Description

This book considers the risk, diagnosis, treatment, and outcome of eating disorders in children and adolescents from a developmental perspective. Physical, emotional, and psychosocial factors contribute to which type of eating disorder develops, what type of intervention is likely effective, and the prognosis for recovery. The book includes a discussion of genetic and cognitive neuro-scientific aspects of these disorders.
