In a detailed analysis of the field of eating problems and
disorders, this book highlights the connections between the
prevention of eating problems and disorders, and theory and
research in the areas of prevention and health promotion. It also
looks at models of risk development and prevention, specific issues
and challenges, the status of current prevention research, and
lessons for prevention program development. In this unique text
Levine and Smolak draw on a range of interdisciplinary
perspectives, including prevention science, developmental
psychology, public health, and neuroscience, to provide a thorough
review, history, and critique of the topic in light of a range of
empirical studies. The only authored volume with a broad, detailed
and integrated view of theories, research, and practice, this
expanded, fully revised, and updated new edition features new
chapters on dissonance-based approaches, public health,
biopsychiatry and neuroscience, gender, culture(s), technology,
obesity, protective factors, and ecological approaches. The
Prevention of Eating Problems and Eating Disorders: Theories,
Research, and Applications is essential reading for clinicians,
academics, researchers, graduate students, upper-level
undergraduates, and activists and advocates involved in work
pertaining to eating disorders, disordered eating, prevention,
health promotion, body image, obesity and biopsychosocial
perspectives.
