Qualitative patient experiences from the Self-Blame and Perspective-Taking Intervention for eating disorders.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Problems in social cognition and social support contribute to eating disorders (ED). Group therapy provides an ideal format to create an experiential learning environment focused on understanding social interactions. This pilot study examined the qualitative content of the participants' experiences in the Self-Blame and Perspective-Taking Intervention (SBPI) for ED.

Methods

The SBPI was a 4-week group therapy intervention involving art therapy and psychoeducation that focused on social behaviors in ED patients. Participants received surveys immediately after the intervention and at 1 to 4 weeks after the post-intervention. Thematic analyses of qualitative feedback were performed using Braun and Clarke's thematic analysis framework.
