Individuals who suffer from severe eating disorders often exhibit symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions, and/or obsessive-compulsive disorders. Regrettably, most empirically supported treatments for eating disorders fail to adequately address these comorbidities. To address this issue, the Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity was developed. This Therapist Guide offers guidance to practitioners in serving individuals who struggle with various types of eating disorders, as well as intense emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. The guide provides a unified set of interventions that can effectively address both eating issues and co-occurring emotional disorders using the same set of tools.

The treatment components aim to help identify and understand the interplay between eating and emotional issues, address automatic and core thoughts, modify behavior patterns, and develop new flexibility and capacity in areas of life affected by the disorders. Additionally, the guide provides instruction on delivering unified exposure therapy for co-occurring problems.

The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity is grounded in common principles found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments. Extensive research has been conducted to test its effectiveness, and the findings are summarized in this book. By implementing the principles outlined in this guide, practitioners can provide comprehensive and effective care to individuals with eating disorders and co-occurring emotional disorders, helping them achieve recovery and improve their overall well-being.
