Social processing and cognition are often altered in patients with eating disorders. The goal of this clinical trial is to assess two different social therapeutic interventions -- one educational, one interactive -- for their effectiveness in improving clinical outcomes in patients with eating disorders. Patients in both interventions will receive education about social function in eating disorders, but those in the interactive treatment group will complete an additional collaborative art task.
Participants will:
* attend a baseline study visit to complete clinical interviews, cognitive testing, and behavioral tasks
* complete a pre-intervention assessment with questionnaires
* attend eight sessions of their assigned treatment group over the course of 12 weeks
* complete three virtual follow-up assessments 4, 8, and 12 months from their baseline
* attend a final study visit to repeat some clinical interviews, cognitive testing, and behavioral tasks
Researchers will compare changes in eating disorder, mood, and anxiety symptoms as well as test results from baseline and final study visits for each group to see if
* patients can be treated effectively with education alone or if an interactive group component produces additional benefits
* cognitive and behavioral task performance are associated with recovery or illness state.
