What this trial studies

This observational study aims to improve treatment outcomes for patients with eating disorders by investigating the role of self-efficacy at the start of treatment. It will assess whether higher levels of self-efficacy predict better treatment outcomes and whether self-efficacy improves during the course of treatment. Participants will undergo Cognitive Behavior Therapy - Ten (CBT-T) and complete questionnaires at the beginning, during, and at the end of their treatment. The study will also explore correlations between self-efficacy, autonomous motivation, and self-esteem.
