Effectiveness Of Highly Sequenced Cognitive Behavioral Therapy For Other Specified Feeding Or Eating Disorders And Anxiety

In 1981, a researcher named Fairburn conducted the first study applying cognitive-behavioral therapy to the treatment of bulimia nervosa. In a recently published report by D. L. Spangler (1999), CBT is touted as “a well-developed, theoretically grounded treatment for bulimia nervosa with the strongest empirical support for its efficacy of any form of treatment for bulimia nervosa.” Today cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a form of therapy commonly used to treat patients with bulimia nervosa (BN).

According to the American Addiction Center (2016), Cognitive Behavior Therapy is an effective researched- based treatment modality used to treat substance abuse, eating disorders m and specific metal health diagnosis. CBT is a time- sensitive, structured, present

The Twelve steps are a part of the OA recovery program. This offers individuals a new way to cope with life that enables the compulsive eater to live without the need of excessive amount of food. I learned that the ideas expressed in the Twelve Steps, which originated in Alcoholics Anonymous, reflects experiences and spiritual insights throughout the ages. Although, there have been small changes made to make these applicable to eating disorders, but such adaptation has been minimal. According to OA, there are two models that are used; the 12-Steps of Overeaters Anonymous and the Spiritual Principles can be found in this type of meeting or group.

I took this opportunity to understand my unhealthy habits and transform my behavior. In my Wellness Recovery Action Plan, the information brought light to the obstacles and how to overcome issues. After filling out the Schedule of Recent Experience (Wieitan et al., 2009) and Tactics for Coping with Stress (Weitian et al., 2009), it was a shock how much I put my body through. A finalized copy of my results can be observed in Appendix A, and the results of the Schedule of Recent Experience (Weitian et al., 2009) can be viewed in Appendix B. In the outcome, I conducted coping mechanisms such as therapy, exercise, and nutrition. Nutrition has been a challenge as a waitress and full-time student. I am always around food at work that led to overeating.

Eating disorders affect millions of men and women every day. Bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, and binge eating disorder are three main types of eating disorders that can have detrimental consequences on the human body. These eating disorders not only deteriorate one’s body, but also eradicate the mind. “Inherent to anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa are a plethora of medical complications which correlate with the severity of weight loss or the frequency and mode of purging” (Mehler, 2015).

The subject matter in this piece suggests that you need to have prior information about cognitive behaviour as well as bulimia nervosa. This makes the target audience for this study psychologists, and psychiatrists who specialize in the field of eating disorders as well as cognitive behavioural therapy. The study investigates the comparison of two different measures of dietary restraint and how they relate, and vary in many aspects. It also provides evidence that the Eating Disorders Examinations Restraint subscale (EDE-R) is more efficient in measuring changes in

In the first article by Masheb (2011) the research was performed to determine the difference in the combination of CBT plus a low-Energy-Density diet (CBT+ED) and CBT plus General Nutrition counseling (CBT+GN) for the treatment of BED and help with weight loss. The 50 female participants were put in a computer program to randomly assign them into one of the two groups. The Clinicians doing the therapy were experienced in CBT in patients with eating disorders. The CBT+ED treatment was performs by weekly one-hours sessions on 40 minute CBT and 20 minute ED for the first 16 weeks and every other week one-hour sessions the following weeks until week 26. The CBT+GN treatment was performs by weekly one-hours sessions on 40 minute CBT and 20 minute GN for the first 16 weeks and every other week one-hour sessions the following weeks until week 26. At the end of the 26 week, the patients were sent home and a 12-month follow-up session was conducted. The primary outcomes measured were the amount of subjects who experiences a 5% weight loss, binge remission, energy density, and serving of fruits and vegetables (1).

According to Friedman (2014), the quality and productiveness of clinical care have become most important in many Western countries as the cost of health care continues to rise. Public facilities such as clinics are advice to assess and improve their treatment services as well as tools to target evidence-based practice interventions (Levy et al., 2014). On the other hand, treatment effectiveness, clinical accountability, higher standardization, and cost-effectiveness is another important factor to the administrators, policymakers’, clinicians, and patients alike, complexities comes when controlling what evidence is contemplate acceptable. Some researchers in the field of psychotherapy have suggested that clinicians are not well-enough trained

CBT treatment typically lasts about 20 weeks and can be divided into three stages (Fairburn et al., 1993). In the first stage, the cognitive view on the maintenance of bulimia is presented, and behavioral techniques are implemented to replace binge eating with more stable eating patterns. In the second stage, additional attempts are made to establish healthy eating habits, and an emphasis is placed upon the elimination of dieting. Cognitive processes (previously outlined) are focused upon extensively in this stage; the therapist and the individual examine his/her thoughts, beliefs, and values which maintain the eating problem. The final stage is concerned with maintaining the gains made in therapy once the treatment has been terminated (Fairburn et al., 1993).

Cognitive- behavioral therapy (CBT) refers to a class of psychological and behavioral interventions based on the premise that cognitive and behavioral factors play an important role in maintaining psychological disorders and distress. Taking into account the knowledge on the development and maintenance of psychological disorders and the wide range of treatment strategies available for treating disorders, CBT procedures specific to disorders have been developed to address the various underlying cognitive and behavior factors unique to the disorder (Hofmann, Asnaani, Vonk, Sawyer & Fang, 2012 and Leichsenring, Hiller, Weissberg & Leibing, 2006). Though the various disorder specific CBT procedures have variations, they share similar approach to treatment by focusing on symptom reduction and improving functionality through changing

Bulimia Nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent episodes of binge eating with inappropriate compensatory behaviors to prevent weight gain. Cognitive Behavior Therapy and antidepressant drug therapy are treatment modalities that have shown promise with patients diagnosed with eating disorders, more so with Bulimia than with Anorexia, (Comer, 2014). In this case study analysis, a synthesis of researched outcomes-based treatment modalities is used to conceptualize a diagnosis and treatment plan for a 19 year-old female client presenting with symptoms of 307.51 (F50.2) Bulimia Nervosa; extreme.

In our Western society, we have several different types of eating dysfunction, all of which are unique and tragic in their own right. Despite their individuality, however, they all have several overlapping symptoms that are key to their classification and severity. For Bulimia Nervosa (BN) and Binge Eating Disorder (BED), one of the core features is binge eating, which can be defined objectively by number of calories eaten in a given time or subjectively by the feelings of the binger. Binge eating has many different aspects that are of interest to scientists and clinicians alike. One of those interests has to do with the reduction of this symptom among populations being treated for their respective disorder. Because both

Esben concludes by saying that EFT is effective in treating all 3 cases with BED and that it could be more effective that Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT). He states that attempting to change the belief system could lead to more relapse. Thus, targeting maladaptive beliefs about thoughts and emotions could be an improved intervention for changing dysfunctional eating behaviours. However, he does not talk about its relapse rate which he talked about extensively for bariatric surgery. This makes the audience question what constitutes improved intervention. It is hard to understand if improved intervention refers to a lower relapse rate or a treatment that only reduces dysfunctional eating behaviours as in the case

Many people today eat when their emotionally such as because the person is bored, sad, anger or even happy. Obesity can be caused by things like stress or depression and can cause a number of different health implications. For example a person that is obese is more likely to have diabetes later in life and also suffer heart problems. Over 30% of today’s population seek treatment for weight problems and this is all caused through binge eating. Binge eating is when someone eats large amount of food while feeling they can’t control how much they are eating, people who seriously binge and a very obese develop a disorder call binge eating disorder. The people with this kind of eating disorder find it difficult to lose weight and also find it difficult to control how much they are eating. Many people may need serious help for example counselling or medication or even operation to

Opponents of EPBB dispute that this data-backed plan removes the psychologist from the process of treating the patient. Mahrer (2005) argues that “[t]here is almost no wiggle room left for psychotherapists who try to cling to their own preferred ways of doing psychotherapy. The good old days are over.” Perhaps to Maher, unsupported therapies from past times are good, but most psychologists and patients would disagree.
