Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teenagers are twice as likely to have bulimia nervosa than anorexia nervosa, and are often more motivated to seek help. Yet while well-tested therapies exist for anorexia, until now there has been a total lack of evidence-based treatment guidelines for bulimia. This state-of-the-art manual is the first to focus specifically on this significant clinical population. The authors present a time-limited bulimia treatment that is based on the proven Maudsley approach to treating anorexia, and that has been demonstrated effective in a controlled clinical trial at the University of Chicago.
