This groundbreaking two–volume handbook, edited by two of the leading authorities on body image and eating disorders research, provides evidence–based analysis of the causes, treatment, and prevention of eating disorders. The Wiley Handbook of Eating Disorders features the most comprehensive and up–to–date collection of eating disorders research ever assembled, including contributions from an international group of scholars from a range of disciplines, as well as coverage of DSM–5.

Boldly tackling controversies and previously unanswered questions in the field, and including suggestions for further research at the conclusion of every chapter, The Wiley Handbook of Eating Disorders will be an essential resource for students, scholars, and clinicians invested in improving the treatment and prevention of eating disorders.
