Diagnosis-specific self-image predicts longitudinal suicidal ideation in adult eating disorders.

Findings are in line with research showing differential self-image-based prediction of important outcomes in ED, with noteworthy consistencies across diagnoses and suicidality variables. Strengths included the large sample, and limitations pertained to measures, attrition and Type II error risk. Replication is needed, but findings are consistent with some previous work and offers clinical and research implications.
