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.
