Abstract
Abstract This chapter outlines the rationale, structure, and procedures for collaboratively creating a Fear and Avoidance Hierarchy as a central component of FEDF, following psychoeducation and functional analysis. It details session organization, assessment procedures, agenda setting, weighing practices, and homework review, emphasizing systematic monitoring of eating disorder fears and symptoms to assess progress in treatment. The chapter explains how therapists and clients jointly generate a list of exposures for the Fear and Avoidance Hierarchy, quantify anticipated distress using the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS), and rank exposures to construct an individualized hierarchy. It describes therapist strategies for guiding hierarchy development such as ensuring a range of difficulties to support learning and progress assessment. Finally, the chapter explains how the hierarchy directs exposure selection for clients to complete between sessions.
