The ABC of Eating Disorders is a comprehensive primer for
GPs, dieticians, psychiatrists and community health teams who need
to incorporate a sophisticated awareness of this field into their
professional practice. It spans, and differentiates, eating and
feeding disorders from diagnosis to their management and treatment.
With a focus on primary care, this ABC touches on the
medico-legal aspects and ethical issues of treating eating
disorders and specialist referral.
This new title in the successful ABC series describes
working with families, children and other specialist populations,
such as the elderly, men and minority groups. It helps primary care
practitioners recognise eating disorders in people presenting with
other problems, while the section on comorbidity discusses the
treatment of eating disorders existing with other conditions.
The ABC of Eating Disorders is accessible – sufferers
will find it provides a useful background to self help materials,
and their lay carers will be able to appreciate its intelligent and
compassionate approach.
