OBJECTIVE: This paper overviews the issue of validity testing for eating disorder diagnoses. METHOD: A variety of different approaches to validity testing are reviewed, with an emphasis on clinically oriented validity testing for the DSM-V. RESULTS: Validators of eating disorder diagnoses are likely to vary in terms of their scientific and clinical utility. Given that the DSM-V is a clinical document, validators which provide predictive clinical information will be most useful. CONCLUSION: Clinicians and researchers alike may differ in their approach to validating eating disorder diagnoses depending on the purpose of the validation.
