Eating Disorders (ED) are one of the diseases that most affect the young population, being in most cases of chronic course and generating numerous consequences, including deficiencies in cognitive functioning manifested by cognitive rigidity and/or weak central coherence. These difficulties at the cognitive level have been identified as maintainers of ED. The objective of this program was to design a cognitive stimulation intervention program based on Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) (Tchanturia & Hambrook, 2010). This intervention is complementary to the usual treatments and seeks to cognitively stimulate the participants through cognitive and behavioral tasks, as well as providing strategies that can also be applied in daily life. This intervention proposal includes nine sessions between 45 minutes and one hour, to be held twice a week. These sessions contents are: psychoeducation on cognitive impairments and CRT, problem solving, training of executive functions, working memory, basic psychological processes, cognitive flexibility and central coherence, and modeling activities. The following questionnaires were used for the evaluation of this program: the Eating Disorders Inventory (EDI-2), the Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS), the Obsessions and Compulsions Inventory-Revised (OCI-R), the CAMBIOS test and the Navon task.
