Abstract
Abstract This introductory chapter presents Facing Eating Disorder Fears (FEDF), an evidence-based exposure therapy program that targets anxiety underlying anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and other specified feeding and eating disorders. It outlines the guide’s 10-chapter structure, emphasizing psychoeducation, skill development, in vivo exposure and imaginal exposure, emotional processing, habituation, inhibitory learning, and relapse prevention. The chapter establishes the clinical rationale for applying exposure therapy to eating disorders by highlighting functional similarities with anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, and obsessive–compulsive disorder and referencing supporting research. It describes the program’s active treatment framework, including structured sessions, therapist guidance, individualized fear hierarchies, systematic exposure practice, and homework that promotes skill generalization and self-efficacy. Finally, the chapter explains the theoretical foundations of habituation and inhibitory learning and positions FEDF as a comprehensive clinical guide that prepares therapists to address eating disorder fears and facilitate sustained recovery.
