About The Treatment Of Eating Disorders: A Clinical
Product Description Eminently practical and authoritative, this comprehensive clinical handbook brings together leading international experts on eating disorders to describe the most effective treatments and how to implement them. Coverage encompasses psychosocial, family-based, medical, and nutritional therapies for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other eating disorders and disturbances. Especially noteworthy are "mini-manuals" that present the nuts and bolts of 11 of the treatment approaches, complete with reproducible handouts and forms. The volume also provides an overview of assessment, treatment planning, and medical management issues. Special topics include psychiatric comorbidities, involuntary treatment, support for caregivers, childhood eating disorders, and new directions in treatment research and evaluation. Review "This is a big book with a big task. Well-chosen authors contribute 35 chapters and over 550 pages of well-referenced text. In the world of systematic reviews and electronic literature searching, there is still an important role for a high-quality reference that offers not only data, but also perspective. This volume fills that role. It deserves to do well."--Bob Palmer, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester, United Kingdom "Edited by two leaders in the field, with chapters from a 'who's who' of cutting-edge researchers and clinicians, this book is an outstanding resource. It is a top-rate presentation of all the needed information."--Kelly D. Brownell, PhD, Robert L. Flowers Professor of Public Policy and Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, Duke University "A superb resource, presenting the best perspectives of an internationally renowned group of the field's leading authorities. The handbook accomplishes several feats. First, its clearly written chapters review the tried and true; next, it updates the growing evidence base on which clinical practices have increasingly relied; and finally, it describes some of the newer and still-evolving theoretical paradigms and treatment strategies for eating disorders, several of which have not previously appeared in major texts. This collection represents as clear a status report as I've seen regarding how the field is thinking about what current and emerging treatments can offer....Clinicians and students interested in the assessment and treatment of patients with eating disorders will definitely want to own this book. It's a keeper." ― Journal of Clinical Psychiatry Published On: 2011-03-20 "The authors in this text are leading experts on the topic and they have contributed specific treatments and state-of-the-art treatment approaches. The 35 chapters comprehensively cover what is known about diagnoses, treating serious eating disorders, and what needs to be learned to improve diagnosis and treatment. One distinctive feature of this primarily clinical handbook is the inclusion of 'mini-manuals' describing specific treatment approaches....There are also illustrative clinical examples modeling the use of specific techniques....This well-written clinical handbook is a valuable addition to the literature on eating disorders. It covers all the basics, beginning with diagnoses, following with treatment, and lastly, addressing research needs. This book serves both as a teaching function and a reference work. It is a valuable and worthwhile contribution to the field." ― Bulletin of the Menninger Clinic Published On: 2011-03-20 "A comprehensive guide that covers the treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder in significant depth. For each of these conditions, there is a chapter on pharmacotherapy as well as many chapters on the different types of psychotherapy for that disorder. The volume, which is authored by multiple authors, including many prominent names in the eating disorders field, is divided into five parts and contains 35
