Eating disorders are but one of many specific pathological
responses to the pressures of the modern world. In group therapy,
patients battling bulimia nervosa can learn from one another how to
heal the emotional wounds that have put their health in jeopardy.
Group therapy addresses the four etiologies of eating disorders by
teaching the sociocultural context, discussing both the
psychological and familial constellation of each member, and
providing a forum to address the physiological aspects of the
disorder by discussing the benefits of or disappointments in
medications.
The only eating-disorder treatment manual for group application
available, this book presents an integrative treatment model
bringing together psychoeducational, cognitive behavioral,
relational, experiential, and interpersonal methods. The
introduction begins with a detailed discussion of bulimia's
cultural roots as well as its epidemiology and etiology, moves to a
survey of available treatments, and concludes with a rationale for
use of the integrative group method.
Following chapters provide instructions for leading a
time-limited therapy group for bulimic patients, including a
discussion of screening procedures for prospective members and a
guide for processing group dynamics. These precede the core of the
book: step-by-step descriptions of the twelve structured therapy
sessions. Interspersed throughout are group reading assignments and
reflective essays.
