In recent years, there has been a striking increase in eating disorders (anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, or binge eating disorder), which pose serious health risks for many young people, particularly women.
The book presents the interpretative and therapeutic models of these disorders within the framework of cognitive-behavioral therapy, an approach that research has proven to be one of the preferred treatments for these disorders.
In addition to the theoretical presentation as recorded by contemporary literature, readers - both professionals and non-professionals - will find extensive case presentations of patients suffering from various eating disorders in the book.
The work can serve as a valuable resource for the cognitive therapist who is called upon to assist patients suffering from an eating disorder, as well as for any mental health professional who wishes to expand their knowledge in the therapeutic approach to eating disorders.
