The book edited by these authors in 1985 on the treatment of eating
disorders was the standard at that time. This new volume, which has
contributions by the leading authorities in each field, is a worthy
successor. It is an important new reference and is likely to be the
new standard for the field of eating disorders. --Walter H. Kaye,

Written by an internationally renowned group of experts, this
state-of-the-art compendium is an essential companion for
clinicians working with eating disorders. --David B. Herzog, MD,

The Handbook of Treatments for Eating Disorders is a stunning
achievement. The editors have assembled a group of the world's
leading authorities to provide us with a volume that simultaneously
presents the broadest range of contemporary biological,
psychological, and social perspectives for understanding and
dealing with these complex disorders, and with the depth and
sophistication that each subject deserves. Novices and experienced
practitioners alike will find a great deal to value and re-read. In
these pages you will find considerable scholarship, wisdom and
experience, and a great deal of down-to-earth practical advice and
information on assessment and treatment. Several of the chapters
are virtual treatment manuals, offering detailed, step-by-step
guidance for practitioners.
All mental health professionals will be well served by studying
these chapters. Not only will this information provide substantial
benefits in helping patients with eating disorders, but readers can
expect that the positive carryover of these lessons to almost all
other areas of clinical concern will be enormous. --Joel Yager, MD,
Professor and Vice Chair for Education, University of New Mexico

Institute; President-Elect, Academy for Eating Disorders;
Editor-in-Chief, Eating Disorders Review
...remarkable....this handbook is particularly valuable for
professionals wanting state-of-the-art information as well as for
newcomers needing authoritative overviews. The 30 chapters are all
well grounded in research and written primarily by clinicians on
the cutting edge of the treatment research literature. ...Superb
chapter references. 'Must reading' for professionals and general
health care practitioners. --R. Kabatznick, Choice
- The chapters are very well referenced and are written by experts
who are both clinicians and researchers, which gives readers
exceptional insight into the specific therapy being described. Each
chapter includes case studies and excerpts of therapist-client
dialogue that bring the therapies to life....Especially helpful are
the treatment plan and protocols included as appendixes[sic] to
specific chapters....This text is a powerful handbook of
substantiated treatment approaches. --Journal of the American
Dietetic Association, 4/20/1997
