This book provides an excellent guide and resouce to health professionals working with this challenging patient group. The new transdiagnostic treatment is well developed and consisely described. The book provides a step by step guide as well as useful treatment strategies to deal with the core psychopathology. Well worth buying.

I did enjoy this treatment manuals theory and practice. It should be noted that this book, in practice, is not for a diagnosis anorexia nervosa. It does have a plan for that diagnosis, but does not seem to have the evidence to back it up from the trials that have been conducted. I think in the future as evidence grows this could be a promising treatment for all eating disorders. It does have a very intrigueing way of conceptualizing eating disorders in general. It will be exciting to see how this model actually plays out in practice.

This book is intended for the health professional, not for a parent such as myself. However, I found some of the basic principles to be very useful.
