The Eating Disorders comprehensively addresses the three categories of eating disorders - anorexia, bulimia, and obesity, presenting both the medical and psychiatric etiologies. In addition to general medical management, the authors have dealt with ancillary treatment approaches from a dietary and occupational therapeutic perspective. The use of the clinical laboratory and neurological examination as an adjunct to medical and pediatric treatment is explored. Special groups such as the male, the addict, and the geriatric patient receive special attention. The internationally acclaimed B.A.S.H. approach is also reviewed here. For the physician manager, there is also a chapter describing the initiation and administration of an eating disorders unit. The Eating Disorders is both an invaluable introductory clinical text for the treatment of eating disorders as well as a hands-on reference guide for the clinical practitioner.
