2nd Edition
Eating Disorders in Women and Children Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment, Second Edition
Our understanding of eating disorders has improved markedly over the past 10 years since the publication of the previous edition of this volume. Early intervention is the key, as body dissatisfaction, obsession with thinness, and restrained and binge eating can be found in those as young as ten. Exploring prevention methods and therapeutic options, the second edition of Eating Disorders in Women and Children: Prevention, Stress Management, and Treatment is updated with new research on these devastating maladies.
Highlights in the second edition include:
- An emphasis on the physiology of eating disorders and genetic factors related to anorexia and bulimia
- Theories on prevention and the identification of at-risk individuals
- The latest information on therapeutic modalities, including cognitive behavioral, interpersonal, constructionist, and narrative approaches as well as pharmaceutical management
- Nutritional evaluation and treatment
- Specific exercise recommendations for women and children with eating disorders

In addition, it explores critical measures that can be taken to help the larger population understand and work to prevent eating disorders in their communities.
