This book uniquely combines cutting-edge medical, psychological,
and sociocultural topics pertinent to eating disorders. In the
medical realm, the book focuses on Eating Disorders' newly
investigated associations with ADHD and sleep disorders, and on
innovative treatments of osteoporosis in anorexia nervosa. Novel
contributions in the psychological realm address families'
trans-generational transmission of Eating Disorders-related
difficulties and novel internet-based treatments for such families.
Lastly, in the sociocultural realm, the book discusses social
contagion and Pro-Ana websites as increasing risk for disordered
eating in young women around the globe. This volume provides
readers with more holistic perspectives of each realm and their
interplay, to promote Eating Disorders' understanding, treatment,
prevention, and research. It provides various professionals
including mental health providers, physicians, nutritionists, and
graduate students in these professions.

Over the last few decades, researchers and clinicians throughout
the world have examined and learned increasingly more about sleep
patterns and disorders in adolescents. Likewise, behavioral
scientists, mental health clinicians and individuals themselves
have struggled to understand eating disorders and disordered eating
over this complex developmental period. This book brings together
the latest research and clinical pearls regarding the
interconnections between adolescents' changing sleep and eating
patterns and where such patterns regress into disruptive and
disordered behaviors, sometimes intersecting in ways that were
previously ignored or understudied.
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.
Eating disorders (EDs) are considered a major disease in the modern
world, being one of the most prevailing public health problems
among female adolescents and young adults in recent decades, and
reaching epidemic proportions in many Western countries. The last
two decades have envisioned an abundance of research in many
aspects related to EDs. Nevertheless, EDs are still highly
misunderstood disorders that often raise a host of negative
emotions such as bewilderment, mistrust and fear. This book reviews
research on the diagnosis and classification of EDs, as well as the
historical and socio-cultural aspects and the genetics, biology and
psychological considerations involved.
