Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders provides sound therapeutic advice based on current research and clinical practice. It includes detailed discussions of various aspects of assessment and treatment, featuring up-to-date evidence- and consensus-based information. Ranging from the determination of initial treatment approaches to problems posed by unique groups of patients, it marks the first APPI volume specifically directed toward the clinical management of patients with eating disorders -- and the first book to focus squarely on what psychiatrists need to know about the clinical assessment and management of patients with anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorders, and obesity...
Healthy exercise means finding a balance between overtraining and inactivity. This informative book offers concrete recommendations for creating a moderate, individualized exercise plan, while discussing both ends of the spectrum-from compulsive exercisers who push their bodies to the extreme, to sedentary people who are ready to become more active.
Abstract: Current information on the etiology, effects, treatment and prevention of obesity provides a comprehensive source of information for practicing physicians. Emphasis is placed on the multicausal nature of obesity and the necessity of understanding this to increase effectiveness of treatment. Obesity is first defined and classified; there follows a discussion of its epidemiology and pathogenesis from early feeding patterns to crucial life events. The uncommon causes of obesity are identified, including metabolic and endocrinological abnormalities; related eating disorders, such as anorexia nervosa, are also discussed. The review of experimental data and psychodynamic theories of obesity provdes factual and evaluative information on the anatomical, psychiatric, and sociocultural aspects of obesity. It is recommended that selection of treatment procedures (diet and exercise, drugs and surgery, psychological treatment, or any combination thereof) be based on individual evaluation and collaborative efforts of a health care team.
This comprehensive resource provides multiple prevention strategies, programs, and approaches for health and mental health workers, educators, researchers, students, and interested members of the community at large who work to prevent eating disorders and related problems.

This new work, by the author of The Problem of the Pastoral Epistles, consists of new material on that subject as well as amendments and corrections.

Updated to reflect recent DSM categorizations, this edition includes coverage of binge-eating disorder and examines pharmacological as well as psychotherapeutic approaches to treating eating disorders.
Eating disorders, addictions, and substance use disorders are each challenging in their own right, but they also commonly co-occur, causing major challenges for clinicians. This book presents cutting-edge research on the overlap of these complex disorders and reviews integrative assessment strategies and treatment approaches, including enhanced cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, abstinence approaches, motivational enhancement, mindfulness meditation, and pharmacotherapy. The issue of whether eating-disordered behaviors such as dieting, binge eating, and excessive exercise are merely other forms of addictive behavior is examined. The authors argue both for and against the concept of food addiction in research, clinical treatment, and public policy. The book will be of interest to psychiatrists, addiction medicine physicians, mental health/substance abuse clinicians, dieticians, researchers, and those affected by the disorders.
