An Integrated Psychotherapy for Eating-disorder Patients
Abstract
This paper presents a rationale for integrating brief dynamic and cognitive-behavioral techniques in the treatment of eating-disorder patients. It emphasizes psychodynamic work useful in neutralizing defenses and resistances to therapy, which aids access to key conflicts and characterological issues. The more interpersonal, transference-based aspects of such work are illustrated, and suggestions are made as to when to shift among various therapeutic strategies.
