Patterns of Symptom Change in Behaviors and Cognitions During 10-Session Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-T) for Non-Underweight Eating Disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Little is known about the timing of behavioral versus cognitive change in 10-session cognitive-behavioral therapy for non-underweight eating disorders (CBT-T).
