Therapists often encounter clients with mild to moderately troubling eating and weight issues, less severe than anorexia, bulimia, or binge-eating disorder. They emerge as minor themes that lurk behind major presenting problems such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, and marital discord, and therapists who aren’t looking for them may miss opportunities to address them. Koenig provides practitioners with clinical strategies and therapeutic techniques to help explore their clients’ feelings about food and their bodies in order to get at the root of these issues. Packed with insights and practical tips, this unique book teaches clinicians how to help clients make peace with food and the scale and balance nutrition and exercise inn a healthy lifestyle.
