COU – 600: Research Methods & Program Evaluation Southern New Hampshire University Draft of the Introduction to the Annotated Bibliography Research Question – What is the efficacy of Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT-E) when treating adults with an eating disorder? Problem – There are many adults who suffer from eating disorders throughout the duration of their lives. When in treatment, there is typically a combination of varying therapies including but not limited to CBT, DBT, ACT, nutritional therapies and relaxation techniques that are utilized to treat their eating disorder and comorbid ailments. Recently, there has been a development of a new form of CBT called CBT-E, which is short for Enhanced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This form of therapy focuses on the interaction between ones’ thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. The only difference is that CBT-E is devoted to these thoughts, behaviors, and emotions as they particularly pertain to factors, symptoms, etc. associated with eating disorders. The problem with this is that because it is still relatively new, there is a question of its’ efficacy. This is important to investigate because eating disorders are so prominent in our society and if there is going to be a form of CBT specifically devoted to the treatment of eating disorders, then it is important that this new form of therapy is further investigated. Purpose Statement – The purpose of this review of literature is to gain a more clear and concrete understanding of the efficacy of CBT-E in treating adults with eating disorders via the investigation of empirical studies and other forms of research and studies to support these perspectives with supportive and relevant evidence.
First Article – I chose this article because it allowed for there to be a conclusion drawn pertaining to the comparison of CBT-E and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) to see which was more efficient and effective in the treatment of eating disorders. By being able to compare the efficiency and efficacy of CBT-E to other forms of therapy this helps to provide supportive evidence for this new form of therapy being effective in treating adults with eating disorders.

Retrieved from A transdiagnostic comparison of enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) and interpersonal psychotherapy in the treatment of eating disorders - ScienceDirect Second Article – I chose this article because there was consistency between my research question and this articles’ main objective. There was a further examination of the efficacy and effectiveness of CBT-E for the treatment of adults and older adolescents suffering from eating disorders. This was done via a systematic search of PsycINFO and PubMed literature that helped to identify publications and trials/studies that were relevant in answering these questions.

Retrieved from A systematic review of enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT‐E) for ea...: Multi-Search (snhu.edu) Third Article – I chose this article for the following reasons. The first reason was because like the previous two articles mentioned there was a commonality between my research question and
the articles’ purpose trying to confirm the effectiveness of CBT-E in treating adults with eating disorders. A second reason though was because this particular article gave me a different perspective than the others by focusing on eating disorders not otherwise specified (EDNOS) instead of typical eating disorders such as Bulimia or Anorexia Nervosa for example. The third and final reason for my choosing this article was because to determine the effectiveness of CBT- E there was further examination into varying domains of ED pathology.
