Description
Re-Thinking Eating Disorders: Language, Emotion, and the Brain by Barbara Pearlman This book offers a fresh approach to understanding eating disorders, integrating ideas from psychoanalysis, developmental psychology, and neuroscience. By exploring how symbolic thinking gives way to concrete thinking, Pearlman identifies a key event that may precede an eating disorder episode. Pearlman presents a new model for treatment, known as internal language enhancement therapy (ILET), which is explored in detail throughout the book with case studies and therapeutic techniques. This approach provides clinicians working with eating disorders clients with a valuable tool to enhance their practice. Suitable for students and practitioners seeking an up-to-date and integrative approach to therapy, Re-Thinking Eating Disorders will appeal to those looking for a comprehensive understanding of these complex conditions.
