A new therapy, based on neuropsychological functioning, has been tested in patients with severe or enduring eating disorders and is presented in Psychotherapy and Psychosomatics (P&P).Patients suffering from eating disorders show deficits in neuropsychological functioning which might pre-exist and underlie the etiology of the eating disorders and influence relapse. Deficits in cognitive flexibility, i.e. set-shifting and central coherence, might perpetuate the symptoms.
