p. cm.
Summary: “Eating disorders typically first appear during childhood and adolescence. Despite
this early age of onset, edited volumes on eating disorders have not focused on this age cohort.
One of the primary purposes of this book is to redress this imbalance and target the unique issues
that pertain to the development, assessment, and treatment of eating disorders in children and
adolescents, a period of heightened vulnerability to these disorders and to the potential damage
they can cause.”—Provided by publisher.
