DBT Principles and Strategies in the Multidisciplinary Treatment of Eating Disorders

By showing the multidisciplinary application of DBT tools and techniques, this book gives providers of all disciplines a shared language and framework that can assist with multidisciplinary case conceptualization, treatment planning, and therapeutic interventions (rather than leaving providers operating in discipline-specific silos that are often atheoretical or eclectic in terms of their framework for conceptualizing and providing care). Exercises embedded throughout the text focus on helping providers implement what they are learning in their day-to-day clinical practice. The book is replete with activities that are focused specifically on assisting providers in implementing DBT strategies, like diary cards, chain analyses, exposure-based procedures, and cognitive modification procedures. Lastly, there is an emphasis on how DBT concepts and methods can be applied in different settings, especially in inpatient, residential, and partial hospitalization settings.
