These preliminary studies of effectiveness indicate that CBT can be delivered with strong outcomes in routine clinical settings. However, it is well-established that clinicians routinely fail to use CBT when working with the eating disorders (e.g., Tobin, Banker, Weisberg, & Bowers, 2007) or that they deliver it in sub-optimal ways (Waller, Stringer, & Meyer, 2012), expressing concerns about the use of those core CBT techniques (e.g., Turner, Tatham, Lant, Mountford, Waller, 2014) and discounting the use of evidence-based manuals to support their work (e.g., Waller et al., 2013). Therefore, there is a need for further evidence from other routine clinical settings to demonstrate that CBT for the eating disorders is an effective treatment, which others can use in their own clinics. This study aims to build on previous work by testing the effectiveness of CBT in a further routine clinical setting. It reports clinical outcomes for a large group of transdiagnostic patients who were offered CBT in a community eating disorders service in the UK. Unlike previous studies, there were very few exclusion criteria and no BMI cut-off. In this case, the variant of CBT used was based on a combination of elements from the relatively similar approaches of Fairburn (2008) and Waller et al. (2007), as used by Byrne et al. (2011) and Waller et al. (2014) respectively.
