Binge-Eating Disorder: Clinical Foundations and Treatment

by James E. Mitchell, Michael J. Devlin, Martina de Zwaan

This innovative scientific reference and clinical tool is virtually two books in one. Part I thoroughly yet succinctly reviews the literature on binge-eating disorder, covering diagnosis and epidemiology, clinical features and course, links to obesity, medical risks, and current treatment data. Part II provides an evidence-based cognitive-behavioral treatment manual. Session-by-session guidelines address how to help individuals or groups change their eating behavior, cope with emotional triggers, restructure problematic thoughts, deal with body image concerns and associated problems, maintain improvement, and prevent relapse. Featured are more than 40 clearly explained homework assignments and handouts, all in a large-size format with permission to photocopy.

Using this to DIY my BED treatment because I can't afford therapy.

Very thorough. I especially liked the second part that discusses CBT.
