- Family therapy is effective for clients with
anorexia; cognitive-behavioral therapy is
most effective for clients with bulimia. - Interventions for clients with eating dis-
orders include establishing nutritional eat-
ing patterns, helping the client to identify
emotions and develop non–food-related cop-
ing strategies, helping the client to deal with
body image issues, and providing client and
family education. - Focus on healthy eating and pleasurable
physical exercise; avoid fad or stringent diet-
ing. Parents must become aware of their
own behavior and attitudes and the way
they influences children.
