Exposure Therapy for Eating Disorders is designed to augment
existing eating disorder treatment manuals by providing clinicians
with practical advice for maximizing the effectiveness of exposure,
regardless of clinical background or evidence-based treatment used.
Suitable for use with a range of diagnoses, this easy-to-use guide
describes the most up to date empirical research on exposure for
eating disorders, extrapolating clinical advice from the anxiety
disorders literature in order to help busy clinicians become more
effective in treating these challenging illnesses. Readers will
gain solid understanding of the theoretical underpinnings of
exposure therapy, as well as how to utilize this information to
explain the rationale for exposure to patients. Specific types of
eating disorder exposure are covered in detail, including exposure
to food and eating, cue exposure for binge eating, weighing and
weight exposure, novel forms of exposure for eating disorders, and
more. The book also provides strategies for overcoming obstacles,
including institutional resistance to implementation of exposure
therapy.

*******************************************************************************************************
We've been convinced that happiness is something that only comes
once we hit that goal weight, get those washboard abs, shrink
ourselves down and change every part of ourselves. We believe that
our bodies are the problem, but this is not true. It's how we've
been taught to see our bodies that's the problem... It's time for
us all to stop believing the lies we've been fed about what it
means to be beautiful, and take our power back. Megan's body image
issues began when she was five years old. She spent her childhood
and teen years chasing thinness and spiralling into anorexia. After
recovery she spent years dieting, binging, losing and gaining
weight. But then she found body positivity and finally escaped the
cult of thin. Now she's determined to let as many people as
possible know the truth: that we are all good enough as we are.
With her inimitable flair, whip-smart wit and kickass attitude,
Megan argues in an entertaining, engaging and accessible way for a
new way of seeing ourselves, and a world where every body is
celebrated. Where there is no such thing as a 'bikini body diet'
and 97% of women don't hate the way they look. A powerful call to
arms as much as it is inspirational and practical, this book is the
life-changing answer you've been looking for.
This cutting-edge, interdisciplinary volume describes established
and state of the art approaches for exploring the pathways that
influence and control appetite, including: behavioural,
electrophysiological, neuroanatomical, gene knockout and
pharmacological techniques. The book presents key peptide and
neurotransmitter systems, together with newly emerging concepts of
metabolic signalling and hypothalamic inflammation. The impact of
early life experience on neuroendocrine appetite circuits is also
looked at, including early programming of these circuits by
circulating hormones. Finally, new emerging therapeutic approaches
to appetite suppression are discussed, including those linked to
bariatric (weight loss) surgery. Neuroendocrinology of Appetite is
especially focused on established and emerging technologies and
approaches for investigating appetite control. It is written so as
to provide an overview of sufficient depth for an undergraduate or
new scientist in the field to come up to speed in the complementary
approaches used by researchers in this field. Taking an
interdisciplinary approach, the book aims to appeal to all those
with a basic, clinical or therapeutic interest in research into
obesity and eating disorders.

From pioneering family-based treatment developer James Lock, this
is the first comprehensive guide to adolescent-focused therapy
(AFT) for anorexia nervosa (AN), an evidence-based individual
approach. AFT is an effective alternative to family-based treatment
that may be a better fit for some patients. Lock explains how AN
serves as a maladaptive response to developmental challenges of
adolescence. He presents a manualized framework for helping
adolescents find more adaptive coping strategies, manage difficult
emotions, and develop greater autonomy and a stronger sense of
self, while reducing risky behaviors and restoring weight. AFT
emphasizes the therapist-patient alliance and involves parents in a
supportive role. Rich case material and sample dialogues illustrate
how to implement each phase of the approach. AFT is recognized as a
best practice for the treatment of anorexia nervosa in adolescents
by the U.K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence
(NICE).
*The gold-standard treatment, available for helping teens for the
first time--an adaptation of Christopher G. Fairburn's clinically
proven enhanced CBT (CBT-E). *Broadly applicable: a transdiagnostic
approach that can be used on all eating disorders (bulimia,
anorexia, binge eating) and at all levels of care, from in- to
outpatient. *Easy to learn and administer, flexible, and adaptable;
therapists can adjust methods to clients' physical and
developmental needs. *Critical focus on autonomy--the authors
present numerous strategies to engage ambivalent teens, work
collaboratively, and actively involve them in decision making.
*Includes clinical examples and downloadable handouts.
This practical guide enables those working with young children to
better understand, manage and support children's relationship with
food. Revealing the different ways in which children can relate to
food, it gives accessible guidance and advice about how to help
children to develop psychologically healthy eating habits and
behaviours, and how to tackle feeding issues such as picky eating,
obesity and food anxiety. Included is an easy-to-use reference
section for trouble-shooting, which contains advice on how special
needs such as autism can affect children's feelings about food.
Ive never had anorexia, but I know it well. I see it on the street,
in the gaunt and sunken face, the bony chest, the spindly arms of
an emaciated woman. Ive come to recognize the flat look of despair,
the hopelessness that follows, inevitably, from years of
starvation. I think: That could have been my daughter. It wasnt.
Its not. If I have anything to say about it, it wont be. In this
emotionally resonant and compelling memoir, journalist and
professor Harriet Brown takes readers--moment by moment, spoonful
by spoonful--through her familys experience with the nightmare of
anorexia. A guiding light for anyone touched by this devastating
disease, Brave Girl Eating is essential reading for families and
professionals alike.

The Upside of Being Down shows the winding paths that are the
thoughts that go through one's mind, and the debilitating symptoms
that come alight with Anorexia Nervosa. Anorexia Nervosa is an
illness misunderstood by many. At first glance it is seen as a
trivial call for attention, but it is so much more. The Upside of
Being Down is a memoir of a teenage survivor of Anorexia written in
order to destigmatize this illness so that many more can be
treated. Only one in ten sufferers will seek treatment because many
people don't conceptualize what eating disorders truly encompass.
What may come as a surprise to many, is that weight and looks are
the most insignificant part of this illness. Through medical
appointments and unique experiences, Carolina recounts the thoughts
and actions that built up her diagnosis within The Upside of Being
Down. Much like navigating unknown seas, Carolina writes about
surviving an illness that is entirely abstract and has no simple
way out, while also advocating for eating disorder awareness to
encourage families and people who are on the verge of giving up.
When Rebecca Lester was eleven years old-and again when she was
eighteen-she almost died from anorexia nervosa. Now both a tenured
professor in anthropology and a licensed social worker, she turns
her ethnographic and clinical gaze to the world of eating
disorders-their history, diagnosis, lived realities, treatment, and
place in the American cultural imagination. Famished, the
culmination of over two decades of anthropological and clinical
work, as well as a lifetime of lived experience, presents a
profound rethinking of eating disorders and how to treat them.
Through a mix of rich cultural analysis, detailed therapeutic
accounts, and raw autobiographical reflections, Famished helps make
sense of why people develop eating disorders, what the process of
recovery is like, and why treatments so often fail. It's also an
unsparing condemnation of the tension between profit and care in
American healthcare, demonstrating how a system set up to treat a
disease may, in fact, perpetuate it. Fierce and vulnerable,
critical and hopeful, Famished will forever change the way you
understand eating disorders and the people who suffer with them.

Healthy Food: Perspectives, Availability and Consumption first
explores the pathological form of healthy eating, orthorexia
nervosa. Although orthorexia nervosa cannot be found in the
Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of the American Psychiatric
Association, important findings suggest that orthorexia nervosa
should receive wider scientific and public attention. Additionally,
the current literature regarding the effects of healthy foods and
early feeding practices in childhood is explored in the context of
the primordial prevention of non-communicable diseases and their
risk factors. This compilation also examines carrot bagasse flour
and banana peel flour for their potential to be employed as
functional ingredients to improve the texture, color, and flavor of
raw meat products, as chorizo, or cooked meat products, as
sausages. Candelilla wax oleogel is investigated for its potential
to replace pork back fat lard in cooked sausages, specifically
focusing on its textural profile, moisture, color, and sensory
acceptance. Results indicate that candelilla wax oleogel can be
employed as a fat replacement, improving the health profile of
certain meat products.
