Individuals with eating disorders often exhibit symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions, and/or obsessive-compulsive disorders. While most research-supported treatments for eating disorders focus solely on the disorder itself, they fail to address the co-occurring conditions in a comprehensive manner. Recognizing the need for a unified approach, the Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity was developed to assist individuals struggling with various types of eating disorders, as well as intense emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt.

Eating disorders encompass a range of symptoms, including attempts to restrict eating, episodes of binge eating or overeating, and compulsive or unhealthy efforts to lose weight. These symptoms are accompanied by deep-seated and distressing feelings related to body shape, weight, and eating control. The primary objective of this workbook, designed to accompany the companion Therapist Guide, is to empower individuals to overcome their unique eating and emotional challenges using a standardized set of scientifically tested tools.

The steps and exercises presented in this book are designed to help readers gain a deeper understanding of the interplay between eating and emotional issues, address the core thoughts and behaviors that underpin both disorders, and develop new flexibility and capacity in areas of life that have been affected. The strategies employed in this book are grounded in common principles found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments and have undergone extensive testing in research studies. The comprehensive research supporting these interventions is provided in the companion Therapist Guide.
