Cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for eating and weight disorders

Abstract

Anorexia nervosa is notoriously diffi cult to treat. Via a decade of systematic inquiry into why our treatments often fail individuals with this disorder, Dr. Tchanturia has documented an array of cognitive insuffi ciencies that may refl ect core traits that underlie anorexia and impair patients' ability to engage in treatments that require cognitive fl exibility. Richly referenced, Tchanturia and colleagues assist the reader with identifying and assessing neurocognitive profi les in individuals with anorexia and with applying interventions that aid patients in loosening their cognitive infl exibility in service of recovery. Scholarly and accessible, this volume is a musthave for clinicians and researchers working in the fi eld of eating disorders.' -
