Editorial Reviews

Review

"The strong connection between theory and research, the broad ranging and innovative examples of preventive intervention programs, and the specific recommendations for research and implementation, combine to make this a valuable resource for professionals and students."
-Ruth Striegel-Moore, Ph.D., Past President, Academy of Eating Disorders
"Building bridges academic and community-based knowledge and activism, this book describes prevention at the societal, institutional, familial, and individual levels, and focuses on increasing resilience and protective factors as well as reducing the vulnerability to appetite disorders."
-CAB ABTRACTS, 2003
