In this comprehensive book, the authors delve into their clinical daily practice, sharing invaluable strategies and procedures for assessing and treating complex cases of eating disorders. Their strategic and pragmatic approach to managing medical and psychiatric comorbidity, while incorporating enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT-E), an evidence-based treatment recommended for all eating disorder categories, both in adults and adolescents, is of utmost importance.

The book is organized into two main parts. Part I provides a comprehensive understanding of eating disorder psychopathology and its consequences, serving as a crucial foundation for determining whether patients truly exhibit comorbidity or if it is merely spurious. It then offers an overview of CBT-E, outlining its implementation at various care levels and within a multidisciplinary team.

Part II delves into the general strategies employed to address comorbidity in individuals with eating disorders, while also providing specific techniques and procedures for managing the most common mental and general medical conditions that coexist alongside these disorders. This volume serves as a valuable and indispensable resource for all clinicians, including endocrinologists, nutritionists, dietitians, psychologists, and psychiatrists, who specialize in the treatment of obesity and eating disorders.

By incorporating these comprehensive approaches, healthcare professionals can effectively address the multifaceted nature of these conditions, providing patients with the comprehensive care and support they need to achieve recovery and improve their overall well-being.
