| DESCRIPTION: This volume comprehensively
addresses the treatments of eating disorders from the perspective of 9
experts - each representing a specific treatment modality. The authors
are outstanding clinicians in the field of eating disorders with well articulated
theoretical stances. They have been practicing and refining their treatment
approaches over many years. The opening chapters summarise the latest treatment
outcomes and introduce the case of Kristen, a 26-year-old woman, who suffers
from anorexia nervosa. Subsequent chapters discuss the assessment and treatment
plans from the perspective of: Psychoanalysis, Cognitive-behavioural Therapy,
Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Developmental Systemic Feminist Therapy, Self-
Psychology Therapy; the Adlerian Approach, Family Therapy, Integrative
Cognitive Therapy and Cognitive Analytic Therapy. The appendix contains
a useful table which succinctly summarises the tenets of all these major
approaches.
