Product Description
This book provides the first comprehensive guide to the practice of "enhanced" cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E), the latest version of the leading empirically supported treatment for eating disorders. Written with the practitioner in mind, the book demonstrates how this transdiagnostic approach can be used with the full range of eating disorders seen in clinical practice. Christopher Fairburn and colleagues describe in detail how to tailor CBT-E to the needs of individual patients, and how to adapt it for adolescents and patients who require hospitalization. Also addressed are frequently encountered co-occurring disorders and how to manage them. Reproducible appendices feature the Eating Disorder Examination interview and questionnaire.

I did enjoy this treatment manuals theory and practice. It should be noted that this book, in practice, is not for a diagnosis anorexia nervosa. It does have a plan for that diagnosis, but does not seem to have the evidence to back it up from the trials that have been conducted. I think in the future as evidence grows this could be a promising treatment for all eating disorders. It does have a very intrigueing way of conceptualizing eating disorders in general. It will be exciting to see how this model actually plays out in practice.

excellent book/resource by Dr Wells (Australia)
