The effective treatment of anorexia nervosa (AN) remains a
significant challenge. This has prompted new research into ways of
engaging and keeping patients in treatment and ultimately achieving
better outcomes, not only on a symptomatic level but also in
broader aspects of life. In this book Kate Tchanturia brings
together international experts from the field of eating disorders
to discuss the effectiveness of cognitive remediation therapy for
treating anorexia nervosa, and keeping patients in therapy.
Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT) is a type of therapy that
concentrates on improving neurocognitive abilities such as
attention, working memory, cognitive flexibility and planning, and
executive functioning which leads to improved general functioning.
Recent research has demonstrated the effectiveness of the approach
for treating those with anorexia nervosa, cognitive improvements
have been noted in patients, and the approach is associated with
low drop-out rates from the treatment, and high levels of
acceptability among both patients and therapists.
This book presents research focussing on:
- individual therapy with adults
- family-based therapy
- CRT with young people
- group format of CRT
- adapting interventions for people with co-morbidities
- clinicians experiences working with CRT
Illustrated throughout with case studies, and integrating
neuropsychological testing and brain imaging this book discusses
the latest research on this novel treatment approach. It will be
key reading for researchers and academics in the eating disorders
field wanting to trial the approach, as well as final year
undergraduates and postgraduate clinical psychology students
looking for a new perspective.
