Eating Disorders by Robinson, Paul; Wade, Tracey; Herpertz-Dahlmann, Beate; Fernandez-Aranda, Fernando; Treasure, Janet; Wonderlich, Stephen;

Long description:

This Handbook covers all eating disorders in every part of the world. Eating disorders in Western countries are described but also in different parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, amongst indigenous peoples, and peoples of cultural and linguistic diversity, Latin America and Eastern Europe and we will describe the impact of pandemics.

The sections are organised with an introduction followed by definitions and classifications, then epidemiology, then psychosocial aetiology, clinical features, neurobiology, family peers and carers, and finally conclusions. The latest DSM and ICD classifications are covered and eating disorders not yet classified. The authors cover the clinical features of eating disorders complicating diabetes type 1, the neurobiology of eating disorders including immunology, neurotransmitters and appetite. The treatment section will include emergency treatment, evidence-based psychological approaches, intensive interventions and emerging areas, and the family section will include voluntary bodies, family and carers and pregnant mothers with eating disorders. Outcome covers prognosis in all the major eating disorders and describe the severe and enduring type of eating disorder.

The work is the primary source of information about eating disorders for students, doctors, psychologists and other professionals. The fact that it is regularly updated makes it second only to primary sources such as journals for retrieving information on the subject. In contrast to journals the manual will provide accessibility unavailable elsewhere.
