ABSTRACT
Eating disorders (EDs) have become increasingly common, and clinical experience suggests that these patients are presenting with complex symptom constellations (e.g., Garner & Garfinkel, 1997; Levitt, 1998, 2000; Levitt & Sansone, 2002). Indeed, multisymptomatic presentations have become so prevalent in the ED population (e.g., self-harm behavior) that assessment instruments and treatment approaches are often insufficient in meeting the needs of these patients (Sansone & Levitt, 2005b; Sansone & Sansone, 2004; Vitousek & Stumpf, 2005).
