Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Adolescents with Eating Disorders

Description

This state-of-the-art guide provides a powerful transdiagnostic approach for treating adolescent eating disorders (anorexia nervosa bulimia nervosa binge-eating disorder and others) in either outpatient or inpatient settings. It describes how enhanced cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E)-the gold-standard treatment for adult eating disorders-has been systematically adapted and tested with younger patients. With a strong motivational focus CBT-E gives the adolescent a key role in decision making. The book presents session-by-session guidelines for assessing patients determining whether CBT-E is appropriate developing case conceptualizations conducting individualized interventions addressing medical issues and involving parents. User-friendly features include case vignettes and reproducible forms; purchasers get access to a webpage where they can download and print the reproducible materials in a convenient 8 1/2" x 11" size. CBT-E is recognized as a best practice for the treatment of adolescent eating disorders by the U. K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). | Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Adolescents with Eating Disorders
