The eating disorders provide one of the strongest indications for cognitive behaviour therapy. This bold claim arises from the demonstrated effectiveness of cognitive behaviour therapy in the treatment of bulimia nervosa and the widespread acceptance that cognitive behaviour therapy is the treatment of choice. Cognitive behaviour therapy is also widely used to treat anorexia nervosa although this application has not been adequately evaluated. Recently its use has been extended to ‘eating disorder not otherwise specified’ (eating disorder NOS), a diagnosis that applies to over 50 per cent of cases, and emerging evidence suggests that it is just as effective with these cases as it is with cases of bulimia nervosa. In this chapter the cognitive behavioural approach to the understanding and treatment of eating disorders will be described. The data on the efficacy and effectiveness of the treatment are considered in the chapters on anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa (see Chapters 4.10.1 and 4.10.2 respectively), as is their general management.

AbstractThe eating disorders provide one of the strongest indications for cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). This bold claim arises from two sources: first, the fact that eating disorders are essentially cognitive disorders and second, the demonstrated effectiveness of CBT in the treatment of bulimia nervosa, which has led to the widespread acceptance that CBT is the treatment of choice. In this paper the cognitive behavioural approach to the understanding and treatment of eating disorders will be described. A brief summary of the evidence for this account and of the data supporting the efficacy and effectiveness of this form of treatment will be provided. Challenges for the future development and dissemination of the treatment will be identified.

Chapter 9 discusses eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa. It reviews the scientific standing and practice of cognitive behaviour therapy as applied to eating disorders, including a rationale for the use of cognitive behaviour therapy, its efficacy, an outline of the treatments themselves, and the utility of the cognitive behavioural approach.
