From practical experience and for practical application, the authors describe the medical and therapeutic aspects of various eating disturbances (anorexia, bulimia, obesity, atypical eating disturbances, binge eating, etc.), as well as the psychological conditions that may accompany them. This is supplemented with experience and suggestions drawn from therapeutic work — e.g., on the topic of attentiveness. Information and useful addresses for those affected, as well as a presentation of various forms of therapy and treatment options, round off this volume that is equally valuable for therapists, patients, and relatives.
