People with eating disorders who also struggle with co-occurring high-risk or dysregulated behaviors are often not well served by standard eating disorder therapies. From pioneering treatment developers Anita Federici and Lucene Wisniewski, this book presents a groundbreaking adaptation of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for individuals with multidiagnostic eating disorder (MED) presentations.

Explore the adapted MED-DBT Diary Card developed by the authors to integrate DBT and ED targets in a single, cohesive tool. Traditional ED behaviors are tracked alongside suicide, self-injury, and other emotion regulation difficulties—supporting more comprehensive and coordinated treatment.
