My name is Katerina Rinaldi and I am a fourth-year doctoral student at Nova Southeastern University in the United States. I am conducting a dissertation study, and I am seeking participants who are currently receiving treatment for an eating disorder. The goal of the study is a better understanding of the role of basic emotions in avoidance and eating disorder symptoms, with the ultimate goal of improving treatment outcomes.
