The book provides an orientation to the diagnoses of eating disorders along with current information about evidence-based practices for multidisciplinary treatment. Unlike other books on eating disorders, this book conceptualizes eating disorder treatment as a team effort, focusing on the psychotherapist and their role as a member within a comprehensive treatment team. Keane and Mendes identify the primary components of an eating disorderspecialized multidisciplinary “treatment team”: a therapist to provide ongoing psychotherapy and care coordination, a medical provider to oversee medical complications and general medical stability, and a registered dietitian to provide nutrition counseling and manage nutritional status. It is increasingly common that adjunctive disciplines are also involved in the treatment team, such as integrative therapists, couple’s counselors, school counselors, and other therapeutic support. Through the experiences of seasoned eating disorder experts, readers will learn the basic tenets of eating disorder treatment, diagnostic differences between disorders, effective treatments, case examples, and sage clinical advice. Chapters are written from the perspective of a psychotherapist, as well as from that of a registered dietitian and a medical physician. Designed to prepare both experienced and novice psychotherapists, as well as master’s and doctoral students, for providing eating disorder treatment, this easy-to-read book is a must for any psychotherapist considering work with eating disorders.
