Review Session: Taking Stock

A review session is scheduled for the end of Step One to review the treatment progress and to plan for Step Two. Progress should be reviewed jointly, and any emerging obstacles to change identified. The personal formulation should be reviewed and updated if necessary, and the next stage of the treatment planned, selecting specific modules to address the psychopathology operating in the individual patient, as appropriate. The Healthy Weight Loss module is recommended when a patient with clinical or non-clinical obesity has significantly reduced their binge-eating episodes and does not display overvaluation of shape and weight or a personal history of anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. A subgroup of patients with binge-eating disorder (BED) achieves a complete remission of binge-eating episodes, has no other signs of eating-disorder psychopathology, and does not aim to lose weight after the end of Step One. In such cases, the treatment continues with the procedures described in the Setbacks and Mindsets and Maintenance Preparation modules.
