This critical summary of current literature on eating disorders aims to keep researchers and health practitioners informed on the clinical implications of new studies. It is the first volume in what's projected as an annual review that will highlight topics related to the major aspects of eating disorders. Contributors were asked to focus on developments from the last two years, linking them to earlier findings of relevance. Topics in the current volume include prevention, assessment, classification, family issues, psychosocial risk factors, psychiatric comorbidity, medical complications, and psychological trauma.

Review

"'One of the most challenging tasks for healthcare professionals in the twenty-first century is keeping up with the rapid developments in our understanding of the mechanisms of illness in our approaches to treating and preventing illness. The Academy for Eating Disorders (AED), has sought to bring together researchers and clinicians from various disciplines to educate the professional community. This book includes reviews of diverse areas of classification, comorbidity, trauma, family issues, psychobiology, prevention, and treatment of aneroxia nervosa and binge eating disorder. It is an exciting and informative book and will be an important resource, not only for eating disorder specialists, but for all healthcare professionals and individuals in the community who wish to access the latest and best information on the biology, treatment, and prevention of these devastating disorders.' Michael J Devlin President, Academy for Eating Disorders"
