Editorial Reviews
Review
“The authors bring decades of clinical and research experience to this concise book, which details cognitive behavioral therapy as the strongest and/or fastest impact on most types of eating disorders among adults. Therapists and other mental health professionals will be familiar with the key elements of CBT, but laypersons will no doubt gain new insights into the ways this therapeutic approach can be used to help battle their eating disorder. Six sections cover topics such as CBT and how to apply it, motivating oneself to treat the eating disorder, how to use this program, the journey to recovery, and relapse prevention. The most attractive feature of this book is the novel self-help approach for treating eating disorders with CBT that would certainly appeal to those who might want to try it as a first step, or even continue with this approach for an enduring change.” –Doody’s Review Service
