| Summary |
Abstract: A reference text for researchers and health care professionals dealing with anorexic or bulimic behavior patterns in females provides 17 technical reviews by experts in their respective fields. Fifteen of the reviews are grouped among 3 principal topical perspectives, viz.: biomedical (medical complications and nutritional aspects of anorexia/bulimia, and neuroendocrine aspects and biological treatments of eating disorders); sociocultural (sociocultural aspects of anorexia, bulimia, and bulimarexia, including a feminist perspective); and psychological (therapeutic psychodynamic approaches and interventions, outcome considerations, and therapeutic dilemmas). The 2 remaining reviews discuss the question of recovery by anorexics and bulimics, and future research trends |
