B. Timothy Walsh et al. - Handbook of Assessment and Treatment of Eating Disorders

Dr. Timothy Walsh is one of the worlds leading authorities on eating disorders. This well-researched and thorough guide, which he coauthored, will not only help clinicians and researchers better understand the condition but will also enable sufferers to get the help they so desperately need and deserve.

This book, written by experts on the various aspects of eating disorders, will be particularly useful for those interested in the diagnosis and assessment of eating disorders. Too many books skip lightly over these important areas. Here you will find much substance.

Note: The authors have worked to ensure that all information in this book is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with general psychiatric and medical standards, and that information concerning drug dosages, schedules, and routes of administration is accurate at the time of publication and consistent with standards set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and the general medical community. As medical research and practice continue to advance, however, therapeutic standards may change. Moreover, specific situations may require a specific therapeutic response not included in this book. For these reasons and because human and mechanical errors sometimes occur, we recommend that readers follow the advice of physicians directly involved in their care or the care of a member of their family.
