Relevance of Studies On Attentional Biases On The Treatment of Eating Disorders
In conclusion, there are many different studies that have been performed to try to determine if attentional bias has an effect on eating disorders. According to the studies previously discussed it seems that the hypothesis is supported and that attentional bias has an effect on eating disorders, on how a person restricts their diet and body dissatisfaction. These studies are important to the field because they can lead to better intervention strategies when it comes to counseling individuals with eating disorders. Jansen’s (2005) experiment can lead counselors and other therapists to build a program in order to help eating disorder patients to feel better about their bodies by creating a positive bias.

They were the first authors to state that children must obey God rather than parents, in case of a clear conflict.”
—C. John Sommerville (20th century)
