| Abstract: | A broad array of important and diverse studies surrounding the treatment of eating disorders were published in Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention in 2024. Anorexia nervosa is the most lethal and arguably the most well-studied eating disorder, yet treatment outcomes have been slow to advance. Herein, we review advances to both measuring AN symptom severity specifiers, identifying key treatment targets, and overview treatment advances. With regards to binge spectrum eating disorders, we review how purging and non-purging compensatory behaviors impact illness severity, and carefully review evidence relating to treatment outcomes. In this review, we also review novel treatment developments including yoga-based and ayahuasca-based interventions, as well as novel treatments for augmenting weight restoration in restrictive eating disorders. Additionally, we review evidence relating to eating disorder comorbidities, elucidating the impact on illness severity and treatment outcomes, and evidence addressing access to care for specialized eating disorder treatment, and lastly, how non-outpatient levels of eating disorder care may augment outcomes. Overall, the articles published in Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment & Prevention in 2024 evidence the promise of treatment advances in the field and requires further work to address the development of efficacious treatments to achieve greater outcomes for those with eating disorders.
