Abstract

Focusing on the severe negative impacts produced by eating disorders, this paper reviewed 23 literatures for summarizing recent findings on influencing factors and treatment methods of eating disorders. For influencing factors, self-esteem, while manipulating body dissatisfaction, is negatively correlated with the development of eating disorders. Perfectionism, or some of its components, has proved to have a direct relationship with the development of eating disorders. For treatments, enhanced cognitive-behavioral therapy is broadly recognized in its effectiveness and immense relief of eating disorder symptoms appeared in participants after treatment, whereas dialectical behavioral therapy seems to solely reduce the amount of time and effort consumed while treating. Additionally, dialectical behavioral therapy may address issues more related to emotional regulation and act as an adjunct to family-based treatment. Future studies are expected to cancel the dependence on correlations. Self-esteem and perfectionism are encouraged to be given more attention in daily life.
