An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems: A Biopsychosocial Approach 1st Edition
Treating anorexia nervosa (AN) can be one of the hardest job clinicians face. People with AN fear eating despite being seriously underweight and suffer from non-traditional symptoms including hallucinations. Current interventions lack options to address such non-traditional symptoms ultimately resulting in relapse.Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa: A Biopsychosocial Approach offers a new, evidence-based intervention for anorexia nervosa that accounts for the strange symptoms, helping clinicians to better understand and treat patients. This book provides an intervention that is more accurately tailored to the three phases (biological, psychological, and social) interventions observed in this disorder. The chapters walk the reader through motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, and other clinical techniques to help tailor therapeutic work to the specific challenges. Written by Dr. Shan Guisinger a leading expert in the field, this book will become the main treatment guide for treating anorexia nervosa.
