Description
Patients with eating disorders present a challenging and complicated combination of problems. In fact, the existence of one or more comorbid psychiatric conditions along with an eating disorder diagnosis is usually the rule rather than the exception.
In Special Problems in Managing Eating Disorders a group of experienced clinicians and researchers examine troublesome and challenging problems associated with eating disorders, focusing on the frequent complicating conditions and comorbid states that often accompany eating disorders.
Illustrated with case vignettes, this volume describes the presentations and treatment strategies for the most common and difficult to manage complications of eating disorders, including
• concurrent mood syndromes
• chemical dependency
• personality disorders
• laxative abuse
• medical complications
• diabetes
• pregnancy
• treatment resistance
