Eating Disorders

Be guided by the Evidence?Anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are all associated with significant emotional and relational stress. They can have serious physical complications. Most cases of anorexia and bulimia nervosa remain undiagnosed, and many diagnosed cases are inappropriately treated. It is therefore essential to reduce the gap between research evidence and clinical experience in order to improve diagnosis and treatment of these mental disorders.This volume provides:

• Coverage of all aspects of eating disorders, including diagnosis, epidemiology and pharmacological treatment
• Contributions from internationally acclaimed experts
• An unbiased and reliable reference point

This sixth volume in the WPA Series Evidence and Experience in Psychiatry is of relevance to all psychiatrists, psychologists, mental health nurses and policy makers.
