Over the past decade, there have been substantial and rapidly changing developments in the treatment of eating disorders. Grounded in the most recent literature, The Outpatient Treatment of Eating Disorders balances general and pathology-specific research to emphasize outpatient treatment. The contributors provide an overview of the full range of eating disorders and offer clinical recommendations for a comprehensive treatment plan for patients with these disorders. These distinguished contributors present case studies and hands-on treatment models based on cognitive behavioral techniques. Using three vignettes-a woman with anorexia nervosa, a woman with bulimia nervosa, and a man with binge eating disorder-the authors offer practical approaches, including extensive nutritional information for dietitians, for treating these three major forms of eating disorders. Designed for all health care workers who deal with eating disorder patients, this indispensable guide will be useful for psychiatrists, other physicians, psychologists, social workers, exercise physiologists, and dietitians as well as those who suffer from eating disorders.

Over the past fifteen years, there has been a great increase in the knowledge of eating disorders in sport and effective means of treatment. In this book, the authors draw on their extensive clinical experience to discuss how to identify, manage, treat, and prevent eating disorders in sport participants. They begin by examining the clinical conditions related to eating problems, including descriptions of specific disorders and a review of the relevant literature. Special attention is given to the specific gender and sport-related factors that can negatively influence the eating habits of athletes. The second half of the book discusses identification of participants with disordered eating by reviewing symptoms and how they manifest in sport; management issues for sport personnel, coaches, athletic trainers, and healthcare professionals; treatment; and medical considerations, such as the use of psychotropic medications. A list of useful resources is included in an appendix, as well as a glossary of important terms.

The simple format of this basic overview of eating disorders makes it easy to locate pertinent components of medical nutrition therapy care of patients with eating disorders. The purpose is to give registered dietitians a starting point to provide medical nutrition therapy for patients with eating disorders. As the author notes, no single book can deliver all the necessary information regarding eating disorders, but this pocket guide can provide a basic foundation. The book is written for registered dietitians (RDs) who will be assessing the nutritional status of patients with eating disorders. While this book is best suited for RDs, it could be a good review for other healthcare professionals who are interested in understanding the detail required to adequately assess eating disorder patients and the time needed for successful nutrition intervention. As a pocket guide, the format tends toward bullet points and text boxes of useful information and it is easy to quickly locate what you need. Half of the book focuses on nutrition assessment and the many components that the RD needs to take into consideration. The other half focuses on the various interventions, meal planning methodologies, nutrition education interventions, and nutrition counseling interventions. Many tables and text boxes convey the information. One text box presents meal and snack plans that would be appropriate for eating disorders. Another text box is devoted to guidelines for food interventions. Although the book has no color copy or photos, the intent is not to visually stimulate, but to disseminate the appropriate information in a quick and easy manner. This is an essential guide for RDs to have as a reference, while all healthcare professionals interested in understanding what medical nutrition therapy with eating disorders entails could benefit.
