Critics Review
The purpose of Clinical Manual of Eating Disorders is to provide a resource “to help clinicians better understand how to care for patients and families seeking help” (p.xix). This goal is masterfully achieved and exceeded at times. Well-organized and thorough discussions extend past the guidelines for the general management of anorexia nervosa and bulimia. This book is a shining contribution to the professional literature.
Give the severity of these conditions, and clinicians’ relative discomfort with treating and managing these challenging patients, this book provides valuable knowledge and insight in a well written and readable format.
This collection of 16 chapters by 26 authors explores the far reaches of what was once a narrowly defined diagnostic category. All in all, this volume offers the student and clinician and comprehensive overview of the field.
