There is structure with CBT treatment.  Especially during the initial phase of treatment, CBT has a logical, stepwise sequence for introducing concepts, psychoeducation, and stratigies for change.  In addition to the time in session, CBT requires homework.  This work includes self-monitoring of eating and related social, and interpersonal experiences, as well as behavioral and cognitive exercises.

Motivation and investment are issues that come up during CBT and often sufferers will be invested in some recovery goals and not others.  It is essential to honestly explore the client’s thinking about the advantages and disadvantages of their symptoms.  However, there are things that are not negotiable and efforts are made by the CBT therapist to ensure that the patient understands the parameters of treatment.  These parameters involve management of situations where the patient is imminent danger to herself or others.  It is recommend to address weight monitoring and weight loss, when inpatient treatment is indicated, and the pursuit of involuntary inpatient admission.
