MoreThis volume includes the key features of bulimia nervosa (BN), associated problems, psychological theories and different treatment approaches. There is special focus on cognitive factors with case examples used to illustrate the two most articulated cognitive treatments for the disorder. Emerging topics, such as imagery and metacognition are covered, as are service issues, such as stepped care and practice guidelines. Drawing on research and theory from cognitive and non-clinical areas of psychology, this title provides an original and challenging perspective on this debilitating condition. It questions assumptions about cognitive theory of bulimia nervosa and the role of standard cognitive therapy in treating the problem, suggests novel ideas and a revised treatment and outlines areas for further research activity.
