Abstract
:

Traumatic events, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and related symptoms are commonly associated with eating disorders (ED). Several clinical features indicative of a more severe and complex course have been associated with traumatized ED patients, especially those with PTSD, who may be more likely admitted to residential treatment (RT). Research in this population is sparse but of increasing interest.
