Teenagers are the most vulnerable subjects for the onset of
Anorexia Nervosa (AN), in the period they start facing important
body changes as well as a new status of authonomy and independence.
AN is considered a severe health problem with mental and physical
consequences that may be life- threatening. When a teenager is
suffering from an eating disorder his/her parents are suffering
too, feeling powerless, frustrated and preoccupied. So they also
need help. The special focus of this book is on Anorexia Nervosa in
adolescence. The book is divided in three parts. A first general
part with the description of what AN is and how it may interfere
with the natural growth and development during adolescence, a
second part in which psychopathological signs and symptoms as well
as neuropsychological features of AN are presented and finally a
third part dealing with the assessment and the treatment. In this
last part different evidence-based approaches are presented and
discussed, with a particular emphasis on the model used by the
Eating Disorder Unit in Padova, Italy. This book is addressed to
therapists, healthcare workers, primary care physicians and mental
care trainees and to all those who can get in touch with people at
risk to develop or still suffering from anorexia nervosa, but, as
it is written in a very easy and direct style, it can be addressed
to patients, parents, teachers and coaches as well. It may be a
tool to improve the detection of warning signs and symptoms of AN
for early diagnosis, a tool to better understand what AN can mean
to young affected people, and it can also be a useful guide in
clinical practice.
