E minently practical and authoritative, this comprehensive clinical handbook brings together leading international experts on eating disorders to describe the most effective treatments and how to implement them. Coverage encompasses psychosocial, family-based, medical, and nutritional therapies for anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge-eating disorder, and other eating disorders and disturbances. Especially noteworthy are “mini-manuals” that present the nuts and bolts of 11 of the treatment approaches, complete with reproducible handouts and forms. The volume also provides an overview of assessment, treatment planning, and medical management issues. Special topics include psychiatric comorbidities, involuntary treatment, support for caregivers, childhood eating disorders, and new directions in treatment research and evaluation.
“The authors in this text are leading experts on the topic and they have contributed specific treatments and state-of-the-art treatment approaches. The 35 chapters comprehensively cover what is known about diagnoses, treating serious eating disorders, and what needs to be learned to improve diagnosis and treatment. One distinctive feature of this primarily clinical handbook is the inclusion of 'mini-manuals' describing specific treatment approaches. There are also illustrative clinical examples modeling the use of specific techniques. This well-written clinical handbook is a valuable addition to the literature on eating disorders. It covers all the basics, beginning with diagnoses, following with treatment, and lastly, addressing research needs. This book serves both as a teaching function and a reference work. It is a valuable and worthwhile contribution to the field.”

“A comprehensive guide that covers the treatment of anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder in significant depth. For each of these conditions, there is a chapter on pharmacotherapy as well as many chapters on the different types of psychotherapy for that disorder. The volume, which is authored by multiple authors, including many prominent names in the eating disorders field, is divided into five parts and contains 35 chapters. This is a great book and one that I wish had been available when I was in training. It is more comprehensive than other books on the topic that either address some but not all of these issues, or are more superficial. As a clinician rather than a researcher, I like the way in which the research is summarized so that it does not interrupt the flow for clinician readers. At the same time, each chapter includes extensive references for those who want to pursue the research in more detail. The text is comprehensive yet readable. It is well organized and is the broadest review of eating disorders that I have seen. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and other graduate-level mental health professionals would find this a valuable book.”

It offers a thought-provoking and thorough overview of the state of our knowledge in the treatment of eating disorders. Readers will find that this book discusses many issues that are crucial to their clinical practice and research.”
—Psychology of Women Quarterly
“Substantial and substantive…Drs. Grilo and Mitchell have recruited an internationally renowned group of authorities….The 35 chapters cover all aspects of treatment….Chapters describing the usual approaches of CBT, IPT, psychodynamic psychotherapy, medication management, and the like provide scholarly reviews, updates, treatment principles, and a few ‘mini-manuals.’”
—Eating Disorders Review
“This is a big book with a big task. Well-chosen authors contribute 35 chapters and over 550 pages of well-referenced text. In the world of systematic reviews and electronic literature searching, there is still an important role for a high-quality reference that offers not only data, but also perspective. This volume fills that role. It deserves to do well.”
—Bob Palmer, FRCPsych, Professor of Psychiatry, Department of Health Sciences, University of Leicester, United Kingdom
