Anorexia Nervosa
The theme of this text is the enduring relationship of anorexia nervosa to the unfolding of puberty, which transcends and shapes the input of "fashion". Anorexia nervosa is closely related to the personal challenges of adolescence and further growth within the individual and family. The author sees the disorder as an avoidance of the mounting fear of normal adult weight, with puberty at its pivot. His approach to all those concerned involves their engagement and empowerment in the prospect of renewed, healthier growth and recovery. It is significantly effective in both the short and the long term.
Anorexia Nervosa
This guide to 'self-help' has become highly valued by sufferers from anorexia nervosa, their families and their carers. It relates to Arthur Crisp's much praised text Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be, now in its third reprint. Many sufferers report that Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change has provided them with their first private opportunity to reconsider their position and future properly, and then to do more about them. Carers have found it particularly helpful as a joint tool in their work with patients, especially when used alongside the more recently published Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care and the Patient's Log Book from the same centre.
Anorexia Nervosa
This log book brings together the in-patient version originally designed by Prof. Arthur Crisp and Dr Kingsley Norton, and the out-patient version published by Crisp in 1993.
Anorexia Nervosa
This log book brings together the in-patient version originally designed by Professor Arthur Crisp and Dr Kingsley Norton for use by people undergoing treatment in the Anorexia Nervosa Unit at Atkinson Morley's Hosptial, and the out-patient version published by Professor Crisp in 1993. The latter has been used by those attending the out-patient treatment programme of St George's Hospital Medical School and the related Highly Specialist Services section of Pathfinder Mental Health Services NHS Trust, and in other centres in the UK. The overall treatment programme is presented in the author's Anorexia Nervosa: Let me Be, first published in 1980 and now reprinted by Psychology Press. The Patient's Log Book is intended for both in-patient and out-patient use, as part of a clinically supervised treatment programme based on the "St George's" approach outlined in Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care.
Obesity in America
Abstract: Most of the papers presented were prepared by the various conference task forces. A distinction is made between overweight and obesity; the former indicating an excess of body weight to height, the latter a surplus of fat. It is agreed that obesity is the result of a continued excessive consumption of food, but why such consumption occurs is not understood. The correlation of exercise and diet is discussed. Although skinfold thickness is considered the best measure of obesity, interpretation of the measurement is still a problem. The relationship between obesity and various body disorders needs further research. The dangers of obesity, including diseases associated with the condition, are discussed and further research is recommended. The various treatments for obesity have attendant risks which should be carefully considered. Control of obesity, which is largely the result of life style, will be most effective when people in both medical and nonmedical fields work together in a joint effort.
Women and Children in Health Care
Although women and children comprise the majority of health caregivers and patients, they often do not receive equal treatment. This book addresses that discrepancy by focusing on health care issues that particularly affect women and children. Topics considered include gender stereotypes in medicine and in adolescent socialization, fertility curtailment and enhancement, coercive treatment during pregnancy, fetal tissue transplantation, decisions regarding newborns, decision-making by minors, the feminization of poverty and its impact on women's and children's health, and the meaning and role of "family" in health care decisions. Women and Children in Health Care examines these topics, often ...

Anorexia Nervosa
We are delighted to publish this second edition of Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care, based on the first author's long-standing "St George's" Approach, which has been so well received since it was first published in 1994. The book aims to outline in a clear, practical way, the minimal intervention necessary within primary and secondary care settings if the psychopathology of this serious and life-threatening illness is first to be identified and then treated with some hope of success. This first attempt at a time-limited and basic meaningful intervention involves concurrent use by both patient and therapist (and also, to some extent, the family) of the 'self-help' book Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change and the Patient's Log Book, and all three books can be purchased as a package.
