The recent publication of the revised Diagnostic and Statistical
Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) has had a profound impact on the
classification of eating disorders, introducing changes that were
formalized after years of study by the Eating Disorders Work Group.
The Handbook of Assessment and Treatment of Eating Disorders is the
only book that provides clinicians with everything they need to
know to implement these changes in assessment, diagnosis, and
treatment. After an overview of feeding and eating disorders that
systematically reviews the changes from DSM-IV to DSM-5, some of
the foremost scholars in each area address eating disorders in
adults, children and adolescents, and special populations. Chapters
on assessment and treatment, along with accompanying videos, offer
comprehensive, state-of-the-art coverage that will benefit
clinicians in practice, such as psychiatrists and psychotherapists,
as well as mental health trainees. Clinicians will find the
following features and content especially useful: * Five full
chapters on assessment tools cover the evolution of measures and
instruments, from the primitive beginnings to the cutting edge of
new technological applications. The challenges of diagnosing
feeding and eating disorders in children and adolescents are also
addressed. * Treatment chapters cover restrictive eating, including
anorexia nervosa and avoidant/restrictive food intake disorder,
binge eating, including bulimia nervosa and binge-eating disorder,
and other eating problems, including pica, rumination disorder, and
night eating syndrome.* One chapter focuses on eating problems
among men and boys, who have diverse presentations, and the
motivations and body image disturbances that may differ from those
typically found among females.* Because attunement to culturally
and socially patterned characteristics of clinical presentation is
essential to an informed and accurate mental health assessment, an
entire chapter is devoted to clinical effectiveness in
multicultural and cross-cultural settings.* Each chapter ends with
key clinical points to help readers focus on the most salient
content, test comprehension, and review for examinations.
Clinicians in both training and practice will find the book's
up-to-date, DSM-5-compatible content to be utterly essential. The
Handbook of Assessment and Treatment of Eating Disorders belongs in
the library of every mental health professional practicing today.
