Eating disorders (EDs) and disordered eating behaviours are
considered a major disease of the modern world, being among the
most prevailing public health problems in female adolescents and
young adults in recent decades, and reaching in many Western
countries an epidemic proportion. They occur primarily in
adolescent girls and young women, during a crucial developmental
stage, and are linked to extensive morbidity and high mortality
rates. EDs are complex, conflictual, misunderstood disturbances
that often raise negative emotions such as bewilderment, mistrust
and fear not only among lay people but also in treatment providers.
These reactions are likely the result of failing to grasp why
someone would not comply with the basic universal need of eating or
put such an emphasis on weight and appearance that renders them
more important than anything else in life. This book offers an
up-to-date summary with respect to the putative treatment options
in EDs.
