The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity: An Adaptation of the Unified Protocol, Workbook (Treatments That Work)
Book details
Summary
Description
Product Description
The majority of individuals with eating disorders also experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions, and/or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Most research-supported treatments for eating disorders, however, do not integrate interventions for these co-occurring conditions
in a unified way.
The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity was developed to help people who struggle with any type of eating disorder as well as intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. Eating disorders include symptoms such as efforts to restrict eating, binge eating or
overeating, and compulsive or unhealthy efforts to lose weight, alongside strong, distressing feelings about the importance of shape, weight, or eating control. The goal of this
Workbook, which is designed to accompany the companion
Therapist Guide, is to help people overcome their individual eating
and emotional issues using a common set of scientifically tested tools. The steps and exercises in this book are intended to help readers identify and better understand how eating and emotional issues interact, to address some of the core thoughts and behaviors that underpin both eating and
emotional disorders, and to develop new flexibility and capacity in areas of life that have been affected. The strategies included in this book are based on common principles found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments, and have been extensively tested in research studies. The
research to support these interventions is included in the companion
Therapist Guide.
Review
"Thompson-Brenner and colleagues provide a thoughtful adaptation of the Unified Protocol that skillfully incorporates the most current and effective procedures for the treatment of eating disorders. Easy-to-follow clinical tool based on an innovative therapeutic approach!" -- Todd Farchione, PhD,
Director, Unified Treatment Program, Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders, Boston University
"The treatment described in these manuals is revolutionary in its development, design, and implementation. From the initial selection of evidence-based treatment approaches, to the fastidious assessment of treatment fidelity, to the implementation of the treatment across numerous community-based
settings, the approach is one-of-a-kind and will substantially improve our ability to effectively treat persons with eating disorders across treatment settings." -- Kelly Klump, PhD, MSU Foundation Endowed Professor, Department of Psychology, Michigan State University
