Description
Eating disorders, including anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder, and eating disorders not otherwise specified, have
proven to be extremely serious conditions. Anorexia has the highest mortality rate of any psychiatric diagnosis, and every eating disorder
involves a host of psychological and physical problems with untold economic costs and associated emotional suffering. As a result of
efforts to better understand and treat eating disorders, the professional literature on the subject has grown a great deal in the past
30 years.
Despite the growth of the literature related to eating disorders, expert clinical commentary on eating disorders treatment
is desperately needed. In April, 2006 the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality of the United States Department of Health and Human
Services completed a comprehensive report on the effectiveness of eating disorders treatment (?Management of Eating Disorders?, AHRQ
Publication 06-E010, Rockville MD). Based on research published in all languages between 1980 and 2005, the report states that therapeutic
findings are ?sparse and inconclusive.? In addition, the report notes that the literature on treatment for all eating disorders is ?of
highly variable quality,? and that ?future studies should address novel treatments for the disorder, optimal duration of intervention,
and optimal approaches for those who do not respond to medication or cognitive-behavioral therapy.? Furthermore, ?greater attention must
be paid to factors influencing outcomes, harms associated with treatment, and differential efficacy by sex, gender, age, race, ethnicity
or cultural group.?
The proposed book, Special Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Gaps, will overcome the concerns
expressed in the AHRQ report by addressing issues ignored by research to date and elucidating the complicated clinical issues that patients
present, such as subclinical eating disorders (EDNOS) and comorbid conditions. Special Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders will
uniquely bridge the gaps between research and actual practice, between the ?bench? and the ?bed,? to borrow from medical research. For
example, although the most prevalent ED diagnosis is EDNOS, this is also the least studied or discussed in the clinical literature. Anorexia
receives the most attention in clinical writings and research, and bulimia gets considerable attention, yet over one-half of eating disorders
patients in community based samples are EDNOS (Fairburn & Bonn 2005).The paucity of research on epidemiology, course, and outcome of
EDNOS certainly affects the effectiveness of care for this little understood patient population. Also, despite significant comorbidity,
research studies often exclude comorbid conditions therefore shedding limited light on the actual cases a clinician is most apt to see
in practice. In sum, scholarly in design, yet practical in application, this book will provide invaluable links between the research
and practice domains presently critically lacking.
Special Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Gaps will be
an edited volume with contributions from senior clinicians and researchers, all of whom have decades of experience treating and/or researching
anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, and eating disorders not otherwise specified. Intended to be clinically rich and instructive,
this book will articulate and explore essential points of information, issues, insights and unresolved questions about eating disorders
treatment. Special Issues in the Treatment of Eating Disorders: Bridging the Gaps will be a unique and especially valuable addition to
the literature because it brings together the perspectives, practices and contributions of psychotherapists and researchers who have
been pioneers in the field of eating disorders.
