Binge Focused Therapy: Examining an Accessible, Cost-effective, Guided, Self-help, Group-based Approach for the Treatment of Binge Eating Disorder
The "Brain Over Binge Recovery Guide" (Hansen, 2016), is a self-help approach that incorporates fundamental aspects of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy and addictions treatment. This approach has been streamlined into a guided self-help protocol (Binge Focused Therapy, or BFT) that can be delivered by undergraduate students with minimal mental health experience in 3 group sessions spread over 8 weeks (i.e., Week 1, Week 2, Week 8). The aim of this proof-of-concept study is to provide preliminary data to examine whether this approach is feasible and has clinical potential for patients with binge eating disorder.
