Handbook of Eating Disorders: Theory, Treatment and Research

by Chris Dare (Editor), George Szmukler (Editor), Janet Treasure (Editor)

Prominent contributors provide an up-to-date review of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, emphasizing the powerful ideas, hypotheses, and models which have dominated the field. Coverage includes a treatment model for hospital-based weight restoration, comparative therapy evaluations, empirical assessments of psychopathology (particularly body image), and the delineation of bulimia nervosa as an autonomous disorder. Topics reflect not only what is known today but also how progress can occur in the future.
