The fact that eating-disordered patients adopt physical and often complex metaphoric means of expressing their emotional pain suggests the difficulty we are likely to encounter in asking them to articulate the inarticulable. In moving to spatial, kinesthetic, and symbolic expression, we are, in a sense, agreeing to speak the patient's language rather than our own. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGiven the very nature of eating disorders, many clinicians are finding that experiential methods are particularly applicable for treating patients who suffer from them. Providing a valuable new tool for practitioners, EXPERIENTIAL THERAPIES FOR EATING DISORDERS is the first text to focus solely on the application of expressive therapies and experiential techniques to the treatment of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter of this innovative work systematically reviews a single experiential treatment approach. Among these are \u003cbr\u003e* guided imagery \u003cbr\u003e* hypnosis \u003cbr\u003e* structured eating \u003cbr\u003e* family sculpting\u003cbr\u003e * psychodrama and gestalt therapy \u003cbr\u003e* dance\/movement therapy \u003cbr\u003e* art therapy \u003cbr\u003e* music therapy \u003cbr\u003e* and metaphor\/poetry therapy. \u003cbr\u003eThroughout, important clinical issues that often accompany eating disorders also are addressed, including such topics as self-awareness, self-esteem, autonomy, identity, impulse regulation, affect modulation, body image, and interpersonal relationships. Countertransferential issues are examined, and areas needing further exploration such as father's role in the development of eating disorders, the hypnotizability of eating disordered patients, and the role of family in the treatment process are delineated. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe contributing authors, experienced practitioners from a variety of disciplines, systematically establish the theoretical framework of each treatment approach, fully describe specific techniques, and then consider their practical applications in both inpatient and outpatient settings--providing numerous case examples for illustration. They also offer helpful recommendations for incorporating these techniques into ongoing treatment plans. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEXPERIENTIAL THERAPIES FOR EATING DISORDERS--a valuable clinical resource for psychologists, psychiatrists, and all mental health professionals called on to treat patients suffering from anorexia and bulimia nervosa. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis innovative work illustrates the use of guided imagery, hypnosis, structured eating, family sculpting, psychodrama and gestalt therapy, and dance\/movement, art, music, and metaphor\/poetry therapy in the treatment of anorexia and bulimia nervosa.
