El. knyga: Young Person's Guide to Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for Eating Disorders

This guide will be an invaluable resource for any young person receiving enhanced cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT-E) for eating disorders or considering this treatment. This guide intends to empower and equip a young person on their journey to recovery using a CBT-E approach. The book describes how eating problems develop and are maintained, and consequently how they can be successfully addressed. Taking part in CBT-E can be an effortful process, although the more effort a young person is able to put into therapy the more they are likely to benefit from it. This guide will help a young person to navigate this therapy and aid with challenges they might face along the way. It is also likely to be helpful for clinicians using CBT-E with young people, given its accessibility and deliberate efforts to translate any "jargon" into everyday terms.

Most eating disorder books are geared toward adults or parentsthis is one of the first to be uniquely tailored for young people themselves. Brimming with relatable real-life examples, QR codes that link to helpful worksheets, and user-friendly descriptions of cutting-edge research, A Young Persons Guide to Cognitive Behavior Therapy for Eating Disorders puts the patient in the drivers seat, encouraging them to play an active role in their own recovery. I cant wait to recommend this fantastic resource to all of my young patients receiving cognitive-behavioral therapy for their eating disorder.

This book for young people receiving CBT-E for an eating disorder is an incredibly valuable and engaging resource. It comes longside the young person and has the potential to "turbo charge" therapy by involving them as a fully informed and respected partner in the therapy.
