    Abstract Background: Collaborative care is described as showing curiosity and concern for patient experiences, providing choices, and supporting patient autonomy. In contrast, in directive care, the clinician has authority and the patient is expected to adhere to a treatment plan over which they have limited influence. In the treatment of eating disorders, collaborative care has been shown to be more acceptable and produce better outcomes than directive care. Despite widespread patient and clinician preference for collaborative care, it is common for clinicians to be directive in practice, resulting in negative patient attitudes toward treatment and poor adherence. There is a need to understand factors which contribute to its use.
    Purpose: This study examined the contribution of clinicians' experience of distress and how they relate to themselves and others in times of difficulty (self-compassion and compassion for others), to their use of collaborative support.
    Method: Clinicians working with individuals with eating disorders from diverse professional backgrounds (N = 123) completed an online survey.
    Results: Whereas clinician distress was not associated with use of collaborative or directive support behaviours, self-compassion and compassion for others were. Regression analyses indicated that compassion for others was the most important determinant of collaborative care.
    Discussion: Relating to their own and others' distress with compassion was most important in determining clinicians' use of collaborative support. Understanding how to cultivate conditions that foster compassion in clinical environments could promote the delivery of collaborative care.

    Abstract Objective: Although self-compassion has been shown to facilitate eating disorder (ED) remission, significant barriers to acquiring this skill have been identified. This is particularly true for tertiary care populations, where ED behaviours provide a valued identity and readiness issues are highly salient. In this research, the voices and perspectives of patients who have recovered as well as those in later stages of tertiary care treatment were captured using qualitative methods.
    Methods: Seventeen individuals with a lengthy ED history (seven fully recovered, 10 currently in recovery-focused residential treatment) participated in audio recorded interviews. Using a visual timeline, participants described the development of their understanding of self-compassion, barriers to self-compassion and how these barriers were overcome.
    Results: Three processes were identified, reflecting different levels of readiness. Challenging my beliefs involved overcoming cognitive barriers to the concept of self-compassion (i.e. coming to see self-compassion as helpful), and set the stage for dealing with the world around me and rolling up my sleeves, which reflected preparatory (i.e. freeing oneself from difficult life circumstances) and active (i.e. having the courage to do the work) change efforts, respectively.
    Conclusions: These findings may help patients embarking on tertiary care treatment to envision a roadmap of supportive processes and help clinicians tailor interventions to patient level of readiness for self-compassion.

    Abstract Background: A common complaint of individuals suffering from mental health conditions is feeling invalidated or misunderstood by care providers. This is notable, given that non-collaborative care has been linked to poor engagement, low motivation and treatment non-adherence. This study examined how receiving validation from care providers is experienced by individuals who have an eating disorder (ED) and the impact of receiving validation on the recovery journey.
    Methods: Eighteen individuals who had an eating disorder for an average duration of 19.1 years (two identifying as male, 16 identifying as female), participated in semi-structured interviews on barriers and facilitators to self-compassion. Seven were fully recovered, and 11 were currently participating in recovery-focused residential treatment. Thematic analysis focused on the meaning and impact of receiving validation to participants.
    Results: Five care provider actions were identified: (i) making time and space for me, (ii) offering a compassionate perspective, (iii) understanding and recognizing my treatment needs, (iv) showing me I can do this, and (v) walking the runway. These were associated with four key experiences (feeling trust, cared for, empowered, and inspired), that participants described as supportive of their recovery.
    Conclusions: This research provides insight into patient perspectives of validation and strategies care providers can use, such as compassionate reframing of difficult life experiences, matching interventions to patient readiness, and modeling vulnerability.

    Abstract Background: Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) experience barriers to self-compassion, with two recently identified in this population: Meeting Standards, or concerns that self-compassion would result in showing flaws or lead to loss of achievements or relationships, and Emotional Vulnerability, or concerns that self-compassion would elicit difficult emotions such as grief or anger. This exploratory study examined the utility of self-compassion and two barriers to self-compassion in predicting clinical outcomes in intensive ED treatments.
    Method: Individuals in inpatient (n = 87) and residential (n = 68) treatment completed measures of self-compassion and fears of self-compassion, and ten clinical outcome variables at pre- and post-treatment.
    Results: Pre-treatment self-compassion was generally not associated with outcomes, whereas pre-treatment self-compassion barriers generally were. In both treatment settings, fewer Emotional Vulnerability barriers were associated with improved interpersonal/affective functioning and quality of life, and fewer Meeting Standards barriers were associated with improved readiness and motivation. Interestingly, whereas Meeting Standards barriers were associated with less ED symptom improvement in inpatient treatment, Emotional Vulnerability barriers were associated with less ED symptom improvement in residential treatment.
    Conclusions: Given that few longitudinal predictors of outcome have been established, the finding that pre-treatment barriers to self-compassion predict outcomes in both inpatient and residential settings is noteworthy. Targeting self-compassion barriers early in treatment may be helpful in facilitating ED recovery.

    Abstract Objectives: The current study was conducted to further understand the experiences of youths with an eating disorder with accessing services and receiving treatment. Participants' perceptions of the role of gender in eating disorder treatment was also assessed.
    Design: A prospective mixed methods design was used, with the current report focusing on qualitative interviews.
    Methods: Youths who were receiving services in a specialized paediatric eating disorder program completed a semi-structured interview in combination with a visual lifeline upon their discharge. A process of interpretative induction was employed to derive high-level concepts from the interviews.
    Results: A total of 28 youths (15 males and 13 females) completed an interview. Four high-level concepts were identified: (1) unwanted/non-collaborative support, (2) conflicting views, (3) dynamics in relationships (with sub-concepts relating to peers and health professionals), and (4) changing mindset. Although many participants viewed treatment as universal, a subset of participants noted that treatment was tailored towards females.
    Conclusions: Youths shared several challenges that they encountered in their journey to accessing specialized eating disorders treatment, including disagreement with their parents/caregivers and health professionals about treatment plans. Interactions with peers and health professionals represented both a facilitator (e.g., feeling supported and inspired by peers) and a challenge (e.g., negative interactions with professionals). Some youths shared concerns about the female-centric nature of treatment. The results of this study highlight the importance of collaborative care for paediatric eating disorders, and consideration for gender inclusivity in eating disorders treatment.

    Abstract In eating disorders inpatient care, mandatory treatment components are central to effective service delivery. Thus, fostering a collaborative care environment that supports autonomy, competence, and connection can be challenging. This study examined whether collaborative care is associated with better outcomes in adult inpatient treatment and explored a possible determinant of collaborative care, the manner in which mandatory treatment components were delivered (e.g. consistent implementation of weight gain guidelines, provision of choices regarding intensity of treatment). Inpatients (N = 146) completed measures of eating disorder symptoms, psychological functioning and readiness and motivation for change, pre and post-treatment. At post, they also completed measures of collaborative care, treatment satisfaction, and a new measure designed to evaluate patients' experiences of mandatory treatment components. After controlling for baseline symptom levels, multiple regression analyses determined that collaborative care was associated with improvements in nearly all symptom domains. Collaborative care was also associated with patient satisfaction and the manner in which mandatory treatment components were delivered (e.g. consistency, provision of choices). In sum, a collaborative environment was associated with improvements in motivation, eating disorder symptoms, and psychiatric functioning and one way in which this may be achieved is in the manner in which mandatory treatment components are delivered.

    Abstract Background: Parents are integral in the treatment of pediatric eating disorders. The current study was conducted to further understand the barriers and facilitators that parents experience in accessing specialized, tertiary level eating disorder treatment for children and adolescents. The goals of the study were to understand the processes leading to diagnosis and treatment, perceived barriers and facilitators to accessing care, and parents' experiences over the course of their child's eating disorder treatment.
    Methods: Ten parents whose children were admitted to a Canadian tertiary level specialized pediatric eating disorders program took part in an exit interview upon their child's completion of treatment in the program. In-depth semi-structured interviews were combined with a visual timeline. Interpretive induction was performed to generate high-level concepts that emerged from the interviews.
    Results: Five high-level concepts were identified: (1) delays in identifying eating disorder symptoms, (2) challenges in accessing eating disorder services, (3) the right treatment at the right time, (4) emotional impact on parents, and (5) parental expertise and involvement.
    Conclusions: Several barriers were identified by parents that interfered with treatment, including system-related challenges when accessing specialized eating disorder treatment, concerns about a lack of appropriate mental health support for their child, and difficulties with transitioning between community and tertiary level care. Negative emotions, including guilt and self-blame, were common early in the treatment journey. Themes of parental involvement throughout treatment, and parents taking charge of their child's recovery, emerged across interviews. The results of this study suggest the importance of early identification of eating disorder symptoms, facilitating smoother transitions between levels of care (e.g., community services and hospital-based eating disorder care), and improving clinical decision-making to ensure children and adolescents with eating disorders receive the most appropriate treatment based on their clinical presentation.

    Abstract Background: To address the gaps in the literature examining eating disorders among males and gender minority youths, a prospective study was designed to assess gender differences in eating disorder symptom presentation and outcomes. Muscularity concerns may be particularly relevant for male youths with eating disorders, and were included in assessment of eating disorder symptom presentation.
    Methods: All cisgender male youths who presented for specialized eating disorder treatment at one of two sites were invited to participate, along with a group of matched cisgender females, and all youths who did not identify with the sex assigned to them at birth. Youths completed measures of eating disorder symptoms, including muscularity concerns, and other psychiatric symptoms at baseline and end of treatment.
    Results: A total of 27 males, 28 females and 6 trans youths took part in the study. At baseline, Kruskal-Wallis tests demonstrated that trans youths reported higher scores than cisgender male and female youths on measures of eating pathology (Eating disorder examination-questionnaire (EDE-Q) and the body fat subscale of the male body attitudes scale (MBAS)). These analyses demonstrated that there were no differences between cisgender male and female youths on eating disorder symptoms at baseline. However, repeated measures ANOVA demonstrated that males had greater decreases in eating pathology at discharge than did females, based on self-reported scores on the EDE-Q, MBAS, and Body Change Inventory.
    Conclusions: Gender differences in eating pathology appeared at baseline, with trans youths reporting higher levels of eating pathology than cisgender youths, though no differences between cisgender males and females emerged at baseline for eating disorder symptom presentation. Contrary to expectations, there were no gender differences in measures of muscularity concerns. Males demonstrated greater eating disorder symptom improvements than females, suggesting that male adolescents may have better treatment outcomes than females in some domains.
