Trauma-Informed Approaches to Eating Disorders
Andrew Seubert, NCC, LMHC
Pam Virdi, MEd, RMN, CPN
The most comprehensive and practical book examining the relationship between trauma, dissociation, and eating disorders
This hands-on clinical guide delivers a trauma-informed phase model that promotes effective treatment for individuals with all forms of eating disorders. The second edition includes the addition of new chapters addressing the impact of a variety of contemporary issues—such as racism, LGBTQIA+ bias, COVID-19, and neurodiversity—on eating disorders as well as the treatment of eating disorders and trauma on children and teens. Case studies are also included throughout the text to illustrate these issues among all types of clients with eating disorders.
Underscoring its effectiveness, the book describes in depth a four-phase treatment model encompassing team coordination, case formulation, and a trauma-informed, dissociation- and attachment-sensitive approach to treating eating disorders. Authored and edited by noted specialists in eating and other behavioral health disorders, the text examines these maladies from neurological, medical, nutritional, and psychological perspectives. Dedicated chapters address each treatment phase from a variety of orientations, ranging from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to body-centered and creative therapies. Recognizing the potential pitfalls and traps of treatment and recovery, it also includes abundant psychoeducational tools for the client. Purchase includes online access via most mobile devices or computers.
