Synopsis:

What does the evidence suggest is the most effective treatment for an individual with Anorexia Nervosa? What treatment is effective for someone with Bulimia Nervosa? Is there data to support the treatment of Binge Eating Disorder? Is there any evidence to support what treatment will be effective for Obesity? These important considerations will be reviewed in this current and comprehensive review of the existing evidence-based practices. This will serve as a resource for individuals with an eating disorder, their families, practitioners, students in nutrition, psychology, social work and psychiatry, as well as the general public. Anorexia Nervorsa, Bulima Nervosa, Binge Eating Disorder and Obesity are prevalent public health concerns that cause significant morbidity and mortality. As the scientific literature accumulates a body of information regarding these clinical problems, this book serves as an invaluable reference providing a summary of the current evidence in the literature.

Review: "Given the many behavioural complexities of eating disorders and widely varying accounts of their essential nature, it is hardly surprising that the skills required for balanced understanding and effective management of these puzzling conditions are similarly diverse. The value of this well-written and comprehensive text owes to its internationally-recognised group of contributors who lay out important strands of research alongside specific modalities of treatment. The detail each chapter contains will surely appeal to readers in each of the clinical disciplines that confront the everyday challenge these patients present." -- Michael Strober, David Geffen School of Medicine at University of California, Los Angeles, ED., Int.
