This ambitious book is a well conceived and wonderfully comprehensive integration of current topics in developmental psychology and eating disorders. The editors have created a uniquely thorough text which brings together the perspectives of many disciplines on why eating disorders emerge in adolescence, and offers illuminating perspectives on a wide range of issues that surround eating disorders, including etiology, culture, genetics, risk, and media prevention.

Clinicians and researchers of a theoretical persuasion need to study this excellent volume of articles.
