Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy

Authors

Christopher G. Fairburn (2008)

The CBT-E is a “transdiagnostic” treatment for all forms of eating disorder including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and other similar states​. It was developed as an outpatient treatment for adults but is available as an intensive version for day patients and inpatients. There is also a version for younger people. Detailed treatment guides are available for CBT-E.

What this tool is good for:

CBT emerged as the primary treatment for individuals with BN and BED. There is consensus regarding its transdiagnostic therapeutic effectiveness across diagnoses given its ability to target illness-maintaining features and reduce binge/purge symptomatology. Strong emerging evidence suggests that CBT may be effective when administered using group therapy, guided self-help and technology-based delivery modalities.
