Now in an updated and expanded second edition, Anorexia Nervosa And Related Eating Disorders In Childhood And Adolescence is devoted entirely to the eating disorders of childhood and adolescence. The editors draw upon fifteen years of experience in the field. The contributors are all clinicians or researchers with whom the editors have worked over the years and bring a unique experience of their own areas of expertise. The topics covered include an overview of eating disorders in children and adolescents, epidemiology, aetiology, prognosis and outcome, assessment (both physical and psychosocial), and management -- including specific types of therapy. Additional chapters deal with schooling, ethical, and legal issues. There are also contributions by a young person who had an eating disorder as a child, and the mother of a young sufferer. Comprehensive, authoritative, insightful, clearly written, Anorexia Nervosa And Related Eating Disorders In Childhood And Adolescence is recommended reading to medical service providers, parents, and care-givers of any child or adolescent suffering from or at risk to any eating disorder.
