Scheme-therapy in the treatment of eating disorders. Simpson S., Smith E.

Patients who do not respond to standard methods of treating food disorders may face some restrictions. The therapy scheme is one of the new exciting directions in the treatment of such clinical cases, since it offers a really necessary model of unification of both development factors and deeper personality factors. This book - the first one of a kind - helps clinicians use schematic models for patients with rooted or stable pathologies of food behavior and encourages further clinical studies of this approach to treatment. The book, written by the international team of leading specialists in the scheme-therapy, with the preface of Wendy Behari and Jeffrey Yang, is based on their clinical knowledge and research experience. The authors of the comprehensive and practical leadership introduce the reader to the rapidly growing evidence base of the scheme-therapy, outline in general terms the use of this model in diagnostic groups of eating disorders, in individual and group format, and also examine practical considerations, general problems and therapeutic process. The book includes detailed examples of clinical cases that provide a theoretical and practical basis for working with the transfer and chemistry of the “therapist -client” scheme, and also briefly describe the methods of self -help therapist in the face of complex and often long -term work. Innovative and affordable materials will become an invaluable resource for clinicians in the treatment of eating disorders.
