“…The associations between eating pathology and attachment insecurity, were stronger for global ED pathology, as well as across all subscales for attachment anxiety than with attachment avoidance. Accordingly, these tendencies toward attachment anxiety were also found, for example, in Tasca and Balfour (2014) and Klein et al (2022) .…”

“…To this end, mediation models by Tasca et al (2009) found partial mediation effects through emotional reactivity on the relationship between attachment insecurity and eating disorder symptomatology, among other factors. Furthermore, Klein et al (2022) demonstrated associations between attachment anxiety and eating disorder symptoms. This association was fully mediated by personality functioning in a path analysis.…”

“…From a psychodynamic perspective, EDs are hypothesized to be related to deficits in the interactive regulation of emotional states, due to early interpersonal and familial patterns characterized by entanglement and emotional neglect [91]. More specifically, research has shown that attachment insecurity may be pivotal for determining the onset, maintenance, and course of eating pathologies [92]. For instance, empirical studies have found that maladaptive perfectionism, hypermentalization, and difficulties in emotion regulation mediate the effects of insecure attachment on ED symptomatology; furthermore, maladaptive affect regulation associated with attachment insecurity may play a key role in the expression and maintenance of disordered eating and ED symptoms [93].…”

“…For instance, empirical studies have found that maladaptive perfectionism, hypermentalization, and difficulties in emotion regulation mediate the effects of insecure attachment on ED symptomatology; furthermore, maladaptive affect regulation associated with attachment insecurity may play a key role in the expression and maintenance of disordered eating and ED symptoms [93]. Overall, research suggests that attachment-related internal working models, which have their roots in early caregiving relationships, might lead to difficulties in affect regulation, perfectionism, and adult attachment insecurity that, in turn, may determine higher vulnerability to ED symptoms, including body dissatisfaction [92].…”

“…Their course is known to be complicated by persisting PD, but with PD remission, concomitant improvement of mental distress and symptom disorders is also described (29)(30)(31)(32). Such parallel developments suggest an important interplay between mental distress and personality dysfunction (33)(34)(35)(36)(37). In studies of PD treatments, measures of symptom distress are usually included among outcomes (38)(39)(40).…”
