Currently, one in five Australian children suffer from an eating disorder (ED). Eating Disorder (ED) is a severe mental health condition characterised by severe disturbances in eating behaviours, related thoughts, and emotions (American Psychiatric Association [APA], (2013)). Occupational therapists have a unique skill set to assist with the recovery of an ED. As occupational therapists, we analyse the person, occupation, and environment to provide a variety of interventions to reduce/minimize occupational performance issues (OPI). This chapter will review the diagnostic criteria for the different EDs, the occupational therapy process using the Canadian Model of Occupational Performance and Engagement (CMOP-E) and the Canadian Practice Process Framework (CPPF), and apply the learnings to a case study.
