Ein klinisches Handbuch

Eating disorders in childhood and adolescence are becoming increasingly important. Anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa typically start in childhood and adolescence, and in some areas their prevalence is increasing. Binge-eating disorder, pica and rumination disorder, and disorder with avoidance and/or restriction of food intake have now been included in the ICD-11 and DSM-5 classification systems for the first time. This volume presents major new findings on the aetiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of these conditions in accordance with the evidence-based guidelines in Germany and against the background of the current state of international research. It provides assistance in the treatment of these disorders & which often tend to become chronic & not only for all those working in hospitals and private practice, but also for the patients= parents and guardians. Both of the book=s editors have many years of experience in treating eating disorders and conducting research on them.
