SUMMARY: Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) was
introduced into the diagnostic classification system in DSM-5 in 2013.
While research on ARFID has proliferated in the past six years, as a
field, we are still in our infancy of understanding how best to treat
this heterogeneous illness. Building on a multi-disciplinary
research-based conceptualization of ARFID characterized by sensory
sensitivity, lack of interest in eating or food, and/or fear of
aversive consequences, we developed a manualized cognitive-behavioral
therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR). CBT-AR comprises 20-30 outpatient sessions
which can be delivered in a family-supported or individual format to
children, adolescents, and adults. This talk will describe the
fundamentals of CBT-AR, introduce data supporting its efficacy, and
outline next steps to guide clinical research in ARFID.
