An art-therapy framework for examining body image in eating-disorder treatment

Mury Rabin presents PNBIT (Phenomenal and Nonphenomenal Body Image Tasks), a structured art-therapy approach centered on body image and the underlying issues the method associates with eating disorders. The program combines observable exercises—such as recording weight, viewing oneself in a mirror, and estimating body dimensions—with image-based tasks including family-line drawings and body-image mandalas. Rabin also situates PNBIT alongside other therapeutic approaches and explains how clinicians beyond art therapists can use the tasks. Five case studies show how the framework is applied in practice, making the book both a presentation of a specific method and a clinical resource organized around its use.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Clinicians interested in art-therapy approaches to eating disorders
  • Mental-health professionals seeking structured body-image exercises
  • Readers studying psychotherapy and counseling methods

Book overview

Art Therapy and Eating Disorders is a step-by-step approach to a new and extremely promising technique for treating people with eating disorders--children as well as adults, male and female sufferers alike--that has proven to be a crucial aid to identification, prevention, and intervention. Mury Rabin demonstrates how her award-winning art therapy technique, known as Phenomenal and Nonphenomenal Body Image Tasks or "PNBIT," can be used by clinicians other than art therapists and shows its effectiveness in combination with diverse therapeutic techniques.

Unlike traditional therapy programs that treat symptoms, this technique focuses on root causes and consists of a series of tasks--some phenomenal: weight recording, mirror viewing, and body dimension estimates; others not: chromatic family line drawings and body image mandalas. The book includes five case studies that illustrate how the PNBIT technique functions in practice.
