Joel Yager, MD, Professor and Vice Chair for Education, University of New Mexico School of Medicine; Professor Emeritus, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute; President-Elect, Academy for Eating Disorders; Editor-in-Chief, Eating Disorders Review
The Handbook of Treatments for Eating Disorders is a stunning achievement. The editors have assembled a group of the world's leading authorities to provide us with a volume that simultaneously presents the broadest range of contemporary biological, psychological, and social perspectives for understanding and dealing with these complex disorders, and with the depth and sophistication that each subject deserves. Novices and experienced practitioners alike will find a great deal to value and re-read. In these pages you will find considerable scholarship, wisdom and experience, and a great deal of down-to-earth practical advice and information on assessment and treatment. Several of the chapters are virtual treatment manuals, offering detailed, step-by-step guidance for practitioners

"The book edited by these authors in 1985 on the treatment of eating disorders was the standard at that time. This new volume, which has contributions by the leading authorities in each field, is a worthy successor. It is an important new reference and is likely to be the new standard for the field of eating disorders." --Walter H. Kaye, MD, Director, Eating Disorder Program, Department of Psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh
"Written by an internationally renowned group of experts, this state-of-the-art compendium is an essential companion for clinicians working with eating disorders." --David B. Herzog, MD, Massachusetts General Hospital Research

All mental health professionals will be well served by studying these chapters. Not only will this information provide substantial benefits in helping patients with eating disorders, but readers can expect that the positive carryover of these lessons to almost all other areas of clinical concern will be enormous." --Joel Yager, MD, Professor and Vice Chair for Education, University of New Mexico School of Medicine; Professor Emeritus, UCLA Neuropsychiatric Institute; President-Elect, Academy for Eating Disorders; Editor-in-Chief, Eating Disorders Review
"...remarkable....this handbook is particularly valuable for professionals wanting state-of-the-art information as well as for newcomers needing authoritative overviews. The 30 chapters are all well grounded in research and written primarily by clinicians on the cutting edge of the treatment research literature. ...Superb chapter references. 'Must reading' for professionals and general health care practitioners." --R. Kabatznick, Choice

"...an excellent resource for anyone interested in or working with eating disorders." --Ventures: Enterprising News & Ideas for Nutrition Entrepreneurs
"The chapters are very well referenced and are written by experts who are both clinicians and researchers, which gives readers exceptional insight into the specific therapy being described. Each chapter includes case studies and excerpts of therapist-client dialogue that bring the therapies to life....Especially helpful are the treatment plan and protocols included as appendices to specific chapters....This text is a powerful handbook of substantiated treatment approaches." --Journal of the American Dietetic Association
"This impressive book addresses the main treatment approaches used for patients with eating disorders....this book is a crucial compendium for therapists working in the field of eating disorders, particularly those with experience of CBT. However other therapists engaged in clinical care, training, teaching and service development for these patients will find this a comprehensive reference textbook." --European Eating Disorders Review
"...a delight to see. The updating of information and reformatting is extensive and the content coverage is now more complete....The second edition retains the important elements of the first, namely that there are both critical reviews of treatment research and practical guidelines for treating clinicians....There is a balanced presentation, and a high level of integration of scientific knowledge and debate is achieved. Thus, the handbook should have a broad and varied readership, from general practitioners in remote regions, to the academic in the tertiary specialist unit. It is an enduring 'classic'." --Psychological Medicine
