Opis

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.
