| Abstract |
Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID), first introduced as an eating disorder in DSM-5, is characterized by avoidant/restrictive eating due to sensory sensitivities, fear of aversive consequences, or lack of interest in food/eating. Cognitive-behavior therapy for ARFID (CBT-AR) is a treatment for ARFID designed to reduce nutritional compromise and increase opportunities for exposure to novel foods, in turn reducing negative feelings and predictions about eating. CBT-AR is a flexible and modular outpatient treatment for children, adolescents, and adults with ARFID. Treatment spans 20–30 sessions and is appropriate for individuals with ARFID who are medically stable, currently accepting at least some food by mouth, and not receiving enteral feeding. CBT-AR contains four stages (psychoeducation and early change, treatment planning, addressing maintaining mechanisms, and relapse prevention). Data suggest that CBT-AR is an effective and efficient treatment in expanding dietary intake by volume and variety. |
