Do certain eating disorders directly correlate with neglect and
abuse? What do eating and growth disorders have in common? And, are
some treatment methods more successful than others in treating such
disorders? In Eating and Growth Disorders in Infants and Children
Woolston examines the relevant literature on each major eating and
growth disorder from infancy through childhood. Among the disorders
considered are failure to thrive, psychosocial dwarfism,
rumination, pica, obesity, and anorexia nervosa. The author
describes the emergence and course of each specific disorder,
discusses known or suspected risk factors, and alerts the reader to
unresolved clinical and research issues. Woolston also stresses the
advantages of using a multidisciplinary team approach --including a
pediatrician, a nurse, a developmental psychologist, a social
worker, and a nutritionist--and points out that all aspects and
levels of risk should be considered. Comprehensive, yet concise,
this book presents an excellent overview of the various aspects of
each disorder. It is an indispensable volume for professionals and
students in developmental psychology, clinical psychology,
psychiatry, social work, and nursing.
