Treatment of Eating Disorders, 1st Edition

美国每年至少有1100万的人受到摄食障碍（ED）的困扰，其在各年龄段、人种、种族和社会经济阶层都有发生。尽管有关ED的专业文献在过去30年中有大量增长，但其仍旧缺乏专业的研究基础，而专业医师临床对其治疗的述评也乏善可陈。本书即聚焦于这一类的述评，每章的作者都是专业临床医师与研究人员。本书讨论了ED评估与诊断的核心议题（即ED与体重、营养的关系）以及医学/精神管理，还探讨了基于性别与文化的治疗差异、神经科学的应用、非典型性摄食障碍（EDNOS）、合并精神障碍以及精神药物的影响等未被充分重视的议题。根据从医学研究中借用的“基础到临床”的方法，本书为理论研究成果与实际操作间的鸿沟搭建了独特的桥梁。

Eating disorders (EDs) affect at least 11 million people in the United States each year and spread across age, race, ethnicity and socio-economic class. While professional literature on the subject has grown a great deal in the past 30 years, it tends to be exclusively research-based and lacking expert clinical commentary on treatment. This volume focuses on just such commentary, with chapters authored by both expert clinicians and researchers. Core issues such as assessment and diagnosis, the correlation between EDs and weight and nutrition, and medical/psychiatric management are discussed, as are the underrepresented issues of treatment differences based on gender and culture, the applications of neuroscience, EDNOS, comorbid psychiatric disorders and the impact of psychiatric medications. This volume uniquely bridges the gap between theoretical findings and actual practice, borrowing a bench-to-bedside approach from medical research.
