Integrative Group Treatment for Bulimia Nervosa
by Helen Riess, Mary Dockray-Miller
Book Description
Eating disorders are but one of many specific pathological responses to the
pressures of the modern world. In group therapy, patients battling bulimia
nervosa can learn from one another how to heal the emotional wounds that have
put their health in jeopardy. Group therapy addresses the four etiologies of
eating disorders by teaching the sociocultural context, discussing both the
psychological and familial constellation of each member, and providing a forum
to address the physiological aspects of the disorder by discussing the benefits
of or disappointments in medications.
The only eating-disorder treatment manual for group application available, this
book presents an integrative treatment model bringing together psychoeducational,
cognitive behavioral, relational, experiential, and interpersonal methods. The
introduction begins with a detailed discussion of bulimia's cultural roots as
well as its epidemiology and etiology, moves to a survey of available
treatments, and concludes with a rationale for use of the integrative group
method.
Following chapters provide instructions for leading a time-limited therapy group
for bulimic patients, including a discussion of screening procedures for
prospective members and a guide for processing group dynamics. These precede the
core of the book: step-by-step descriptions of the twelve structured therapy
sessions. Interspersed throughout are group reading assignments and reflective
essays.
