Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders

Course overview

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for eating disorders is a treatment package of behavioral and cognitive strategies. This learning material focuses on patients who are not medically at-risk and who need a behaviorally-based psychotherapy to treat their eating disorder. Notably, determining if a client is medically at-risk is a medical decision and best practice would dictate that therapists, at a minimum, coordinate with the primary care practitioners to assess medical needs when eating disorders are present. Designed for social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists, and counselors this learning material discusses transdiagnostic treatment of eating disorders, provides clinical case examples, demonstrates a newer transdiagnostic protocol, and reviews cultural considerations.
