Treating bulimia in adolescents: a family-based approach

"Teenagers are twice as likely to have bulimia nervosa than anorexia nervosa, and are often more motivated to seek help. Yet while well-tested therapies exist for anorexia, until now there has been a total lack of evidence-based treatment guidelines for bulimia. This state-of-the-art manual is the first to focus specifically on this significant clinical population. The authors present a time-limited bulimia treatment that is based on the proven Maudsley approach to treating anorexia, and that has been demonstrated effective in a controlled clinical trial at the University of Chicago." --Book Jacket.
