Abstract
High levels of comorbidity and complexity amongst eating disorder sufferers is associated with reduced treatment effectiveness and higher dropout. There is an urgent need for research into transdiagnostic treatment models that address comorbidity, particularly rigid personality traits and disorders, alongside eating disorder pathology. Schema therapy may be ideally suited due to its growing evidence base both for eating disorders and the comorbidities that often interfere with outcomes with this population.
