Despite the overwhelming evidence supporting a multifaceted
relationship between personality disorders and eating disorders,
few attempts have been made to explore the interface between these
two areas in a cogent synthesis with prevalence, etiology, and
treatment approach with respect to both conditions. Sansone &
Levitt propose to explore and define this relationship, with a
single-volume of contributions on the intersection between the two
fields. This work includes chapter contributions from authors both
in the eating-disorder field and personality-disorder field, with a
clinical focus, in a readable format.
Divided into seven sections, the work begins with conceptualization
of personality disorders, and then moves into an exploration of
epidemiology and of etiology. The fourth section focuses on
assessment in both fields, and the fifth section provides an
overview of specific personality disorders. The sixth section
discusses treatment approaches, and the volume closes with the
prognostic implications of comorbid personality disorders in eating
disorders. Topics include such topical issues as genetics, drug
abuse, and childhood trauma, as they relate to both fields and as
they affect the relationship between the two forms of
disorders.
This volume provides stronger assessment and treatment of
individuals suffering from personality disorders and eating
disorders and enhances the understanding of both fields while
establishing a foundation for discussing each as they interface
with one another.
