Description
Eating disorders are linked to the developmental process in this up-to-date reference work for pediatricians, family practitioners, gerontologists, internists, psychologists, and psychiatrists. The broad range of topics by expert contributors gives the reader a comprehensive survey of both the medical and behavioral dimensions of eating disorders throughout the life cycle. The clinical data is richly amplified with case studies and the volume includes a bibliography and a list of suggested readings selected by the editors.
