Eating disorders: a multiprofessional approach

"This book aims to provide the reader with a wide and in-depth understanding of the conditions of anorexia and bulimia. Dorothea Hindmarch has brought together a range of perspectives across the various treatment approaches; psychiatry and medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, dietetics, psychotherapy, group analysis, family therapy, art therapy and psychodrama." "This book contains descriptions of both reality-oriented models of treatment such as occupational therapy and dietetics, and the multi-faceted approaches which reflect individual, familial, social and political aspects of these conditions. Most chapters make reference to the context in which the treatment is being provided, whether this is institutional, social or environmental."--Jacket.
