Nutrition Counseling in the Treatment of Eating Disorders

by Marcia Herrin, Maria Larkin

Marcia Herrin and Maria Larkin have collaborated on the second edition of Nutrition Counseling in the Treatment of Eating Disorders, infusing research-based approaches and their own clinically-refined tools for managing food and weight-related issues. New to this edition is a section on nutrition counseling interventions derived from cognitive behavioral therapy-enhanced, dialectical behavioral therapy, family-based treatment, and motivational interviewing techniques. Readers will appreciate the state of the art nutrition and weight assessment guidelines, the practical clinical techniques for managing bingeing, purging, excessive exercise, and weight restoration as well as the unique food planning approach developed by the authors. As a comprehensive overview of food and weight-related treatments, this book is an indispensible resource for nutrition counselors, psychotherapists, psychiatrists, physicians, and primary care providers.

Outdated now, but still very helpful in learning how to approach counseling in EDs

[Shannon W-S]

I love this comprehensive resource. It does not sit with me that it is not weight-inclusive, which I hope will be updated in future editions.

[Lauren Moz]

A great reference book that I’ll definitely be going back to.

Having a new edition to be weight inclusive would make this 5 stars! Great medical reference otherwise
