Call For Papers: Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders (SEED)

Many people with eating disorders respond well to treatment but a proportion, sadly, do not and they may develop a longstanding form of the eating disorder which has been termed SEED. In the Collection Severe and Enduring Eating Disorders (SEED) of the Journal of Eating Disorders we call for papers on this important topic. We will welcome submissions from early-stage investigators and those from occupational therapy, ethics, and other under-represented fields.
All types of articles will be considered, including reviews, research papers, case reports, and commentaries.

Guest Editors: Dr. Paul Robinson, Dr. Stephen Wonderlich, Dr. Geneviève Pepin, and Editors-in-Chief Prof. Phillipa Hay and Prof. Stephen Touyz.

Submission deadline: 28 February 2024

Call For Papers: Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder

New Content ItemAvoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) was officially introduced in the psychiatric nomenclature in 2013. In the last decade we have witnessed an explosion of research on this heterogeneous and prevalent condition. In this Special Issue of the Journal of Eating Disorders, we call for papers representing the latest understanding of the epidemiology; clinical phenomenology and differential diagnosis; pathophysiology; treatment; and course of ARFID across the lifespan. Topics of special interest include the line of distinction between ARFID and other restricting eating disorders characterized by more prominent shape and weight concerns; considerations for tailoring treatment; and ARFID in those with psychiatric and medical comorbidities. We will be especially receptive to submissions from early-stage investigators and those from backgrounds that are underrepresented in our field.

Guest Editors: Kendra Becker, PhD., Lauren Breithaupt, Ph.D., and Kamryn Eddy, Ph.D.

Submission deadline: 30 December 2023
