Abstract:	Emotion regulation (ER) difficulties are observed in eating disorders (EDs). However, few studies have explored ER before and after treatment. The aims are: to explore ER difficulties across ED types and a healthy control (HC) group (Study 1) and to assess pre-post treatment changes across EDs types (Study 2). In study 1 adult women with EDs (n=438) and HC (n= 126) completed an assessment including Eating Disorders Inventory-2, Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale and Symptom-Checklist-90-Revised. Patients in study 2 (n=69) were also reassessed after treatment. All ED types reported worse ER compared to HC (p<. 001), also ER differences were found between EDs types. Prospective analyses show ER improvements after treatment (p<. 001; |d|=0. 51), especially in patients with bulimia nervosa (p<. 001; |d|=1. 03; RCI=9. 79) with greater improvement in those with a better treatment outcome (p=. 034). Conclusion Emotion dysregulation is a part of all forms of EDs. Furthermore this problem with emotional dysregulation can be modified by treatment for bulimia nervosa. ED treatments for AN and BED might be enhanced by targeting ER skills.
