| Summary: | The category of bulimia nervosa includes a variety of comorbid psychiatric disorders, which often influences the treatment process. This book provides a detailed, integrative approach for the treatment of this widespread eating disorder in its many manifestations. The author argues that coping theory can help organize the types of skills training and psychotherapeutic interventions needed by patients with bulimia nervosa. He proposes a treatment "dosage" plan well suited for the current managed care environment. Dosage sessions range from 1-2 sessions to 100+ sessions. Each dosage focuses on a different set of coping strategies that a patient must master for effective treatment. This approach draws from numerous schools of therapy, including cognitive-behavioral, feminist, expressive-supportive, and interpersonal. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved).
