A Practical Guide To The Treatment Of Bulimia Nervosa (Brunner/Mazel Eating Disorders Monograph Series)

This practical guide describes a wide variety of therapeutic methods and strategies for treating bulimia nervosa on both an inpatient and outpatient basis. The flexible framework presented is governed by pragmatism rather than by an ideology and reflects the extensive clinical experience and research of a multidisciplinary team. The authors develop a directive, multidimensional treatment approach that integrates strategies from different therapeutic models to foster effective intervention. Chapters cover diagnosis, treatment models, treatment planning, individual therapy, group therapy, hypnotherapy, family therapy, inpatient treatment, and evaluation and follow-up.
