Dialectical Behavior Therapy for Binge Eating and Bulimia - Safer, Telch & Chen {PDF|EPUB|MOBI} [Seduction28]

"This well-written book, which has been eagerly awaited by both the DBT and eating disorders communities, is a real gem to add to any clinician's shelf. It will be equally useful to DBT-trained clinicians and to others interested in empirically validated treatments for bulimia and binge-eating disorder. The book has immense instructional potential. Session-by-session descriptions of the treatment will help trainees feel as though they are 'doing it right,' even with their first patient."

"The authors present a well-written and practical approach to the treatment of bulimia nervosa and binge eating. They cover rationale for the use of DBT in this population and clearly define assessment and implementation of the skills of Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance. Each of these skills has an excellent description of how to present material in a group format, including potential exercises....The authors also interject excellent case material throughout the book that helps the reader understand how the strategies can be successfully administered. Additionally, the final chapters review the potential for DBT with eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa and the future directions of this intervention. Overall, this is a highly readable and well-organized book that helps those interested in treating bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder to develop new skills in treatment."

"Well written and easy to read, and is a useful resource for practitioners, researchers, and students. In particular, this book will be helpful for those who have experience with DBT but have little knowledge of eating disorders, in addition to those who are seasoned in treating eating disorders but are not trained in DBT....The step-by-step guidelines, discussion points, and case examples are refreshing and informative. The authors should be congratulated for staying adherent to DBT while also adapting the skills discussed and the handouts to be used, targeting them for individuals with BED or BN....A refreshing and extremely well-written book....The combination of illustrative case examples, experiential exercises to increase mindful eating, discussion points, and handouts, serves to help clinicians actually apply this treatment, not just read about it. I highly recommend this book for clinicians looking to apply DBT to clients with binge-eating disorder or bulimia, as this groundbreaking work is a valuable merger of DBT and treatment for eating disorders."
