"This text blends state-of-the-art knowledge of the theoretical
mechanisms and practical applications of exposure therapy in
general with impressive clinical experience and expertise in the
treatment of specific eating disordersâ Particularly important is
how the book identifies and then addresses major obstacles to the
use of exposure in the treatment of eating disorders, including the
personal concerns of clinicians themselves. Another key feature
is
the thoughtful manner in which the authors detail how to explain
exposure treatment and successfully engage patients in its
implementationâ Therapists will find the detailed treatment
guidelines and guidance
on how to respond to individual patient needs invaluable. It makes
a compelling case for the expanded use of exposure therapy and is
strongly recommended reading for clinicians treating eating
disorders." -- G. Terence Wilson, PhD, Oscar K Buros Professor,
Graduate School of Applied and Professional Psychology, Rutgers
University
"A comprehensive understanding of exposure-based principles and
techniques is essential for all clinicians working in the treatment
of eating disorders. This book is a masterpiece in which three
brilliant minds - Drs. Becker, Farrell and Waller, carefully
outline the why and the how of exposure therapy for eating
disorders. Essential reading!" -- Dr. Stuart B. Murray, DClinPsych,
PhD, Associate Professor, Department of Psychiatry, University of
California,
San Francisco
"This book expertly and informatively explains the why and how of
exposure for eating disorders and its essential role across
different treatment modalities. A must-read for all those
therapists who anxiously wonder "what if my client falls apart if I
get them to face what they avoid" -- Tracey Wade, Matthew Flinders
Distinguished Professor, Flinders University
