'This practical, accessible manual, written by two of the leading
experts in the emerging avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder
(ARFID) field, will be a very welcome addition to the clinician's
library. I anticipate that it will quickly become a much used
volume by anyone offering care and treatment to patents with this
disorder. Until now there has been very little by way of guidance
in terms of evidence based treatments specifically for ARFID. This
clearly written book, based on sound theoretical principles,
enables the outstanding skills, expertise and insights of its
authors to be shared by a much wider audience, which can only
benefit patient care.' Rachel Bryant-Waugh, Head of the Feeding and
Eating Disorders Service, the Department of Child and Adolescent
Mental Health (DCAMH), Great Ormond Street Hospital for
Children
'It is rare that a newly conceptualized mental disorder is
introduced into systems of nosology without an existing treatment
approach with some evidence for efficacy; but, this was the case
with avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID). Now, from
one of the leading eating disorders centers in the world comes a
very well-conceived stage model of intervention that can be
personalized for the individual patient, as well as the patient's
family. Anyone treating eating disorders should find this new
clinical manual invaluable.' David H. Barlow, Boston University
'Avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder (ARFID) sounds a little
less unfamiliar today than when it was introduced by DSM-5 only
five years ago. Since then, a small cadre of clinical researchers
has devoted considerable energy to explore treatments for this
patient population. Thomas and Eddy have been leaders in this
domain. Through their focused efforts, the authors have put
together an extraordinarily helpful treatment manual that everyone
who wants to learn more about ARFID, whether a treating clinician,
curious trainee, or worried parent, would be well advised to
consult. This clinician manual first provides the reader with an
excellent psycho-educational overview of ARFID, before delineating
the four stages of CBT-AR. The authors round out this manual by
demonstrating their treatment approach by way of five elucidating
clinical case examples. This book is a most welcome addition to the
small family of clinical treatment manuals for eating disorders.'
Daniel Le Grange, University of California, San Francisco
'As an ARFID advocate, author on the topic, and mother to a
recovered child with ARFID, I couldn't be more thrilled with this
book. Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for avoidant/restrictive food
intake disorder is vital toward the education and treatment of
ARFID. With comprehensive and detailed information, workable steps
for treatment, and actual case studies, this book is desperately
needed in the eating disorder community, and one that I wish had
been available when our family was struggling to find answers.
There is much to learn about ARFID, but this manual is a terrific
starting point in helping clinicians, physicians, therapists, and
even parents learn more about this very prevalent and very
mysterious eating disorder that affects children and adults of all
ages.' Stephanie Elliot, ARFID advocate, author of Sad Perfect
'This book is important. For the first time we have a detailed yet
comprehensive account of how to treat patients with
'avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder'. The authors are to be
congratulated on producing this invaluable resource.' Christopher
G. Fairburn, University of Oxford
