Abstract
Abstract This chapter focuses on identifying the client’s core eating disorder fears and avoidance behaviors to prepare clients for engaging in vivo and imaginal exposures. It describes the use of weekly measurement-based assessment, collaborative weighing, agenda setting, and homework review to monitor symptoms and orient to treatment goals. The chapter details the structured administration of the Eating Disorder Fear Interview to identify, rate, and prioritize individualized fears that maintain eating disorder pathology. It explains the collaborative development of a functional analysis that maps feared cues, feared outcomes, and avoidance behaviors and safety behaviors and introduces the Fear and Avoidance Cycle as a psychoeducational model linking anxiety and eating disorder symptom maintenance. Finally, the chapter emphasizes consolidating learning through homework and sets up functional analysis as the foundation for subsequent in vivo and imaginal exposure interventions.
