This treatment guide equips therapists with the necessary tools to implement the leading recommended treatment for eating disorders, “enhanced” cognitive behavior therapy (CBT-E), in a group format.
Group CBT-E is a structured treatment designed to help patients make critical changes to their eating, dieting, and other eating disorder symptoms. It aims to engage patients in identifying and addressing over-evaluation of shape and weight, managing stressful events and emotions without eating disorder behaviors, and developing relapse prevention skills. The treatment guide includes detailed session agendas and outlines, practical tips, advice on addressing sensitive topics, and numerous reproducible handouts that patients can personalize for their treatment needs. Group CBT-E empowers patients to actively engage in their recovery journey and emphasizes the valuable support found in group therapy settings, where shared experiences foster learning, encouragement, and a sense of understanding. The treatment’s structured and individualized approach not only enhances patient outcomes, but also boosts therapist confidence.
This book is a vital resource for therapists seeking clear guidance on implementing CBT-E in group format. Its practical components, such as clinical examples, therapist insights, patient handouts, and detailed CBT-E formulation guidance, are useful for all CBT-E therapists.

The Department of Eating and Weight Disorders at Villa Garda Hospital holds the distinction of being the inaugural unit in Italy solely devoted to the intensive treatment of eating disorders. Established in 1984, the unit has been notable for its pioneering approach, seamlessly integrating clinical practice with research endeavours. This unique blend has significantly shaped the management protocols for eating disorders both within Italy and on a global scale.
In commemorating the 40th anniversary of Villa Garda’s eating disorder clinical service, this article reflects on the pivotal developments that have marked that journey and addresses the prospective challenges to advance treatment methodologies in the future.
