Is the Single-Session Intervention for Eating Disorders safe for humans?
How is the Single-session Intervention Adaptation of the Habit Framework treatment different from other treatments for eating disorders?
This treatment is unique because it involves a single-session intervention (SSI), which is designed to be completed in just one encounter, making it highly accessible and potentially effective even if it's the only session a person attends. Unlike traditional treatments that require multiple sessions, SSIs aim to provide immediate support and target core mechanisms of eating disorders in a brief, focused manner.56789
