This book is the first to address what really happens behind closed
doors during eating disorders treatment, as most writing has only
addressed theoretical approaches and behavioral strategies. The field
has long needed a book that describes the heart of the matter: the
therapeutic interventions and interactions that comprise life-changing
treatment for this life-threatening disorder. In response to this
need, the authors have created a book that reflects the individual
therapeutic skills and the collective wisdom of senior clinicians, all of
whom have years of experience treating anorexia, bulimia, and binge
eating disorder.
Intended to be a deeply thoughtful and instructive volume, Effective
Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: The Heart of
the Matter demonstrates the depth, complexity, and impact of the
therapeutic process. In particular, the book articulates and explores
essential points of information, issues, insights and unresolved questions
about eating disorders treatment. Effective Clinical Practice in
the Treatment of Eating Disorders describes and explicates important
treatment issues and themes in a nuanced, highly contextualized and
qualitative manner. The book offers a significant reference for both
novice and seasoned therapists, and it includes specific information
that will serve to inform and mentor future generations of eating
disorders clinicians.

The middle school years are the ideal time for young teens to strengthen their self-esteem and resilience so that they can resist the pull of drugs, alcohol, sex, and body-image obsessions.
This dynamic curriculum was designed to help these youth develop skills to navigate the challenging terrain of early adolescence by teaching about self-awareness, what feelings are and how to work with them, strategies for constructive self-talk, methods for managing stress and tension, the forces that drive social comparison and cause insecurities, and media literacy (especially those messages pertaining to body-image and dissatisfaction with oneself).
The Inside/Outside Self-Discovery Program promotes emotional health and resilience by helping young teens to:
- increase internal resources that fortify healthy development
- build skills for managing the ups and downs of peer relationships
- foster the ability to resist cultural pressures to be perfect
- develop supportive inner talk to counter self-criticism
Evaluative research suggests that participation in this program enhances the coping skills needed for resilience and self-acceptance. The Inside/Outside Self-Discovery Program is ideal for anyone working to empower middle school youth.
