Anorexia Nervosa and Related Eating Disorders in Childhood and Adolescence

by Bryan Lask, Rachel Bryant-Waugh

This is the second edition of a book first published in 1993, the first to be devoted entirely to eating disorders in childhood and adolescence. The editors have both worked in the field for fifteen years and have unrivalled experience of this particular population. Topics covered include an overview of eating disorders in this population, epidemiology, aetiology, prognosis and outcome, assessment (both physical and psychosocial), and management, including specific types of therapy. Additional chapters deal with schooling and ethical and legal issues.
