This book is a crucial resource for clinicians and researchers working with eating disorders. It introduces, for the first time, the implementation of 'enhanced cognitive behavior therapy' (CBT-E) adapted for group delivery. The text provides comprehensive guidance on adapting group CBT sequentially for outpatient treatment and modularly/non-sequentially for higher levels of care. Including therapist insight boxes and approximately 70 handoutscomprising worksheets for patients and informational sheetsthis book equips therapists to deliver the treatment well and address challenges they might face. I am eager to recommend this exceptional resource to all my students and colleagues.
