Avoidant Restrictive Food Intake Disorder, more commonly known as
ARFID, is a relatively newly introduced diagnostic category.
Research in the field, although growing, remains limited, with
clinical knowledge and expertise varying across clinicians. There
may be uncertainty how to correctly identify and diagnose the
disorder as well as how best to direct treatment. This clinical
guide sets out to be a trailblazer in the field, providing
up-to-date information and comprehensive clinical guidance on ARFID
in childhood and adolescence. Chapters in the book are divided into
five sections, the first focussing on the importance of attending
to the perspectives of those directly affected by ARFID. Three
subsequent sections cover diagnosis and presentation, including
chapters on aetiology, epidemiology, assessment, and outcome
measures; clinical assessment, including psychological, family,
nutritional, medical, and sensory components; and management,
discussing nutritional, medical, psychological, and wider system
approaches. The final section discusses prognosis and outcomes, and
considers future research directions. This clinically focussed
book, with contributions from a multi-disciplinary authorship, is
intended to function as an accessible, practical guide, and
reference resource. It includes summaries of available evidence,
with related recommendations for clinical practice. The advice and
suggestions included will assist clinicians in targeting their
attention appropriately, to ensure that children, adolescents, and
their families receive the best possible care.
