CBT is the gold-standard treatment for bulimia nervosa, but many therapists lack training in the approach. This guide presents the behavior change tools that comprise this intervention in the form of worksheets and a complete case example. The authors do an excellent job of disseminating core skills. - Janet Treasure, Guy's Hospital, London, UK This is a great book that provides comprehensive instruction in the cognitive-behavioral treatment of bulimia and binge-eating disorder. It is grounded in the most recent empirical findings and offers a session-by-session format with practical, easy-to-follow guidelines. The reproducible worksheets, forms, and figures facilitate therapeutic impact and reduce the therapist's workload. This book can be used by clinicians in direct practice, by supervisors with trainees, and with graduate students in psychology and counseling. I will use it in my training and supervision of doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows in eating disorder treatment. - Sherrie S.
