This book reasserts the importance of case formulation as the first
step in implementing effective cognitive behavioral therapies
(CBT), centering it as the main operative tool of CBT approaches by
which the therapist handles the whole psychotherapeutic process.
Chapters discuss specific CBT interventions and components of the
treatment, aspecific factors including therapeutic alliance and
relationship, and theoretical and historical background of CBT
practices. In addition, the book assumes that in CBTs the case
formulation is a procedure which is continuously shared and
reevaluated between patient and therapist throughout the course of
treatment. This aspect is increasingly becoming the distinguishing
feature of CBT approaches as it embodies CBT's basic tenets and
implies full confidence in patients' conscious agreement,
transparent cooperation and explicit commitment with CBT's model of
clinical change.

The aim of this book is to illustrate a variant of the standard
cognitive treatment for eating disorders. This therapy is based on
the principle that assessing and treating the patient's process of
worry and sense of control fosters greater understanding of the
psychopathology of the eating disorder and increases the efficacy
of cognitive treatment. The book is an edited collection of
chapters that discuss the psychopathological roles played by
control and worry in eating disorders, and provide a detailed
description of the therapeutic protocol, which primarily focuses on
the treatment of the cognitive factors of control and worry as core
factor of a psychotherapy of eating disorders. In addition, the
book shows contributions from other theorists in the field who have
investigated the role of worry, preoccupation, and control, or who
explore the connections between worry, control, and other emotional
factors underlying eating disorders, such as perfectionism,
self-esteem, and impulsivity.
