It is listed as a core treatment modality at residential programs across North America. Clinicians use it daily with clients who restrict, binge, purge, and exercise compulsively. And yet, until now, no book has been written specifically to teach clinicians how to do it well with this population. This is that book.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy Standard MI Training Falls Short\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eStandard MI workshops use substance use examples. They assume the client recognizes a problem. They assume baseline cognitive functioning. They assume that respecting client autonomy will not result in the client's death. Eating disorders break every one of these assumptions. A client with anorexia nervosa may genuinely love her restriction. A client with bulimia nervosa may hide her symptoms behind a wall of shame so thick that honest disclosure feels impossible. A client with binge eating disorder may arrive carrying years of weight stigma from healthcare providers who never once asked why she binges. Generic MI training does not prepare clinicians for any of this.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat This Book Provides\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcross twenty chapters and six clinical appendices, this guide adapts every core MI skill for eating disorder treatment. You will learn how to ask open questions that reduce defensiveness rather than trigger it, how to affirm clients without accidentally reinforcing the disorder, how to reflect in ways that separate the person from the illness, and how to build summaries that create discrepancy using the client's own words. Each chapter includes detailed case studies, clinical dialogue examples, and diagnosis-specific strategies for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and ARFID.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Applications for Complex Presentations\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book goes beyond the basics. It addresses MI with adolescents and families, MI in multidisciplinary teams, MI for co-occurring trauma and PTSD, MI adapted for autistic and ADHD clients, MI for severe and enduring eating disorders, and MI for exercise compulsion and orthorexia.
