THE RADICALLY OPEN DBT WORKBOOK FOR EATING DISORDERS

The radically open
dialectical behavior
therapy approach in this
workbook tackles the
loneliness at the heart
of eating disorders, and
encourages strong social
connections as a tool
for recovery.

Many people with eating disorders also suffer from emotional overcontrol
(OC). Based on more than twenty years of research, this breakthrough
workbook offers skills grounded in radically open dialectical behavior
therapy (RO DBT)—a proven-effective, transdiagnostic approach for
treating OC disorders. With this workbook, readers will learn healthy
coping skills, tips for building a solid support network and rich social
connections, and strategies for staying on the path to recovery.
