Eating disorders (EDs) affect at least 11 million people in the
United States each year and spread across age, race, ethnicity and
socio-economic class. While professional literature on the subject
has grown a great deal in the past 30 years, it tends to be
exclusively research-based and lacking expert clinical commentary
on treatment. This volume focuses on just such commentary, with
chapters authored by both expert clinicians and researchers. Core
issues such as assessment and diagnosis, the correlation between
EDs and weight and nutrition, and medical/psychiatric management
are discussed, as are the underrepresented issues of treatment
differences based on gender and culture, the applications of
neuroscience, EDNOS, comorbid psychiatric disorders and the impact
of psychiatric medications. This volume uniquely bridges the gap
between theoretical findings and actual practice, borrowing a
bench-to-bedside approach from medical research.
This workbook teaches how to heal emotional wounds without burying
them in food and weight obsessions. Get comfortable with the seven
most difficult feelings: guilt, shame, helplessness, anxiety,
disappointment, confusion and loneliness. A strong and healthy
person will emerge with this soul-healing workbook, enhancing your
eating and your life. An extraordinary, powerful connection exists
between feeling and feeding that, if damaged, may lead to one
relying on food for emotional support, rather than seeking
authentic happiness. This unique workbook takes on the seven
emotions that plague problem eaters - guilt, shame, helplessness,
anxiety, disappointment, confusion, and loneliness - and shows
readers how to embrace and learn from their feelings. Written with
honesty and humor, the book explains how to identify and label a
specific emotion, the function of that emotion, and why the emotion
drives food and eating problems. Each chapter has two sets of
exercises: experiential exercises that relate to emotions and
eating, and questionnaires that provoke thinking about and
understanding feelings and their purpose. Supplemental pages help
readers identify emotions and chart emotional development. The
final part of the workbook focuses on strategies for disconnecting
feeling from food, discovering emotional triggers, and
Eating disorders affect 1.25 million people in the UK, and the
incidence is rising. The DSM-5 specifies diagnostic criteria for
eight types of eating disorder, with anorexia nervosa, bulimia
nervosa, and binge eating disorder accounting for the majority of
cases. This new addition to the Oxford Specialist Handbook of
Psychiatry series covers the aetiology, epidemiology, risk factors,
and diagnostic criteria for all forms of eating disorders,
alongside patient management within the community and inpatient
settings. Also featuring chapters on emerging eating disorders,
such as orthorexia and muscle dysmorphia, medicolegal issues
surrounding involuntary hospitalisation and nasogastric feeding,
and acute emergency care, this Handbook is a comprehensive yet
succinct addition to the literature for all doctors, nurses, and
members of the multidisciplinary team in managing the complex and
multifactorial conditions that arise in patients with eating
disorders. Each chapter is accompanied by case stories drawn from
real-life examples, taking the reader through from initial
presentation to treatment, and the key need-to-know facts and
current evidence-based treatments. The Oxford Specialist Handbook
of Eating Disorders is a new go-to resource for the crucial
information around this multifaceted area of medicine.

Winner of the 2015 Red Hen Press Nonfiction Award, Circadian is a
collection of essays that weaves together personal account with
cultural narrative, only to unravel them and explore the brilliant
and destructive cycles of who we are. Using poetic language and
lyric structures, Clammer dives into her stories of trauma, mental
illnesses, and a wide spectrum of relationships in order to
understand experience through different of frameworks of thought.
Whether it's turning to mathematics to try to solve the problem of
an alcoholic father, the history of naming to look at sexism,
weather to re-consider trauma, or even grammar as a way to question
identity, these "facts" move beyond metaphor, and become new ways
to narrate our cyclical ways of being.
