Eating disorders are incapacitating, mortal, and can come with high costs for society. Despite the great impact, there are very few available alternatives, psychopharmacology is used off-label, and cognitive behavioral therapy is indicated as first‐line treatment.The aim of this work is to revise the scientific evidence regarding therapeutic strategies for binge eating disorders. This disorder can be seen as a coping mechanism for negative internal experiences, such as thoughts, painful emotions, or uncontrollable urges. Besides these characteristics, studies have also shown the importance of shame and self- -criticism in eating disorders.There are several therapeutic interventions available, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), improved CBT, interpersonal psychotherapy, CBT third generations technics, and psychopharmacology. All of them approach the disorder in different angles. Therefore, it is important for the clinics to know about the differences between them, so they can offer a more individualized intervention.
