Treating patients with eating disorders (ED) is a notoriously
challenging undertaking. Patients tend to be medically compromised
and have a deep ambivalence towards their symptoms, and treatment
dropout and relapse rates are high. Further complicating matters, a
sizable number of patients present with additional characteristics
that set them apart from the patients for whom empirically
supported treatments were developed. Up to 50% of current ED
diagnoses are classified as atypical and do not fit into existing
diagnostic categories, and many more present with complex
comorbidities. Clinical Handbook of Complex and Atypical Eating
Disorders brings together into one comprehensive resource what is
known about an array of complicating factors for patients with ED,
serving as an accessible introduction to each of the comorbidities
and symptom presentations highlighted in the volume. The first
section of the book focuses on the treatment of ED in the presence
of various comorbidities, and the second section explores the
treatment of ED with atypical symptom presentations. The third
section focuses on how to adapt ED treatments for diverse
populations typically neglected in controlled treatment trials:
LGBT, pediatric, male, ethnically diverse, and older adult
populations. Each chapter includes a review of clinical
presentation, prevalence, treatment approaches, resources,
conclusions, and future directions. Cutting edge and practical,
Clinical Handbook of Complex and Atypical Eating Disorders will
appeal to researchers and health professionals involved in treating
ED.
