Handbook of Treatment for Eating Disorders

by David M. Gartner (Editor), Paul E. Garfinkel, David M. Garner (Editor)

In this seminal work, leading clinicians and researchers present the major treatments for eating disorders, including cognitive-behavioral, educational, psychodynamic, feminist, family-based, and medical approaches. Therapeutic approaches are described in step-by-step detail and illustrated with extensive case material. Several chapters function as self-contained treatment manuals, enabling practitioners to easily learn and implement each model, as well as adapt it to suit the needs of individual patients. The volume also covers diagnosis, assessment, sequencing of treatments, and ways to manage frequently encountered co-occurring problems.

Good resource,even as a re-read.

In my personal experience at David Garner's own clinic, where we were fed a strict diet of frozen, processed, prepackaged food with not one fresh fruit or vegatable, I could sense this sexual predator's control issues seeping through his treatment philosophies. Feel free to read the following articles from way back when, when journalists had to document their sources prior to publication:

Although this book is dated it provides useful information and treatment options for those that work with clients with eating disorders.

A super dry read, but an excellent resource text. Hopefully it will be updated soon, as this second edition was published in 1997.
