Our understanding of eating disorders has improved markedly over the past 10 years since the publication of the previous edition of this volume. Early intervention is the key, as body dissatisfaction, obsession with thinness, and restrained and binge eating can be found in those as young as ten.
Exploring prevention methods and therapeutic options, the second edition of Eating Disorders in Women and Children: Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment is updated with new research on these devastating maladies.
Highlights in the second edition include:
An emphasis on the physiology of eating disorders and genetic factors related to anorexia and bulimia
Theories on prevention and the identification of at-risk individuals
The latest information on therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, constructionist, and narrative approaches as well as pharmaceutical management
Nutritional evaluation and treatment
Specific exercise recommendations for women and children with eating disorders
