Book Information
This book clearly discusses anorexia and bulimia, as well as binge-eating disorder. Stories of young people affected by the diseases are included. The history, symptoms, treatment, prevention, and future areas of research for these most common eating disorders are included. The inclusion of the recently-identified binge eating disorder makes the book more comprehensive than most current books on eating disorders.
