Kara Christensen (Psychology) and colleagues at the University of Kansas, led by Kelsie Forbush, recently published an article, "Generalized network psychometrics of eating-disorder psychopathology," in the International Journal of Eating Disorders that compares different models for understanding eating disorder psychopathology.
The study found that using latent variable modeling within a network framework may be the best fitting approach for understanding eating disorder symptoms. These findings may have implications for identifying treatment targets for these serious mental illnesses.
