Abstract
The aim of this book is to promote the understanding of and the treatments for eating disorders. We combine the clinical field of eating disorders with the intellectual model of mentalizing. Mentalization-based treatments—MBT—originate from and are effective working with borderline personality disorder. We, the authors of this book, have over the years worked with the “translation” of the treatment approaches into the clinical field of eating disorders. Hence, this book presents theoretical background, clinical stances and interventions, therapist competences and therapeutic structures for mentalization-based treatment for eating disorders—MBT-ED.
