This book is a guide for individuals affected by eating disorders and their families on how to use exposure therapy to address the eating disorder. Exposure therapy is a treatment approach that involves confronting (rather than avoiding) challenging scenarios that evoke distress. When patients confront these distressing scenarios, although it is difficult for them, they are able to learn that their distress often decreases and they are able to tolerate this distress better than imagined.
