“…Regarding the course of the disorders, BN and BED are rather variable inter-and intra-individually and reveal higher rates of (spontaneous and treatment supported) remission rates (World Health Organization, 2018) than the other disorders mentioned. The experienced overcompleteness in BID, as well as the course of AN, BDD and MD usually are chronic untreated, and even with psychological treatment, still most of the patients do not reach remission (First and Fisher, 2011;Hartmann et al, 2013;Krebs et al, 2017;Waldorf et al, 2019a;Underwood and Olivardia, 2022). For BID the situation is even worse as there are currently no effective (non-invasive) treatments leading to a remission or cure of BID (Chakraborty et al, 2021), despite several suggestions (e.g., Ramachandran and McGeoch, 2007;Lenggenhager et al, 2014).…”

Many mental disorders are accompanied by distortions in the way the own body is perceived and represented (e.g., eating disorders, body dysmorphic disorder including muscle dysmorphia, or body integrity dysphoria). We are interested in the way these distortions develop and aim at better understanding their role in mental health across the lifespan. For this purpose, we first propose a conceptual framework of body representation that defines this construct and integrates different perspectives (e.g., cognitive neuroscience, clinical psychology) on body representations. The framework consists of a structural and a process model of body representation emphasizing different goals: the structural model aims to support researchers from different disciplines to structure results from studies and help collectively accumulate knowledge about body representations and their role in mental disorders. The process model is reflecting the dynamics during the information processing of body-related stimuli. It aims to serve as a motor for (experimental) study development on how distorted body representations emerge and might be changed. Second, we use this framework to review the normative development of body representations as well as the development of mental disorders that relate to body representations with the aim to further clarify the potential transdiagnostic role of body representations.
