This chapter provides a description and reviews the research evidence for the adaptation of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) for eating disorders (EDs). First, the chapter briefly describes the standard DBT program as originally developed for women with borderline personality disorder (BPD). Second, the rationale for the adaptation of DBT for EDs is reviewed. Third, the DBT model of maintenance and etiology of EDs is discussed. Fourth, the randomized controlled trial evidence for DBT for BPD is reviewed as well as that for DBT for EDs. Finally, the DBT program for EDs is outlined. It is concluded that DBT is a promising treatment for EDs, worthy of further investigation with this population.

This chapter provides a description and review of the research evidence for the adaptation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and emotion-focused therapies for eating disorders (EDs). First, the chapter briefly describes the standard DBT program as originally developed for women with borderline personality disorder (BPD) and the evidence for standard DBT with BPD. Second, the rationale for the adaptation of DBT for EDs is given and preliminary evidence for DBT and other emotion-focused treatments is described. Finally, the Stanford DBT program for EDs is outlined. Given the promise of alternative treatments for eating disorders, further development, adaptation, and testing of transdiagnostic emotion regulation treatments is warranted.

Destructive Behaviors

Individuals with eating disorders (EDs) tend to have elevated rates of comorbid borderline personality disorder (BPD). A number of studies have found that individuals with both ED and BPD present with a more complicated clinical picture compared to individuals with ED alone, both in terms of eating pathology and in terms of more severe problems with depression, anxiety, impulse control, and affect dysregulation. Therapists are often faced with clinical dilemmas with regard to limiting therapy-interfering behaviors and attending to health-threatening or self-destructive behaviors without reinforcing them while ensuring that these behaviors do not supersede the therapeutic focus on ED symptoms, potentially reinforcing self-destructive behaviors. This chapter offers guidelines for responding to therapy-interfering behaviors in this population from the perspective of dialectical behavior therapy, with a case example to illustrate these principles.
