Abstract:

Eating and Feeding Disorders (ED/FD) are multi-level conditions arising from dynamic interactions among biological, psychological, relational, and nutritional processes. Despite advances in multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary care, treatment remains fragmented, with parallel interventions and limited mechanistic integration.

This paper proposes a trans-disciplinary, mechanism-based framework that reorganises ED/FD care around shared constructs, coordinated mechanisms of change, unified outcome systems, and joint clinical decision-making. The model targets core transdiagnostic processes, including interoceptive dysregulation, avoidance, cognitive–affective rigidity, and relational dynamics, enabling synchronised intervention across domains and enhancing clinical coherence and continuity of care. Moving beyond role coordination, the framework shifts integration toward mechanism alignment, conceptualising treatment as a unified therapeutic system rather than a set of parallel inputs. To support real-world implementation, the model incorporates CFIR and RE-AIM frameworks, providing a structured approach to evaluating feasibility, fidelity, and sustainability.

This approach offers both a conceptual and operational advancement, with implications for service design, professional training, and outcome standardisation. Beyond ED/FD, it provides a scalable model for complex psychiatric conditions characterised by multi-level maintaining mechanisms.
