Identity Functioning in Patients with an Eating Disorder: Developmental Trajectories throughout Treatment.

ABSTRACT: Increasing research has indicated a strong association between identity functioning and eating disorder (ED) symptomatology. However, a detailed investigation of identity throughout ED treatment is lacking. The present longitudinal study examined identity in inpatients with an ED and explored its simultaneous change with ED symptomatology throughout treatment. A total of 225 female patients completed questionnaires at admission. From these 225 patients participating at admission (Wave 1), 110 also participated in at least one additional measurement wave, with 43.64% (n = 48) participating at admission and during treatment, 16.36% (n = 18) participating at admission and at discharge, and 40% (n = 44) participating at admission, during treatment and at discharge.
