An Integrative Approach to Treating Eating Disorders: 9 Foundational Skills for a Lasting Recovery
An Integrative Approach to Treating Eating Disorders walks therapists through how to effectively resolve the most common yet nuanced struggles that clients with disordered eating face on a daily basis.
This straightforward workbook begins by demystifying the complexities and nuances of eating disorders. It then helps therapists understand the need for an integrative approach and walks them through how to assess a client’s biological, psychological, social, and spiritual domains as they correlate with disordered eating behaviors and thoughts. This is accomplished with the BASIC I.D. assessment model and a multimodal therapy framework, both created by Dr. Arnold Lazarus. Nine foundational skills are provided for clients to achieve lasting recovery and avoid the all-too-common relapse rate of eating disorders.
Each foundational skill is presented in its own chapter, complete with data, case vignettes, worksheets, and exercises developed over twenty years of research and client management. With this book, therapists both new and experienced will boost their confidence, gain practical tools, and bring more efficiency to their individual or group sessions.

Excellent resource for clients and clinicians!
I am a psychologist and I have been working with clients for about 15 years. In that time I have treated many individuals with disordered eating. Recently, when asked to create a didactic for my interns on this topic, I thought it would be a piece of cake. Unfortunately it was rather challenging to put into words, and sequential order, what it is I do when I worked "in the moment" with the client. This is a fantastic resource for new and seasoned clinicians as well as the clients they serve. The way things are ordered and described along with the very helpful worksheets is exactly how I would want to convey the treatment in an appropriate and methodical manner. Having disordered eating myself, it was very validating to read what I have known and experienced myself for most of my life. I highly recommend this to anyone who is even mildly interested in treating clients with disordered eating. Also, if you have been struggling with disordered eating, whether or not you are or have been in treatment, I think this would be a great manual to aid in your own healing.
