Strategies of Change in Eating Disorders

  • Chapter
Treating Addictive Behaviors

Part of the book series: Applied Clinical Psychology ((ABBI,volume 13))

Abstract

I have been asked to provide a review of strategies of change in eating disorders. This chapter may be somewhat out of place in this volume, firstly because this is the only paper on eating disorders and, secondly, because the theme of the book is that of addictive behavior and I have considerable reservations about whether two of the syndromes I am going to discuss have, in fact, any element of addictive behavior at all.
