About the book The term "eating disorders" is employed in this context to denote conditions wherein alterations in body size and manipulation of food intake are utilized to address or conceal inner and outer adjustment challenges. Clinically, these disturbances manifest as obesity, characterized by an excess accumulation of fat tissue. Psychologically, obesity is marked by a sense of helpless ineffectiveness in the face of bodily urges and societal demands. On the other end of the spectrum is anorexia nervosa, characterized by extreme leanness and cachexia. This condition reflects an overly rigid attempt to establish a sense of control and identity while grappling with a pervasive sense of ineffectiveness. This book covers all important aspects treating eating disorders in adolescents and children.
