Relevant topics in Eating Disorders
Eating disorders are common, frequently severe, and often devastating pathologies. Biological, psychological, and social factors are usually involved in these disorders in both the aetiopathogeny and the course of disease. The interaction among these factors might better explain the problem of the development of each particular eating disorder, its specific expression, and the course and outcome. This book includes different studies about the core concepts of eating disorders, from general topics to some different modalities of treatment. Epidemiology, the key variables in the development of eating disorders, the role of some psychosocial factors, as well as the role of some biological influences, some clinical and therapeutic issues from both psychosocial and biological points of view, and the nutritional evaluation and nutritional treatment, are clearly presented by the authors of the corresponding chapters. Professionals such as psychologists, nurses, doctors, and nutritionists, among others, may be interested in this book.
Mediación e intervención de la psicología en situaciones actuales de vulnerabilidad
Hoy en día, la dinámica social y otros factores, según se advierte en estas páginas, coloca a ciertos individuos en estado endeble, por lo que se vuelve urgente que el profesional de la Psicología posea elementos sólidos para poder mediar e intervenir en fenómenos como las violencias, estrés, ansiedad, depresión, migración, deserción y bajo rendimiento escolar, situaciones que ponen en riesgo la salud mental y el bienestar social. Otra virtud de este texto es que, como sucede en la universidad, aglutina no solamente diversos campos de aplicación de la Psicología, como son la educación, el área organizacional, el campo clínico (como la psicoterapia) y de la salud, sino también distintos enfoques y posturas teóricas de la misma. A eso se suman las experiencias personales y profesionales de psicólogos(as) de distintas latitudes, siendo este factor un elemento de plusvalía para el conjunto de la obra.
Eating and Weight Disorders
Eating disorders refer to a range of problems characterized by abnormal eating behaviours and beliefs about eating, weight, and shape. Eating disorders, which are classified as psychiatric problems, and obesity, which is classified as a general medical condition, reflect a diverse and perplexing array of biological, social, and psychological phenomena. Beginning with a comprehensive overview of eating and weight disorders, this volume also covers: anorexia nervosa bulimia nervosa atypical eating disorders and binge eating disorders obesity. Including the most up-to-date research, Carlos Grilo provides a balanced and authoritative overview of current thinking in the fields of eating disorders and obesity with broad yet in-depth coverage of the areas. This highly readable book is an indispensable resource to students and professionals in clinical psychology, health psychology, and psychiatry.
Body Image
Body Image: Understanding Body Dissatisfaction in Men, Women and Children presents a review of what is presently known and the results of some new research on body image. It compares the effects of gender, sexuality, social class, age and ethnicity on satisfaction with the way we look and suggests how these differences arise. Why, for instance, are heterosexual men much happier with their body images than women or gay men? Sarah Grogan discusses the effect of media presentation of the ideal body and other cultural influences. Surprisingly, despite the almost exclusive media preference for very young female bodies, she finds that older women are not less satisfied with their bodies than younger women. Written for readers from a variety of disciplines, this clear and eclectic book will make the ideal text for students from psychology, sociology, gender and media studies.

The Binge-purge Syndrome
A neurological-psychopharmacological theory of bulimia is considered. A chapter on guidelines for behavioral assessment and treatment of bulimiarexia introduces a structured interview device, the "personal Data Questionnaire", which allows a functional analysis of an individual's bing-purge habits and provides a link to specific intervention procedures. A series of chapters describes recent research studies and theories that have sought to corroborate the clinical description of bulimia, develop reliable measurement instruments, estimate the prevalence of the binge eating syndrome in various populations, and test the validity of the preliminary theories of the etiology and treatment of bulimia. Selected sections of the manual are designed to appeal to research investigations, practicing clinicians, and the lay public. A comprehensive subject index is included. (aje).
