The number of eating disorders patients presenting with symptoms of
self-harm is growing quickly, and yet there is surprisingly little
known about this unique population. Self-Harm Behavior and Eating
Disorders explores the prevalent but largely uncharted relationship
between self-injury behaviors and eating disorders symptoms. In the
first major book to focus on this area, a renowned group of
international scholars and practitioners addresses the subject from
a variety of theoretical and practical perspectives. The book is
categorized into sections covering epidemiology, psychodynamics,
assessment, and a final section covering potential treatment
options, including dialectical behavioral therapy, cognitive
therapy, interventions strategies, group therapy, and
pharmacological approaches. This unrivaled collection of case
studies, theoretical exploration, and practical application forms a
benchmark for the field, and offers a stepping-stone for new
research and innovative treatment strategies. In an area with
little available information, previously spread out among diffuse
sources, this volume represents the state-of-the-field resource for
anyone working with complex eating disorders patients.
