Editorial Reviews

Thirteen contributions from clinicians who have practiced at the Wilkins Center for Eating Disorders address the assessment and treatment of individuals with eating disorders. Among the treatment options covered are nutritional counseling, therapeutic humor, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and individual psychotherapy. The implications of managed care for treatment are discussed in several of the papers. The first edition was published in 1994; this second edition is updated (but the specifics of the updating are not spelled out). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
