Abstract
Abstract This chapter introduces Facing Eating Disorder Fears (FEDF), an exposure-based treatment program grounded in over a decade of research and designed to target eating disorder anxiety across eating disorder diagnoses. It outlines the 16-session structure, beginning with assessment and psychoeducation; progressing through hierarchy development, in vivo exposures and imaginal exposures, and reduction of safety behaviors; and concluding with relapse prevention and termination planning. The chapter defines core eating disorder diagnoses and emphasizes transdiagnostic fear of weight gain, food, social evaluation, and personal consequences as central maintaining mechanisms. It details clinician responsibilities, including comprehensive diagnostic and medical assessment, symptom monitoring, collaborative weighing decisions, and evaluation of treatment progress across settings and levels of care. Finally, the chapter reviews empirical support for FEDF, clarifies benefits and risks, addresses implementation considerations, and assigns initial homework to establish engagement and reinforce therapeutic learning.
