Emotion regulation difficulties appear to play a role in the development and maintenance of several eating disorders. This pilot study aims at examining whether a short add-on group skills training in emotion regulation for young adults with different eating disorders is feasible in a psychiatric clinical setting.

Six skills training groups were piloted with a total of 29 participants (M = 21.41 years, SD = 1.92). The treatment consists of five sessions dealing with psychoeducation about emotions and emotion regulation skills training. Paired samples t-test was used to compare differences between before-and-after measures.

Approximately 30 families. Retrospective Random Controlled Research The research group - families that have completed an intervention program of "Active Maccabi" Northern Region, Israel,within the past two to three years. The families will be requested to attend a follow-up meeting of all family members in which they will answer questionnaires. Approximately 66 families. The control groups - families who did not participate in the program who have a child between the age 7-14 who has suffered from obesity/weight (over the past 2-3 years), in correlation with the child in the intervention group. Approximately 66 families. Hypotheses of the research: Status of the weight of the child being treated and of his siblings will be higher than that at the end of the program. Indication of the obesogenic environment of families participating in the program will be lower in comparison with families not participating in the program. The rate of eating disorder symptoms among children who participated in the program will be lower in comparison with those of the obese/overweight child in families who were not the program. The rate of eating disorder symptoms among siblings who participated in the program will be lower than that of siblings in families not in the program.
