Riassunto

Filling a gap in the literature, this volume synthesizes what is known about binge eating and its treatment. Representing a collaboration of experts from various fields, the book describes the history of binge eating and examines the controversies surrounding its definition and classification. Chapters consider binge eating from the perspectives of bulimia nervosa, anorexia nervosa, obesity, and addictive disorders. Methods for assessment are examined, and the efficacy of drug treatment, short-term psychological treatment, and psychodynamic psychotherapy are evaluated. This volume is one of the first to propose "binge eating disorder" as a category in DSM-IV. Two practical manuals show how to conduct a standardized interview for assessing eating disorders and how to provide cognitive-behavioral treatment to those who binge eat. This book will be of interest to psychologists, psychiatrists, dieticians, and others concerned with eating disorders and their treatment.
