An Evolutionary Approach to Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa and Other Eating Problems
About this book
Understanding and Treating Anorexia Nervosa: A Biopsychosocial Approach offers a new evidence-based intervention for anorexia nervosa that accounts for strange symptoms. The book provides an intervention that is more accurately tailored to the three phases (biological, psychological and social) of interventions observed in this disorder. The book's chapters walk the reader through motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioral therapy, and other clinical techniques to help tailor therapeutic work to specific challenges. Written by Dr. Shan Guisinger, a leading expert in the field, this book will be the main treatment guide for treating anorexia nervosa.
Treating anorexia nervosa (AN) can be one of the hardest job clinicians face. People with AN fear eating despite being seriously underweight and experiencing hallucinations. Current interventions lack options to address such non-traditional symptoms ultimately resulting in relapse.
- Provides a structured and informed approach to cognitive behavioral therapies tailored to these specific conditions, offering clinicians and therapists valuable insights into effective treatment strategies.
- Empowers mental health professionals with a wide array of approaches, ensuring that they can adapt and tailor treatments to the unique needs of each patient.
- Offers a comprehensive guide to understanding and treating a range of eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and ARFID, all through an evolutionary lens
- Equips readers with a diverse toolbox of therapeutic techniques
- Delves into the evolutionary underpinnings and provides a deeper understanding of the roots of eating disorders, enhancing the reader's capacity for empathy and insight into the complexities of these conditions
- Explores the fascinating question of why teen girls might have been evolutionarily selected to search for better lands during famine
