Abstract
Specific and efficacious forms of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) have been developed for bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders. Indeed the most recent refinement has been a ‘transdiagnostic’ CBT for all eating disorders. This chapter discusses the most well tested and manualised CBTs for eating disorders, their theoretical basis, evidence and principles of treatment. Specific issues for the overweight patient are also discussed and further reading recommended.
