Abstract:
Anorexia Nervosa is a life-threatening eating disorder that affects approximately .9% of the population. While recovery is possible, individuals with anorexia often struggle to maintain their progress in recovery. Research demonstrates that there are a variety of factors that play an important role in the recovery process, including having a treatment team; forming healthy relationships; gaining a sense of autonomy; developing insight into one's eating disorder; giving up unhealthy control and regaining control in healthier ways; developing recovery-focused goals; improving self-worth, self-acceptance, self-esteem, and self-efficacy; taking time to self-care; planning for challenges; and maintaining changes in behavior and thought patterns. Each chapter of this workbook focuses one of these areas of recovery, providing psychoeducation, interactive and reflective exercises, and useful psychotherapeutic tools to assist in the maintenance of recovery from anorexia. This workbook is aimed for adult women to use in bibliotherapy as an adjunctive or integrative part of the recovery process.
