Abstract
Eating disorders (EDs) are serious mental illnesses that are highly comorbid with depressive and anxiety disorders. However, the underlying psychological mechanisms of this comorbidity are not yet clearly delineated. One such mechanism is self-criticism (i.e., harsh and overly critical self-evaluation). In this review, we summarize the literature investigating self-criticism as a transdiagnostic maintenance factor of EDs, depression, and anxiety to formulate a theoretical model of self-criticism as a transdiagnostic mechanism of comorbid EDs, depression, and anxiety. We also point to potential limitations of the current literature and outline future research directions needed to investigate and refine the proposed theoretical model. Future research investigating self-criticism as a transdiagnostic mechanism of psychiatric comorbidity among the EDs may lead to the development an evidence-based model of self-criticism as a transdiagnostic mechanism of psychiatric comorbidity and transdiagnostic treatment protocols that simultaneously improve outcomes for multiple psychiatric conditions.
期刊介绍:
New Ideas in Psychology is a journal for theoretical psychology in its broadest sense. We are looking for new and seminal ideas, from within Psychology and from other fields that have something to bring to Psychology. We welcome presentations and criticisms of theory, of background metaphysics, and of fundamental issues of method, both empirical and conceptual. We put special emphasis on the need for informed discussion of psychological theories to be interdisciplinary. Empirical papers are accepted at New Ideas in Psychology, but only as long as they focus on conceptual issues and are theoretically creative. We are also open to comments or debate, interviews, and book reviews.
