Overcoming Binge Eating is designed to provide a readable and authoritative account of binge eating problems and how to overcome them. Part I presents the most current facts while Part II comprises a self-help program based on the latest version of the most effective treatment available. The programme can be used by anyone with a binge eating problem (including those with binge eating disorder and bulimia nervosa) so long as they are not substantially underweight.
The original version of Overcoming Binge Eating was published in 1995. Since then Part I has become established as a leading source of information on binge eating problems. Meanwhile the treatment program in Part II has been investigated in numerous clinical trials making it possibly the most extensively tested self-help program for any problem. It has repeatedly been found to be a potent source of help, either when used on its own or when used with external support (guided self-help). As a result, the program has become established as a leading treatment for binge eating problems. In recognition of this, Overcoming Binge Eating was awarded the Seal of Merit from the US Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies and in the UK National Health Service doctors can prescribe the book as if it were a form of medication.
As new knowledge is acquired from empirical research, it leads to advancements in treatment. As a result, the second edition is essentially a new book. It continues to provide a comprehensive and up to date account of what we know about binge eating problems, including those seen in anorexia nervosa, but it also provides much more information about dieting, body weight and body image.
Eating disorders are serious mental illnesses that are associated with potentially life-threatening physical effects. Eating disorders involve unhelpful beliefs about eating, weight and shape and unhelpful behaviours (such as binge-eating, purging, or driven exercise) that ultimately keep people stuck in their disorder. These behaviours have significant impacts on physical, psychological and social functioning. With appropriate support, recovery from an eating disorder is absolutely possible.
