Over time, the EDI has gained popularity among eating disorder clinicians and researchers and has been revised twice. The EDI generates psychological profiles useful for case conceptualization and treatment planning for those with confirmed or suspected eating disorder diagnoses ( Garner et al., 1983 Garner, 2004) in contrast to the EDE-Q and the EAT-26 that are limited to measuring specific eating disorder symptoms. The EDI is a standardized, multiscale instrument designed to measure psychological traits or symptom clusters relevant to the development and maintenance of eating disorders.
