Body States: Interpersonal and Relational Perspectives on the Treatment of Eating Disorders
By Jean Petrucelli
Body-States: Interpersonal and Relational Perspectives on the Treatment of Eating Disorders–Edited by Jean Petrucelli brings together experts in eating disorders to illuminate how interpersonal and relational theorizing enriches and deepens their work with their patients. Bridging the gap between theory and practice, symptom and recovery, these selected papers illustrate how an embodied experience must be a felt experience. While this collection is made up of a diverse group of thinkers and clinicians, they have in common the aim of enabling clients to inhabit their bodies as their own, rather than alien entities. In this collection, Petrucelli convincingly demonstrates how interpersonal and relational treatment addresses eating problems, body image problems, and “problems in living.”

Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders : The Heart of the Matter
By Margo Maine, William N. Davis & Jane Shure
Rarely does a book describe what really happens in offices and treatment centers when clinicians and clients join forces to challenge eating disorders. Informed by a feminist perspective, Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders emphasizes the importance of the collaboration and connection necessary to enable the lasting changes that empower women to reclaim their lives. Exposing the limitations of the medical model and exploring the value of a feminist and relational framework, this book examines theoretical approaches, clinical methods, and special issues such as the unique countertransference issues associated with eating disorders, diversity, shame, and the clinician’s own experiences of embodiment. Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders is a critical resource for clinicians, from the novice to those with years of experience.

By Kathryn J. Zerbe
Combining decades of clinical experience, teaching, and scholarly writing, Dr. Zerbe offers a comprehensive text that systematically covers all aspects of treatment for eating disorders.

Its crystal clear style and integration of key ideas concerning the cultural, neurobiological, pharmacological, evolutionary, developmental, and psychological roots of eating problems appeals to the intelligent lay reader to student clinicians to the more sophisticated practitioner.

Treating Bulimia in Adolescents : A Family-Based Approach
By Daniel Le Grange & James Lock
This is a clinician’s handbook that draws very much on the authors’ earlier work in terms of family-based treatment for adolescent anorexia nervosa. The purpose of this manual is to serve as a step-by-step guide for the seasoned eating disorder clinician as they embark on engaging parents in support of their adolescent with bulimia nervosa. It starts out with a description of bulimia nervosa in adolescents and the extent to which this disorder both differs and overlaps with anorexia nervosa in this same age group. It carefully describes how this approach for bulimia nervosa is different from the same approach for anorexia nervosa, and then carefully walks the clinician through the more staged early treatment sessions, as well as the subsequent somewhat less circumscribed treatment guidelines. This is a practical book and should serve as a helpful therapist guide in working with teens and their families.

The Treatment of Eating Disorders : Bridging the Research-Practice Gap
By Margo Maine, Beth Hartman McGilley & Douglas W. Bunnell
Eating disorders affect at least 30 million people in the United States each year, spreading across age, race, ethnicity, socio-economic class, and the globe. While the professional literature on the subject has grown considerably, a significant gap remains between research paradigms and the clinical realities confronting practitioners. This volume bridges such gaps, assuring that research better informs clinical work, and clinical work better informs the research agenda and process. Content areas include: the biopsychosocial nature of eating disorders; diagnosis and treatment; special populations; family issues; clinical interventions to address mind, body, and spirit; and future directions. This unique integration of theoretical findings and actual practice borrows a bench-to-bedside approach from medical research, enhancing both domains.
