"Eating disorders are among the most common psychiatric disorders with especially high prevalence rates at the age between 15 and 19 years. Eating disorders - especially bulimia nervosa - are highly comorbid with borderline personality disorders. Dysfunctional emotion regulation has been identified as a core feature of eating disorders. Thus, during the last decades, understanding and treating emotion regulation difficulties has become a key issue in eating disorders research. A section on eating disorders within this journal is dedicated to research on a better understanding and treatment of dysfunctional emotion regulation in eating disorders."
