perceived parental rejection in childhood may play in understanding the development of body dysmorphic symptoms. Furthermore, this study examined whether idealized values of appearance act as a mediator between perceived maternal rejection and body dysmorphic symptoms. The s le comprised 239 Australian undergraduate psychology students. Social anxiety, appearance-based rejection sensitivity, maternal rejection, and idealized values of appearance uniquely predicted body dysmorphic symptoms. Furthermore, the relationship between maternal rejection and body dysmorphic symptoms was partially mediated by idealized values of appearance. Findings support cognitive-behavioral models of body dysmorphic disorder.
