Current Findings on Males With Eating Disorders

The subgroup of males with eating disorders has been understudied, and this book presents the most comprehensive look at this topic since Arnold Andersen edited the text Males with Eating Disorders in 1990. This monograph represents both original research and reviews of other studies based on a special issue of Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention, with additional added chapters. Representing international contributions from researchers and clinicians in nine countries, this cross-section includes chapters on etiology, sociocultural and gender issues, symptom presentation, assessment, medical and psychological concerns, treatment, recovery, and prevention.

Leigh Cohn, MAT, CEDS, is the founding editor-in-chief of Eating Disorders: The Journal of Treatment and Prevention and coauthor of several books, including Making Weight, which is on males and eating disorders.

Raymond Lemberg, PhD, completed his PhD studies in clinical psychology from the University of Maryland in 1977. From 1972 to the present day, Dr. Lemberg has participated in various consulting, teaching, psychotherapy, and clinical administration positions.
