Eating disorders and therapy Books

Book SynopsisParents are the first to know when their child starts behaving differently. Has your son stopped eating his favorite food, or does he refuse to eat out with friends? Has your daughter drastically increased her exercise regimen, or become obsessed with health foods? These are among the telltale signs that your child, like millions of others, may have an eating disorder (ED). In this essential guide, registered dietitians Casey Crosbie and Wendy Sterling introduce an all-new strategy you can use to help your child at home. The Plate-by-Plate approach is rooted in family-based treatment (FBT)—the leading psychological therapy for EDs. Unlike complicated “exchange” systems, this is simple: Crosbie and Sterling coach you through every aspect of meeting your child’s nutritional needs, using just one tool—a ten-inch plate.

This is the single most important professionally written book for laypersons and parents. -- Shervert H. Frazier, M.D., McLean HospitalTable of Contents1. The Hunger Disease 2. Sparrow in a Cage 3.

Written in a lively, accessible style, it is designed to give readers a basic understanding of the topic and a platform from which to expand their knowledge of this area.

Book SynopsisHealthy Food: Perspectives, Availability and Consumption first explores the pathological form of healthy eating, orthorexia nervosa. Although orthorexia nervosa cannot be found in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric Association, important findings suggest that orthorexia nervosa should receive wider scientific and public attention. Additionally, the current literature regarding the effects of healthy foods and early feeding practices in childhood is explored in the context of the primordial prevention of non-communicable diseases and their risk factors. This compilation also examines carrot bagasse flour and banana peel flour for their potential to be employed as functional ingredients to improve the texture, color, and flavor of raw meat products, as chorizo, or cooked meat products, as sausages. Candelilla wax oleogel is investigated for its potential to replace pork back fat lard in cooked sausages, specifically focusing on its textural profile, moisture, color, and sensory acceptance. Results indicate that candelilla wax oleogel can be employed as a fat replacement, improving the health profile of certain meat products.Table of ContentsPreface; What We Know so Far about Orthorexia Nervosa: A Review; How Healthy Foods and Early Feeding Practices Can Be Effective in Primordial Prevention of Non-Communicable Diseases; Functional Ingredients and Food Neophobia Towards Healthy Meat Products Enriched with Agroindustrial Coproducts Flours; Candelilla Wax as Oil Restructuring Agent as Fat Replacer to Formulate Healthy Cooked Sausages; Bibliography; Related Nova Publications; Index.

Book SynopsisThis is a book that attempts to propose itself as a new trigger in the wide world of anorexia nervosa. The originality of its proposal consists in approaching anorexia nervosa, not only by endocrinological and psychological perspectives, but also by anthropological, philosophical and ethical point of view. In this way it''s not only an update of specific literature, but also an integration with a new method to study this condition. The purpose of the book is to approach anorexia nervosa from different points of view, to reach a new interpretation which involves notions from biological and human sciences interpreted in a unique model and which could allow a new method of treatment.

Book SynopsisThe aim of this book is to illustrate a variant of the standard cognitive treatment for eating disorders. This therapy is based on the principle that assessing and treating the patient''s process of worry and sense of control fosters greater understanding of the psychopathology of the eating disorder and increases the efficacy of cognitive treatment. The book is an edited collection of chapters that discuss the psychopathological roles played by control and worry in eating disorders, and provide a detailed description of the therapeutic protocol, which primarily focuses on the treatment of the cognitive factors of control and worry as core factor of a psychotherapy of eating disorders. In addition, the book shows contributions from other theorists in the field who have investigated the role of worry, preoccupation, and control, or who explore the connections between worry, control, and other emotional factors underlying eating disorders, such as perfectionism, self-esteem, and impulsivity.

Book SynopsisThe Boardman Tasker Prize for Mountain Literature 2023 2023 Banff Mountain Book Award finalist in Mountain Literature "As a teen phenomenon, Katie Brown raised the bar to a whole new level. Unraveled is an honest and bold recounting of how Katie was able to navigate the dark days of her childhood to become a world champion climber, mother, and amazing human being." --Lynn Hill, author of Climbing Free: My Life in the Vertical World As a teenager in the 1990s, Katie Brown was one of climbing's first "comp kids"--a young natural who, along with her peers, redefined the image of a strong and successful climber. After climbing for less than two years, Brown won her first junior national title. The next year she became the Junior World Champion at age 14 in Laval, France. In 1996 she won both the Rock Master--a prestigious international contest in Arco, Italy--and the esteemed X-Games. From 1996 on, Brown won every US Adult National that she entered, as well as a World Cup Title in France in 1999. Yet even as she reigned on the podium, Brown felt her life begin to unravel. A quiet child, she struggled with a home life that was very different behind closed doors than it seemed on television. A fundamentalist version of Christianity was at the center of the household, and Brown fought to live according to rules that were strict, ever-changing, and irrational. Isolated and feeling hopeless, Brown latched onto food as something she could control. She quit competitive climbing and bounced in and out of the industry, eventually disappearing in her late twenties. Now, more than two decades later, Brown is ready to share her story. Unraveled answers the question thousands of fans worldwide have wondered: "What ever happened to Katie Brown?"Trade ReviewHonest and raw.--Leslie Hsu Oh "American Alpine Journal" Katie Brown's book Unraveled broke my heart. I'm glad I read it.--Delaney Miller "Climbing Magazine" Tensions lie at the heart of Unraveled, Katie Brown...explores these tensions in an unapologetic way all the while staying close to events as they were experienced at the time.--Tom Valis "Gripped Magazine" Beautifully written, Unraveled is the story of overcoming darkness both within and from without. In this unflinching memoir, Katie Brown pulls back the veil on her desperate struggle with anorexia and the fallout of years of brutal emotional abuse, all while competing at the very highest levels on the international climbing scene. Her vulnerability is sure to help others conquer their own battles and inspire them to push beyond all limitations.--Ben Moon "Ben Moon, photographer and author of Denali: A Man, A Dog, a" Unraveled takes on a summit of its own. Through raw vulnerability and honesty, Katie Brown inspires the world of climbing in this riveting page turner. This coming-of-age memoir is a must-read.--Sasha DiGiulian "professional climber and founder of SEND bars"

Book SynopsisIt should not surprise us that so many are finding unique value in the experiential techniques. The fact that eating-disordered patients adopt physical and often complex metaphoric means of expressing their emotional pain suggests the difficulty we are likely to encounter in asking them to articulate the inarticulable. In moving to spatial, kinesthetic, and symbolic expression, we are, in a sense, agreeing to speak the patient's language rather than our own.Given the very nature of eating disorders, many clinicians are finding that experiential methods are particularly applicable for treating patients who suffer from them. Providing a valuable new tool for practitioners, EXPERIENTIAL THERAPIES FOR EATING DISORDERS is the first text to focus solely on the application of expressive therapies and experiential techniques to the treatment of anorexia nervosa and bulimia.Each chapter of this innovative work systematically reviews a single experiential treatment approach. ATrade ReviewProvides practitioners with a wealth of ideas on how to work with eating-disordered patients by doing, rather than by just talking. - Contemporary PsychologyTable of Contents1.

Book SynopsisIllustrating the whats, whys, and how-tos of the leading evidence-based treatments for eating disorders, this unique volume is organized around in-depth cases. A range of therapies are represented in sections covering behavioral, cognitive, affect-based, relational, and integrative approaches. Each section opens with an instructive overview by the editor. The expert contributors show what their techniques look like in action with patients struggling with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and related problems. Cases cover the entire process of treatment and include therapist-patient dialogues. The essential role of assessment in treatment planning and progress monitoring is highlighted, with detailed descriptions of relevant instruments and procedures.Trade Review"This outstanding casebook fills an important gap in the literature. It offers both a comprehensive account of the leading contemporary evidence-based treatments for eating disorders and an 'in-the-trenches' description (including session transcripts) of how to actually conduct them. Each chapter illustrates the use of objective measures to track symptom changes over the course of treatment. The contributors are expert clinician-researchers, and the cases are written in an engaging style. An excellent resource for trainees and experienced therapists alike."--Debra L. Safer, MD, ABPN, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University School of Medicine "A practical guide for students and practitioners seeking to expand their base of clinical knowledge. This book offers the unique opportunity to receive clear, concise instructions for implementing a diverse range of eating disorder interventions. The contributors are leading proponents of each approach."--Michael Strober, PhD, ABPP, Resnick Endowed Professor of Eating Disorders and Psychiatry, David Geffen School of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles "In this exceptional volume, prominent authorities in the field of eating disorders illustrate their distinct approaches to treatment. The cases show in detail how to assess and treat eating disorders. Clinicians can learn to deliver treatment effectively--including what to say and do--no matter which treatment approach they choose. Based on an empirical foundation, this book will be invaluable to mental health practitioners."--Sabine Wilhelm, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, Harvard Medical School; Chief of Psychology, Massachusetts General Hospital "This innovative book provides a unique integration of clinical techniques, treatment description, and in-depth case material. The chapters provide comprehensive information, enabling the reader to understand not only the content of each psychotherapeutic approach, but also how to implement the interventions. Notably, chapter authors are experts in both established and emerging evidence-based eating disorder treatments. Eloquently written, this casebook is an essential resource for clinicians, researchers, trainees, and students in the field of eating disorders. It is a significant, invaluable contribution."--Carol B. Peterson, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Minnesota Medical School -This book offers numerous insights for therapists….The extensive use of excerpts from clinical practice (from both actual and composite client sessions) bring the chapters to life in a way that allows the reader to experience how the interventions may be used in practice….I found this book informative and constructive in thinking about how I might develop my clinical work with clients presenting with eating disorders. Each chapter is well referenced and offers enough depth of description to allow the practitioner to take something away to use in his or her own practice….This is a well-presented and information-packed book for anyone interested in working effectively with clients presenting with eating disorders.--Private Practice, 7/1/2016Table of ContentsGeneral Introduction, Heather Thompson-Brenner I.

Book SynopsisPacked with useful clinical tools, this state-of-the-art manual presents an empirically supported treatment solidly grounded in current scientific knowledge. Integrative cognitive-affective therapy for bulimia nervosa (ICAT-BN) has a unique emphasis on emotion. Interventions focus on helping clients understand the links between emotional states and BN as they work to improve their eating behaviors, defuse the triggers of bulimic episodes, and build crucial emotion regulation skills. In a large-size format for easy photocopying, the book includes 47 reproducible handouts. Purchasers get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"Written by an internationally renowned team of eating disorder experts, this book presents a cutting-edge approach to treating BN. ICAT-BN is founded on decades of scientific research into what works in the treatment of psychopathology, and introduces a novel framework for integrating new and established strategies and techniques. This gem of a book is a valuable resource for clinicians."--Ruth Striegel Weissman, PhD, Walter A. Crowell University Professor of the Social Sciences, Wesleyan University "This manual intertwines clinical insights and extensive scientific inquiry. The authors have successfully mapped out their innovative intervention, clearly describing the processes and techniques needed for change and providing a practical plan. The book is rich with clinical examples and clever, meaningful teaching strategies. This is a wonderful addition to the clinician's toolkit and an example of successful translation for the scientist."--Janet Treasure, PhD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Director, Eating Disorders Research Unit, Kings College London, United Kingdom "Wonderlich and colleagues provide elegant conceptual models of the onset and maintenance of BN, integrating findings from psychological science and their own innovative work on the moment-to-moment cognitive and emotional context of disordered eating behaviors. The models are linked to a series of therapeutic strategies and specific interventions, including reproducible patient handouts. A beautifully realized manual."--Marsha D. Marcus, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine "Practical, comprehensive, evidence based--if you are going to buy one book on the treatment of BN, this should be it! The heart of the book is the detailed, practical recommendations for treatment that can only come from a group of highly experienced clinicians. ICAT-BN is a compelling integration of three decades of clinical research and practice by some of the field's most rigorous thought leaders. Wonderlich et al. artfully address the dual importance of behavioral symptom management and the often-neglected role of the therapeutic relationship in psychotherapy effectiveness. They also offer a unique perspective on emotional dysregulation as a trigger for binge eating."--Craig Johnson, PhD, FAED, Chief Science Officer and Director of the Family Institute, Eating Recovery Center, Denver, Colorado -This is a recommended book. It would be a valuable addition to any graduate clinical psychology, social work, or psychiatric residency program where eating disorders and specifically, management of BN is discussed.--Child and Family Behavior Therapy, 7/3/2017Table of ContentsIntroduction I.

Book SynopsisAcclaimed for its encyclopedic coverage, this is the only handbook that synthesizes current knowledge and clinical practices in the fields of both eating disorders and obesity. Like the prior editions, the significantly revised third edition features more than 100 concise, focused chapters with lists of key readings in place of extended references. All aspects of eating disorders and obesity are addressed by foremost clinical researchers: classification, causes, consequences, risk factors, and pathophysiology, as well as prevention, treatment, assessment, and diagnosis. New to This Edition *Reflects 15 years of important advances in both fields, including state-of-the-art intervention approaches and a growing focus on how the brain regulates eating behavior. *Dozens of entirely new chapters. *New topics: epigenetics, body weight and neurocognitive function, stress and emotion regulation, the gut microbiome, surgical devices for obesity, food labeling and marketinTrade Review"Although the fields of obesity and eating disorders still sit side by side with only tentative tendrils combining them, this handbook, over subsequent editions, is helping to foster needed integration. The brief, easily read chapters in the third edition provide an up-to-date and comprehensive survey of both fields."--W. Stewart Agras, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Emeritus), Stanford University "This thoroughly updated handbook once again assembles a world-class roster of authors to cover the state of the science in eating and weight disorders. The third edition features important new discoveries across a broad disciplinary spectrum. Grounded in research and offering well-selected recommendations for follow-up reading, this is a valuable text for courses in eating disorders, obesity, and behavioral health (to name a few). Written in clear and compelling prose, the book is a 'must read' for anyone who wants to understand and find practical solutions to the challenges and suffering that arise from eating and weight disorders.”--Ruth Striegel Weissman, PhD, Walter A. Crowell University Professor of the Social Sciences, Wesleyan University "An exceptionally well-crafted work. The fields addressed are covered broadly and deeply, yet surprisingly succinctly--a remarkable amount of material is packed into these pages. The third edition has been updated and expanded considerably, and covers developing areas of growing importance, as well as clinical and research questions that are often overlooked. The authors are the leaders in their disciplines, often the primary contributors in each field. This handbook will remain a central text for many years; I highly recommend it for practitioners, researchers, and students in various clinical and basic science fields."--James E. Mitchell, MD, The Lee A. Christoferson Chair in Neuroscience Research and Chester Fritz Distinguished University Professor, University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences "This authoritative work examines multiple rapidly evolving facets of a highly complex area. The volume takes a 'deep dive' into the concepts and latest developments pertaining to understanding and treatment of eating disorders and obesity, including advances across medical disciplines and the behavioral sciences. It is a 'must have' for students and clinicians."--Louis J. Aronne, MD, FACP, DABOM, Sanford I.

Book SynopsisThis is the first book to present a roadmap for tailoring acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to the serious, complex challenges of anorexia nervosa (AN). Leading authorities describe interventions grounded in ACT core processes--Defusion, Acceptance, Attention to the Present Moment, Self-Awareness, Values, and Committed Action. Guidance is provided for conducting functional assessments with adolescents and adults and working toward individualized treatment goals, starting with weight restoration. The book also discusses ways to engage parents and other family members in treatment. It features therapist scripts, sample dialogues, case examples, and reproducible forms and handouts. The large-size format facilitates photocopying; purchasers also get access to a Web page where they can download and print the reproducible materials.Trade Review"A treasure trove of clinically useful material aimed at helping individuals change restrictive eating patterns. The principles of ACT, including the use of patients' own values and beliefs to inform their behavioral choices, are well matched to the needs of individuals with AN. With clarity and compassion, the authors offer the clinician practical strategies to help patients move toward health."--Evelyn Attia, MD, Department of Psychiatry, Columbia University Medical Center; Director, Center for Eating Disorders, New York Presbyterian Hospital "This book sits atop a growing body of evidence that psychological flexibility is of direct relevance to patients struggling with AN. It is one thing to know that a set of change processes are relevant, and another to learn how best to target them. This book is the first comprehensive attempt to teach providers how to treat AN using a rich variety of techniques drawn from ACT and the third wave of cognitive-behavioral therapy. ACT is early in its journey as an evidence-based approach in this area, but this well-written book opens up new pathways to explore when existing gold-standard approaches are not enough. Highly recommended."--Steven C. Hayes, PhD, codeveloper of ACT; Foundation Professor of Psychology, University of Nevada, Reno "This book is a gift--it is an accessible read that offers a wealth of new ways to respond to the unrelenting rigidity that can characterize restrictive eating behaviors. Extensive client–therapist dialogues and clinical metaphors help clinicians decode the atypical thinking that supports excessive restriction and illustrate a fresh approach to treatment. The authors are highly experienced, and their personal responses throughout the manual provide much-needed validation for therapists working to manage their own reactions to these challenging clients."--Linda W. Craighead, PhD, Department of Psychology, Emory University “This book gives us the rarest of combinations--authors with a strong command of assessment and treatment of AN, and a stunning array of clinician support tools that allow even the novice therapist to execute the ACT approach with a high degree of fidelity. The writing style is intensely practical; many highly informative case examples and clinical dialogues demonstrate the core features of ACT. The authors do a wonderful job of constructing a biopsychosocial treatment framework that flawlessly balances the role of psychological and medical interventions."--Kirk Strosahl, PhD, co-developer of ACT “The authors have provided an invaluable volume for those interested in understanding or treating this vexing, challenging illness. ACT is particularly well suited to address the cognitive rigidity, avoidance of emotion, and narrowing of experience that characterize AN, and to promote the clarification of personal values needed to build a meaningful life. The book is rich with clinical examples and transcripts, as well as therapist resources and reproducible tools."--Marsha D.

Book SynopsisLet Go of Emotional Overeating and Love Your Food is for anyone who would like to eat whatever they like, yet stop just at the point of satisfaction without overeating. Written by a Columbia University trained psychotherapist and former emotional overeater, Let Go of Emotional Overeating and Love Your Food offers psychologically sound techniques for recognizing the symptoms of emotional overeating and methods for addressing it in ways that are both effective and enjoyable. Readers will learn how to become aware of the difference between eating in a healthy way and eating emotionally – neither to satisfy hunger, nor for enjoyment, but in a desperate attempt to distract oneself from painful thoughts and feelings. Diets don’t work for people who eat through their emotions. Instead, learning to recognize the stressors that lead to emotional eating and to address those tensions through other methods besides eating is the goal. When we handle stress well away from the table, we’re free to relax and really savor our food when we choose to eat. Proven techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) are presented in an innovative, easy-to-remember way. Learning to eat mindfully, for health and enjoyment, becomes the goal, and Arlene Englander walks readers through table techniques designed to make mindful eating easier, habitual, and ultimately second-nature. Allowing for both fun foods and healthy foods, Englander’s approach emphasizes eating healthfully and being aware of best practices and the behavioral objectives of coping with stress, exercising regularly, mindful eating, good nutrition and hydration, and controlling overeating situations. She addresses late-night eating, parties, vacation, and other situations where overindulging may be a risk. She concludes with a prescription that is meant to last so that readers can love their food for a lifetime.Trade ReviewFor those who use food to self-soothe, Englander’s approach to a healthier relationship with food might be a good fit. A psychotherapist and self-confessed compulsive overeater, Englander convincingly and appealingly observes that “it’s great to be free from dieting yet still be slim and fit.” In fact, throw out the concept of diets, which Englander says are counterproductive. Diets turn off “our awareness of hunger and satiety,” so instead, Englander focuses on learning how to savor meals. Englander asks thoughtful and probing questions throughout, while also making liberal use of anecdotes to provide encouraging and empirical examples of healthy behaviors. She puts forward the mnemonic device SELF (stress, exercise, love your food, fluids and healthy foods) as a way to remind oneself to make behavioral changes, such as not always totally clearing one’s plate, or learning to enjoy exercise. Quick discussions of how childhood affects lifelong attitudes toward food and how work environments can encourage overeating provide additional food for thought. Englander provides readers with a start on the right path to healthy eating. * Publishers Weekly *Licensed, practicing psychotherapist Englander provides the kind of mental support and exercises needed to conquer emotional habits. . . . [H]er combination of a well-written narrative and a plethora of patient anecdotes give readers a sense of hope and, more than likely, some different strategies. . . . Readers will appreciate Englander's cogent approach to an often difficult and disliked subject. * Booklist *Clear, accessible, and full of common-sense, this book can help you re-negotiate a love-hate relationship with food, undo patterns of emotional eating, and gain self-awareness and self-compassion. Arlene Englander will be your perfect guide. Her wisdom and experience spring forth from every page. -- Hope Edelman, author of New York Times Best Seller, Motherless DaughtersArlene Englander does a masterful job of translating complex emotions and belief systems into easy-to-understand language. Challenge yourself to be healthier and read this book! -- Marshall Teitelbaum, MD, Atlantic Psychiatric CareLet Go of Emotional Eating is a comprehensive, step-by-step guide to ending emotional eating once and for all.

Book SynopsisIn this seminal work, leading clinicians and researchers present the major treatments for eating disorders, including cognitive-behavioral, educational, psychodynamic, feminist, family-based, and medical approaches. Therapeutic approaches are described in step-by-step detail and illustrated with extensive case material. Several chapters function as self-contained treatment manuals, enabling practitioners to easily learn and implement each model, as well as adapt it to suit the needs of individual patients. The volume also covers diagnosis, assessment, sequencing of treatments, and ways to manage frequently encountered co-occurring problems.Trade ReviewThe book edited by these authors in 1985 on the treatment of eating disorders was the standard at that time. This new volume, which has contributions by the leading authorities in each field, is a worthy successor. It is an important new reference and is likely to be the new standard for the field of eating disorders. --Walter H. Kaye, MD, Director, Eating Disorder Program, Department of Psychiatry, University of PittsburghWritten by an internationally renowned group of experts, this state-of-the-art compendium is an essential companion for clinicians working with eating disorders. --David B. Herzog, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital ResearchThe Handbook of Treatments for Eating Disorders is a stunning achievement.

Book SynopsisThis innovative scientific reference and clinical tool is virtually two books in one. Part I thoroughly yet succinctly reviews the literature on binge-eating disorder, covering diagnosis and epidemiology, clinical features and course, links to obesity, medical risks, and current treatment data. Part II provides an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment manual. Session-by-session guidelines address how to help individuals or groups change their eating behavior, cope with emotional triggers, restructure problematic thoughts, deal with body image concerns and associated problems, maintain improvement, and prevent relapse. Featured are more than 40 clearly explained homework assignments and handouts, all in a large-size format with permission to photocopy. Trade Review"Disorders of appetite control have a major cost for individuals and society. Even though there is uncertainty about whether binge eating disorder is a distinct diagnostic entity, there is no doubt that this is a common source of distress and disability. This book is an essential tool for clinicians and students. The research evidence has been extracted and analyzed in a readily accessible format, and ambiguities and uncertainties in the field are clearly presented. The cognitive-behavioral intervention model in the second part of the book is an excellent example of how science can be translated into treatment."--Janet Treasure, PhD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Eating Disorders Research Unit, Department of Academic Psychiatry, Guy's Hospital, London, UK"This book combines a thoughtful consideration of the status of binge-eating disorder together with a manual for a multimodal treatment program that has been in use for a decade and has been tested in controlled trials. It will be useful for both psychologists and psychiatrists in training, as well as practitioners."--W. Stewart Agras, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (Emeritus), Stanford University"In the years since the formulation of provisional diagnostic criteria for binge-eating disorder (BED), research on this problem has proliferated. Now a group of the foremost experts in the field have compiled a comprehensive volume that provides state-of-the-art information on all aspects of BED. This book is an invaluable resource for researchers, clinicians, and educators, and a 'must' for all serious students of eating disorders."--Marsha D. Marcus, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine; Chief, Eating Disorders Program, Western Psychiatric Institute and Clinic"A splendid contribution by a seasoned, expert team of authors. The volume combines first-class scholarship with clinical wisdom and practical experience, and succeeds admirably in providing a comprehensive yet succinct summary of the state of the art and science in this field. Essential reading for clinicians, who will especially appreciate the user-friendly, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment program."--G. Terence Wilson, PhD, Oscar K. Buros Professor of Psychology, Rutgers University; Director, Rutgers Eating Disorders Clinic- This book contains concise and useful information for the clinician and a practical manualized cognitive-behavioral treatment for BED. --Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, 10/20/2007ƒƒ This is an excellent book....It covers all of the current research and clinical treatment guidelines clearly and succinctly.

Book SynopsisAn indispensable clinical resource, this groundbreaking book is the first treatment manual to focus specifically on adolescent bulimia nervosa. The authors draw on their proven approach to treating anorexia nervosa in the family context and adapt it to the unique needs of this related yet distinct clinical population. Evidence-based strategies are presented for helping the whole family collaborate to bring dysfunctional eating behaviors under control, while also addressing co-occurring psychological problems and parent–child relationship conflicts. Highly practical, the book shows exactly how to carry out this time-limited therapy and what to do when problems arise. Special features include annotated session transcripts and answers to frequently asked questions.Trade Review"When treating adolescents with bulimia nervosa, clinicians owe it to their patients to consider how family involvement might benefit treatment. This welcome book is authored by two of our most esteemed authorities on family-based intervention for eating disorders. Grounded in extensive research and practice, the manual offers theoretical perspectives, a clear rationale for the treatment, and practical instruction on implementing the techniques. The evidence-based approach and excellent clinical illustrations provided by Le Grange and Lock will enrich the therapeutic armamentarium of novices and experienced clinicians alike."--Joel Yager, MD, Department of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences, University of New Mexico School of Medicine; past president, Academy for Eating Disorders "The family-based approach has offered patients a genuine paradigm shift in the treatment of eating disorders, and real hope for recovery from a complex illness. Le Grange and Lock build here on their authoritative manual for the treatment of adolescent anorexia to deliver the first such manual for adolescent bulimia. This book is essential reading for those who seek empirically based, therapeutically sound treatments for children and adolescents with eating disorders."--Leslie A. Sim, PhD, Department of Psychology and Psychiatry, Mayo Clinic "Le Grange and Lock have written an eminently practical guide. Their approach emphasizes a positive view of parents, as agents in reestablishing healthy eating for adolescents with bulimia nervosa; of the family, as a resource for recovery; and of adolescents themselves, as competent and autonomous--except in relation to their disordered eating. Detailed case studies show how the therapist can model uncritical acceptance of the patient and separate the illness from the individual. This book belongs in the library of any professional who treats eating disorders."--Richard E. Kreipe, MD, Department of Pediatrics, University of Rochester Medical Center "This is a seminal resource for both researchers and clinicians. Not only will this book assist in understanding the dynamics and treatment for families with a child with bulimia nervosa, but the comparisons presented with families with a child with anorexia nervosa also help to solidify understanding of those dynamics as well. A very thoughtful and thorough presentation."--Nancy Zucker, PhD, Duke Eating Disorder Program, Duke University Medical Center "Written by two specialists on eating disorders, this book provides a detailed description of a family-based treatment for adolescents with bulimia nervosa. Practical in orientation and comprehensive in scope, this is an invaluable resource for clinicians."--Christopher G. Fairburn, OBE, DM, FRCPsych, FMedSci, Department of Psychiatry, Warneford Hospital, University of Oxford, United Kingdom "A welcome companion to the Treatment Manual for Anorexia Nervosa, this practical guide to treating bulimia nervosa in young people provides step-by-step guidance for clinicians experienced in working with young people and their families. Written by leaders in the field, the manual brings transparency of process and purpose to the treatment of what can be complex clinical problems. The authors' personal experience translating theory into practice and dealing with the real issues encountered in therapy is evident throughout. I would recommend this book to anyone new to working with young people with eating disorders."--Dasha Nicholls, MD, PhD, Head, Feeding and Eating Disorders Service, Great Ormond Street Hospital and the Institute of Child Health, London, UK - A theoretical, yet easy-to-follow manual combining case studies with theory and examples of the practice approach. Highly practical, the book shows evidence-based strategies for practitioners to best support adolescent sufferers of bulimia, while helping the family develop skills to cope with the complexities of the illness and to work collaboratively to bring the eating behaviours under control....This is an extremely useful tool for therapists working with adolescents and their families. --Addiction Today, 6/21/2009ƒƒ Most therapy manuals suffer from one of two excesses. They are either overly theoretical, and hence very dreary to read, or they are little more than a series of case examples or anecdotes, providing entertaining reading but inadequate instruction. Treating Bulimia solves these problems in a simple and effective manner. It presents a chapter outlining the theory and practice of the approach, followed by the same material in Action, in which an extended case example illustrates the material presented in the previous chapter. No matter what one's learning style, at least one of the elements of Treating Bulimia will resonate with the reader. For those who like to know the rationale behind techniques, the theory chapters explicitly tell us how to carry out the session...followed by why....Treating Bulimia is most useful for the practicing therapist who works with adolescents and their families and wants to improve his or her skills in treating bulimia. --Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic, 6/21/2009Table of Contents1.

Book SynopsisBringing together leading authorities, this comprehensive volume integrates the best current knowledge and treatment approaches for eating disorders in children and adolescents. The book reveals how anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and other disorders present differently developmentally and explains their potentially far-reaching impact on psychological, physical, and neurobiological development. It provides guidelines for developmentally sound assessment and diagnosis, with attention to assessment challenges unique to this population. Detailed descriptions of evidence-based therapies are illustrated with vivid case examples. Promising directions in prevention are also addressed. A special chapter offers a parent's perspective on family treatment.Trade Review"As a clinician who engages families in the treatment of eating disorders, I cannot think of a more comprehensive, authoritative, and thoughtfully curated collection of knowledge about these complex disorders. With its groundbreaking focus on the fundamental developmental nature of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, Eating Disorders in Children and Adolescents asks meaningful questions, broadens our understanding, sharpens our efforts, and strengthens our resolve."--Leslie Sim, PhD, ABPP, Clinical Director, Mayo Inpatient Eating Disorders Program; Department of Psychiatry and Psychology, Mayo Graduate School of Medicine "An authoritative and comprehensive guide to the assessment and treatment of eating disorders in children and adolescents.

No previous book has addressed this subject in such detail. The 25 chapters, written by leaders in the field, provide a comprehensive, scholarly, and clinically useful review of all major topics pertaining to individuals with eating disorders in this age group. I highly recommend this book to all clinicians who work with patients with eating disorders."--James E. Mitchell, MD, The Lee A. Christoferson Chair in Neuroscience Research and Chester Fritz Distinguished University Professor, University of North Dakota School of Medicine and Health Sciences"Eating disorders in childhood and adolescence have been quite neglected, despite the fact that the majority of eating disorders begin at this time. This welcome book pulls together what is known about causation, consequences, and treatment. It provides essential knowledge not only for treating this population, but also for better understanding eating disorders in adults. Practitioners, researchers, and graduate students specializing in eating disorders should have this valuable book on their shelves."--W.

Book SynopsisThis empathetic handbook has been created for people affected by any form of disordered eating. Thoughtfully compiled by experienced authors, it will be a comprehensive guide through every stage of your recovery, from recognising and understanding your disorder and learning fully about treatment, to self-help tools and practical advice for maintaining recovery and looking to the future.Each chapter includes suggested objectives, tasks and reflections which are designed to help you think about, engage with, and express your thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It will encourage you to process the discoveries you make about yourself for positive and long-lasting change. Encouraging quotes are included throughout from people who have walked this path and found the help they needed to overcome their own disordered eating. You are not alone on this journey.Trade ReviewIt is becoming clearer that the treatment ethos that is most helpful for recovery from an eating disorder is one that includes a collaborative approach to care. This book is a wonderful compendium of resources that can be used as tools for the individual and the support team to work with a joint understanding. With helpful descriptions of the wide, eclectic variety of strategies that can be useful in fostering change, this book provides a diverse resource that can be shared in a collaborative way by patients, carers and professionals. -- Professor Janet Treasure OBE, PhD, FRCP, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry at University College London and Director of the Eating Disorder Unit at the Institute of Psychiatry, King’s College London, and at the South London Maudsley Hospital NHS TrustThe topics and self study activities outlined in this book were invaluable in my understanding of myself, my relationship with food, and the real meaning behind my eating disorder. It was a fundamental tool to my recovery. It helped me to see my eating disorder from a different angle and gave me and my family new strategies to overcome it and to see it for what it really was. -- Sarah Sims, eating disorder survivorThe Eating Disorder Recovery Handbook successfully draws on existing evidence and best practice whilst interweaving the ideas and encouragement of those who have walked the difficult path of recovery before. Offering hope, guidance and a wide range of structured activities, this book will prove a fantastic tool both for people recovering from an eating disorder and those working hard to support them. -- Dr Pooky Knightsmith, Child & Adolescent Mental Health Specialist, and Author of Self-Harm and Eating Disorders in SchoolsThe handbook is a comprehensive and practical tool to help not just the individual suffering with an eating disorder, but also families wanting to offer support.The destructive nature of the illness frequently pulls families apart.

The sections and the practical ideas in the handbook address the complexity of the illness and enable parents/family members/ carers to gain a better understanding of what having an eating disorder feels like.It provides the platform for honest communication and trust to be built/rebuilt and nurtured. We all make mistakes, despite the best intentions, and there is no point anyone blaming themselves or regretting past decisions.

Book SynopsisPeople living with eating disorders find it hard to take the step of choosing recovery, often because the disorder has developed as a way of `coping' with problems or stresses in the their life. This book outlines new and positive ways of dealing with eating disorders for people living with eating disorders and their families.A practical workbook written by someone who has lived with eating disorder, it provides advice and strategies to aid understanding and to help the reader to gain control of their illness. Anna Paterson leads the reader through easy-to-use therapeutic exercises, such as describing the pros and cons of an illness, writing a farewell letter to it, and using role-reversal scenarios to get a new perspective on their attitude to eating. She emphasizes the importance of taking things at your own pace and in the final section of the book provides a set of diet plans specifically designed for anorexics, bulimics and compulsive overeaters.This book will be valued by people living with eating disorders and their families, and also the psychologists and psychotherapists, counsellors, health professionals and social workers who work with them.Trade ReviewThe book has a wealth of information on anorexia. It is part writer's comments and experiences, and part useful exercises. Anna takes the reader along her path of recovery and describes the different therapies available, how to deal with triggers and dangerous behaviour, anger management, how to build confidence and how to liveat a healthy weight. Easy to read and understand, it is a book that you can dip in and out of. It even concludes with a chapter providing useful recipes for eating-disorders sufferers, which show that no food type should be off-limits because they can all form part of a healthy diet. The book gives the message that recovery from eating disorders, which affect more than one million people in the UK, is achievable. -- Children and Young People NowAlthough aimed squarely at sufferers, Beating Eating Disorders might well also serve to provide information and insight to their carers, family and friends. In short, anyone looking for a handy, non-specialist resource for steps towards eating disorder recovery is likely to find much of interest here. -- Cornwall Eating Disorder AssociationThis book is extremely practical and insightful. It invites readers to identify and own up to what their eating disorder does for them - e.g. blocks out traumatic memories, holds the family together, stops someone growing into an adult and having to take adult responsibilities, allows a sense of control, helps cope with anger, numbs difficult feelings, makes the sufferer feel special, etc. Then she takes the reader through choosing recovery, coping with guilt, dealing with perfectionism and applying therapeutic approaches that help. She dwells heavily on cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) techniques but usefully so, and also covers exposure therapy, anger and anxiety management, and developing assertiveness. Sympathetic but without pulling punches: there is a lot that is of huge value in this book. -- Human Givens JournalThe book is moving and powerful and could be easily accessible to her self-help target audience worldwide -- Counselling Children and Young PeopleTable of ContentsIntroduction: My Story.

The structure of the book is unique in that the family biographies are the scaffold upon which pertinent information and issues about anorexia are present... Inside anorexia has general reader appeal and is an easy read from start to finish. The book is of particular interest to anyone at the beginning stages of learning about complexities of this disease. It may also offer support and some illumination to patients and families who are at the beginning of their journey with this illness. -- Psychiatric ServicesThe full extent of anorexia and its effect on families is very well presented, so I think that anybody who was struggling with the complexity of the issues surrounding anorexia might well feel less isolated after reading this book...

Book SynopsisDrawing from Within is an introductory guide for those wanting to explore the use of art with clients with eating disorders. Art therapy is a particularly effective therapeutic intervention for this group, as it allows them to express uncomfortable thoughts and feelings through artistic media rather than having to explain them verbally.Lisa D. Hinz outlines the areas around which the therapist can design effective treatment programmes, covering family influences, body image, self-acceptance, problem solving and spirituality. Each area is discussed in a separate chapter and is accompanied by suggestions for exercises, with advice on materials to use and how to implement them. Case examples show how a therapy programme can be tailored to the individual client and photographs of client artwork illustrate the text throughout.Practical and accessible to practitioners at all levels of experience, this book gives new hope to therapists and other mental health professionals who want to explore the potential of using art with clients with eating disorders.Trade ReviewAn innovative approach describing how art therapists can design and implement effective treatment programmes for eating disorders. Of particular value where service users find it difficult to explain their thoughts and feelings verbally. -- BILD Current Awareness ServiceDrawing from Within covers both theory and practise in a comprehensive and informative overview, solution- focused intervention, describing a step- by- step approach to an extremely promising technique for treating people with eating disorders. This manual is a positive resource which would be useful to practitioners in the fields of mental health, art therapy and counselling, as well as training for clinicians in the field of eating disorders.I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in developments in person- centred therapy or in thinking about the use of art as a therapeutic tool; it is clearly structured and well- organised and clearly a valuable contribution to the field of psychological therapy and training. -- Routledge, Taylor and Francis GroupDrawing from Within: Using Art to Treat Eating Disorders is a fine reference for practitioner who wish to explore the therapeutic use of art with clients with eating disorders. Art therapy has been successfully used as intervention with this client group: chapters cover themes which can embrace programs, offering suggestions for creating and implementing exercises and translating results to therapy. It's the hands-on application of theory to results which makes Drawing from Within so essential for any working with clients with eating disorders - and for college-level libraries strong in psychology. -- The Midwest Book ReviewI believe that art psychotherapists working with eating disorders with a similar eclectic approach would find this an interesting read with lots of relevant information…the art experiences are well designed and could be used with other client groups in different contexts, such as professional work-shops and training. I have introduced and adapted different exercises into my initial assessments with children and young people. Many of the expected themes identified in the book were highlighted in the therapy, illustrating the value of Hinz's tools. I was also interested in the chapter addressing spirituality, as this is an area not often considered in psychotherapy. In my own art practice I engaged in some of the exercises in this chapter and found this to be a powerful experience, giving me a lot of material to process and reflect on. -- AT NewsbriefingI was thrilled to find this book which is a brilliantly comprehensive exploration of the use of art therapy in the treatment of eating disorders. The book is fantastic - it is well written, accurate and well backed up with current research findings and references. There are some wonderful ideas within the book and each is presented in such a practical way that you find they immediately bring to mind clients for whom they might be helpful. I have no doubt that this book will develop and improve my use of art techniques in my work and I am sure that those I work with will also benefit from my having read it. -- Lifeline, Anorexia and Bulimia CarePsychologist and registered art therapist Lisa Hinz describes an art-based approach that mental health professionals can use with clients who have eating disorders. Following the introductory material, each of the seven main chapters focuses on a particular area of therapeutic work, such as reclaiming emotions or enhancing self-acceptance. Each of these chapters contains art experiences aimed at helping clients to express themselves. These are followed by response pieces, designed to counteract negativity and provide clients with practical actions they can take to promote recovery. -- www.booknews.comThis book provides a wealth of ideas for working with clients with eating disorders using art. -- Play Therapy UKTable of ContentsPreface.
