"Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders - The Heart of the Matter"
Edited by Margo Maine, William N. Davis, Jane Shure Routledge. 2008
Chapter 12 The Embodied Therapist: Perspectives on Treatment, Personal Growth, and Supervision Related to Body Image. (pp. 179 - 192)

This book is the first to address what really happens behind closed doors during eating disorders treatment, as most writing has only addressed theoretical approaches and behavioral strategies. The field has long needed a book that describes the heart of the matter: the therapeutic interventions and interactions that comprise life-changing treatment for this life-threatening disorder. In response to this need, the authors have created a book that reflects the individual therapeutic skills and the collective wisdom of senior clinicians, all of whom have years of experience treating anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating disorder.

"Effective Clinical Practice in the Treatment of Eating Disorders - The Heart of the Matter" offers a significant reference for both novice and seasoned therapists, and it includes specific information that will serve to inform and mentor future generations of eating disorders clinicians.
