As leading experts, the contributors to Eating Disorders reflect on advances that hold promise for significantly increasing knowledge in their field. Their arguments, grounded in theory and informed by empirical research, integrate a range of disparate literatures, from which they tap new methods for bold and innovative approaches to etiology, classification, treatment, and prevention.
They suggest methods for refining diagnostic criteria; examine the respective roles of risk and protective factors; propose an intriguing extension of the cognitive-behavior model; examine the self-help arena; and integrate the literature on body image, obesity, and eating disorders.
This book will be useful to researchers, practitioners, educators, and any individual interested in advancing a constructive new agenda for eating disorder research and practice.
