"Acceptance- and mindfulness-based methods are having a big impact
on the understanding and treatment of eating disorders and weight
concerns. This groundbreaking volume is the very first to cover
this cutting-edge work in a comprehensive way. Containing the most
current thinking of some of the most active researchers and
practitioners in this growing area, it will fundamentally change
how you think about these critically important areas, and empower
new approaches to old problems. Highly recommended."
--Steven C. Hayes, PhD, Foundation Professor in the Behavior
Analysis program at the University of Nevada, Reno, and codeveloper
of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT)
"For so many people who struggle with obesity and eating disorders,
traditional approaches to treatment have been ineffective, leading
to frustration and a sense of futility for patients and clinicians
alike. Mindfulness- and acceptance-based treatment approaches offer
hope for nearly half of the people who fail to benefit from
traditional treatment by integrating strategies and skills that
directly address their challenges and barriers. This excellent
book, edited and written by leaders in the fields of obesity and
eating disorders, is the first to bring together cutting-edge,
evidence-based approaches that incorporate mindfulness- and
acceptance-based principles. Clinicians, educators, and researchers
alike will find this volume extremely useful in advancing their
knowledge and practice for addressing the vexing challenges of
obesity and eating disorder treatment."
--Nancy E. Sherwood, PhD, senior investigator and director of
scientific development research at HealthPartners Institute for
Education and Research
"Researchers and clinicians alike struggle to make interventions
for eating disorders and obesity more effective. This book is the
first to bring together thought leaders from around the globe in
order to consider innovative acceptance- and mindfulness-based
approaches for the management of eating behavior and body image. I
strongly recommend this unique resource."
--Lucene Wisniewski, PhD, FAED, Chief Clinical Integrity Officer of
The Emily Program
"This excellent volume provides health professionals a front-row
seat to examine third-wave cognitive behavioral therapies for
eating disorders and obesity. Practitioners will appreciate the
detailed clinical descriptions of acceptance and commitment therapy
(ACT), mindfulness-based approaches, and related interventions.
Researchers will find the volume balanced in its assessment of the
benefits of these new approaches, as well as of what remains to be
learned of their long-term efficacy and mechanisms of action. Make
space on your book shelf for this welcomed contribution!"
--Thomas A. Wadden, PhD, Albert J. Stunkard Professor of psychology
in psychiatry, and director of the Center for Weight and Eating
Disorders at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of
Pennsylvania
"This innovative book brings together an international collection
of clinical researchers who can knowledgably speak to the issue of
introducing "third-wave" models to our understanding of eating
disordered individuals. Carefully weaving constructs such as
mindfulness, acceptance, awareness, and tolerance into their
chapters, the authors astutely enhance conceptual understanding
through their theories, and also introduce useful clinical
techniques and strategies for clinicians. Focusing on both eating
disorders and weight management, the book covers an extremely broad
range of scientific and clinical topics that will be useful to
clinical researchers and clinicians alike. This book goes a long
way in terms of refining ideas that will ultimately enhance
scientific studies of mindfulness and acceptance techniques for
eating disordered individuals in the future!"
--Stephen Wonderlich, PhD, Chester Fritz Distinguished Professor
and associate chairman in the department of psychiatry and
behavioral science at University of North Dakota School of Medicine
and Health Sciences, and chair of eating disorders at Sanford
Health
"This new book, Mindfulness and Acceptance for Treating Eating
Disorders and Weight Concerns, brings together contributions by the
major groups working in these relatively new, yet exciting areas.
The chapters are well chosen, clinically informed, and provide a
comprehensive survey of the important advances in these fields.
This work is highly recommended to clinicians, students, and
scholars working in these areas."

neuroscience at Chester Fritz, Distinguished Professor of
