This study presents a novel application of the cognitive processing model of alcohol craving (CPMA) from the addictions field to the role of food craving in the well-established restrained eating–overeating relationship associated with binge eating disorder (BED).

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy For Binge Eating Disorder In Adolescence, Rebekah Gohl

Psychology: Student Scholarship & Creative Works

Eating disorders are among the most prevalent psychological disorders for the adolescent population.

While evidence on the efficacy of this treatment is limited, all research supports the use of cognitive behavioral therapy in treating binge eating disorder. More research on treatment of binge eating disorder must be conducted as adolescence is a crucial time for identity formation.

As a result, empirical support and patient preferences for treatment are not consistently considered in the selection and implementation …
