Group I: Counseling & Acceptance-based TherapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Nutritional Counseling \& Acceptance-based Therapy (N-CAAT) incorporates acceptance-based behavioral strategies and nutritional counseling designed to encourage willingness to tolerate distress and the ability to pursue chosen values in an adaptive manner despite distressing internal experiences. In addition to these skills, a principal focus of the treatment will be on identifying, practicing, and achieving behavioral goals, such as normalization of eating, reduction of maladaptive dietary restraint and restriction, and elimination of compensatory behaviors.
Group II: Cognitive Therapy for Eating DisordersActive Control1 Intervention
Participants in the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Eating Disorders (CBT) condition will receive 20-sessions of standard CBT for eating disorders based on the treatment approach developed by Dr. Christopher Fairburn and published in his book Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Eating Disorders.
