This title contains foreword by Eric Van Furth, President, American Academy of Eating Disorders. This guide draws together the latest developments in eating disorders. Together with its companion volume "Annual Review of Eating Disorders Part 2", this resource covers the twenty key topics including binge eating, trauma, self-help, assessment and negative body image. It is a compilation of reviews from leading scientists and clinicians, and is the essential update for busy professionals and health researchers, with a clear emphasis on clinical implications. It also provides invaluable information for psychologists, psychiatrists, dieticians, family doctors, pediatricians, counsellors and educators. ''Very important. Successful. Well respected. Comprehensive. Appropriate for all clinicians, researchers, and trainees who work in the area of eating disorders. A great reference for those needing direction on the current available treatments.'' - Shiela M Dowd, PhD, Rush University Medical Center, Illinois, USA. ''Presents information in manageable chunks which are easy to digest. Research is clearly linked to clinical practice. Easy to read. Helpful. Comprehensive. A valuable resource for new as well as experienced clinicians.'' - Primary Care and Community Psychiatry. "Last year''s Review was very well received, by researchers and clinicians alike, and I am confident that the same will be true this year. Keeping track of the latest developments in the research on eating disorders is a major challenge for all of us. The abundant information that is now available via journals, online reference web sites, university databases, and individualized e-alerts can be so overwhelming that it is difficult to see the forest trough the trees. Integrating results from various sources and translating these findings into day-to-day clinical practice is not easily done. The "Annual Review" truly is the best way to stay up to date!" - Eric F van Furth, in the Foreword.

This Handbook covers all eating disorders in every part of the world. Eating disorders in Western countries are described but also in different parts of Asia, Africa, the Middle East, amongst indigenous peoples, and peoples of cultural and linguistic diversity, Latin America and Eastern Europe and we will describe the impact of pandemics.The sections are organised with an introduction followed by definitions and classifications, then epidemiology, then psychosocial aetiology, clinical features, neurobiology, family peers and carers, and finally conclusions. The latest DSM and ICD classifications are covered and eating disorders not yet classified. The authors cover the clinical features of eating disorders complicating diabetes type 1, the neurobiology of eating disorders including immunology, neurotransmitters and appetite. The treatment section will include emergency treatment, evidence-based psychological approaches, intensive interventions and emerging areas, and the family section will include voluntary bodies, family and carers and pregnant mothers with eating disorders. Outcome covers prognosis in all the major eating disorders and describe the severe and enduring type of eating disorder.The work is the primary source of information about eating disorders for students, doctors, psychologists and other professionals. The fact that it is regularly updated makes it second only to primary sources such as journals for retrieving information on the subject. In contrast to journals the manual will provide accessibility unavailable elsewhere.
