Pocket Guide for the Assessment and Treatment of Eating Disorders is a practical guide designed to help the busy clinician quickly find the most relevant and up-to-date information about how to evaluate, diagnose, and treat people with eating disorders. Written by experts in Stanford Universitys Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, the contributors have extensive experience treating and conducting research in the field of eating disorders. Although the book was written with the nonspecialist in mind, it is also useful for those who regularly treat eating disorders but who want a pocket reference and guide. Students in colleges, graduate programs, and postgraduate programs will also find this book an excellent primer on the presentation, epidemiology, risk factors, and major treatment approaches for eating disorders across the age spectrum.
