BackgroundEffective eating disorder (ED) treatments are drastically needed for patients with experiences of sustained and prolonged emotional, physical and sexual childhood maltreatment (CM) that often results in post‐traumatic sequelae such as severe, complex posttraumatic stress disorder (cPTSD). EDs with comorbid cPTSD (cPTSD‐ED) have protracted treatment courses and poorer prognoses.AimTo summarise the knowledge base on cPTSD‐ED with specific emphasis on disturbances in self‐organisation (DSO) in relation to therapeutic alliance (TA) processes.MethodExpert opinions based on current relevant literature are critically examined.ResultsPreliminary insights on change and alliance processes suggest that neglecting to address emotional‐relational processes in the conceptualisation and treatment of cPTSD‐ED impedes treatment progress.ConclusionWe hypothesise that the DSO construct inherent in cPTSD‐ED calls for a focus on TA processes in addition to traditional ED treatment elements such as nutritional rehabilitation and behaviour change, and regardless of ED treatment provided. More process research on a larger scale is urgently called for.
