"By any standard, Dr. Fairburn is the leading authority in our
field, so who better to write the definitive book on binge eating?
This program is based on vast clinical experience, numerous
clinical trials, and a breadth of perspective that few possess. You
can trust this book. It is a landmark."--Kelly D. Brownell, PhD,
coauthor of Food Fight; Robert L. Flowers Professor of Public
Policy and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke
University
"It is hard to improve a classic, but that is exactly what Dr.
Fairburn has done. Overcoming Binge Eating, Second Edition, expands
on the author's highly effective treatment. This self-help guide is
filled with specific tools that can help reverse unhealthy habits
that have trapped you for years. Dr. Fairburn helps you maintain
regular eating habits, distract yourself from cravings, stop
emotional eating, and address body image issues. My colleagues and
I will be recommending this book to all of our clients who feel
their eating is out of control."--Robert L. Leahy, PhD, author of
The Worry Cure
"This invaluable second edition incorporates recent advances in the
treatment of binge eating, including new strategies for dealing
with body image issues. I recommend this user-friendly book
wholeheartedly."--G. Terence Wilson, PhD, Oscar K. Buros Professor
of Psychology, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey
"In this gem of a book, now thoroughly revised, Dr. Fairburn draws
on decades of clinical experience and research. This is a powerful
resource for anyone who wants to achieve lasting
self-change."--Ruth H. Striegel, PhD, Editor-in-Chief,
International Journal of Eating Disorders
"Readers have posted online calling the previous version of this
book 'a godsend' and 'the best book out there.' This substantially
revised second edition is as good as the first and sets the
standard for self-help books. This clearly written, practical guide
is invaluable for anyone suffering from binge eating
problems."--Roz Shafran, PhD, Institute of Child Health, University
College London, United Kingdom
"This is the book that every patient and parent should read in
order to understand what drives eating disorder behaviors. In this
remarkable guide, Dr. Fairburn translates decades of research on
therapy into steps for lasting change."--Julie Lesser, MD, Medical
Director, Center for the Treatment of Eating Disorders, Children's
Hospitals and Clinics of Minnesota and Abbott Northwestern Hospital
-“This book has proved invaluable to individuals who struggle with
binge eating, and it has become a trusted tome on the shelf of many
therapists, dietitians, and physicians who want to prescribe a
non-invasive, evidence-based approach to treating their patients
with an eating disorder….Although Fairburn himself still advocates
for paper-and-pencil monitoring (p. 134), the self-help program
presented in Overcoming Binge Eating could easily be used
synergistically with new smartphone applications…that facilitate
real-time tracking of food intake, thoughts, and feelings….Even if
the dog-eared, highlighted original is still sitting on your office
shelf, treating yourself to the second edition is well worth the
modest price.”--Academy for Eating Disorders Forum, 1/1/2014
