Keeping track of the latest developments in the research on eating disorders is a major challenge for all of us. The abundant information that is now available via journals, online reference web sites, university databases, and individualized e-alerts can be so overwhelming that it is difficult to see the forest trough the trees. Integrating results from various sources and translating these findings into day-to-day clinical practice is not easily done. The Annual Review truly is the best way to stay up to date!’ The recent research contributions to the field described in this book are ample evidence of the rapid progress being made toward understanding the causes, complications, course, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders. As the amount of this work continues to increase (and the forums in which it is published continue to broaden), the task of keeping up to date on this growing literature becomes all the more difficult.” Eric F van Furth, President, American Academy of Eating Disorders, in the Foreword For psychologists, psychiatrists, doctors, dietitians, social workers, nurses, and counselors. |
