Questo libro fornisce la prima guida completa alla pratica della terapia cognitivo comportamentale potenziata (CBT-E), l'ultima versione del principale trattamento supportato empiricamente per i disturbi dell'alimentazione. Scritto pensando ai professionisti, il libro dimostra come questo approccio transdiagnostico possa essere utilizzato con l'intera gamma di disturbi alimentari riscontrati nella pratica clinica. Christopher Fairburn e i suoi collaboratori descrivono in dettaglio come adattare la CBT-E alle esigenze dei singoli pazienti e come modificarla per gli adolescenti e i pazienti che necessitano di ospedalizzazione. Vengono inoltre affrontati i disturbi co-occorrenti frequentemente riscontrati e come gestirli. Gli allegati riproducibili includono l'intervista e il questionario dell'Eating Disorder Examination.
