Unique to this book is a reference section that includes an updated state-by-state directory of over 200 eating disorder treatment facilities, an extensive bibliography of books, periodicals, videos, and Internet sites, and a list of organizations.
This slim volume is worth its weight in gold. Composed of dozens of short yet complete articles by a variety of well-known experts, Eating Disorders is simple enough for a college student yet helpful and illuminating even for seasoned professionals who have treated the problem for years. It is brilliantly organized . . . refreshingly clear of the confusing and obnoxious jargon so common in research writing. . . .
