Book excerpt: "This guidebook offers parents clear definitions of what an eating disorder is, how to recognize its symptoms, and what to do about them. Targeting anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, and touching on binge eating disorder, authors B. Timothy Walsh and V. L. Cameron explain the challenges of getting an adequate diagnosis, and offer guidance in obtaining the right treatment for each disorder. The book combines the latest scientific expertise and research findings available on these illnesses with the practical wisdom of parents who have experienced these disorders in their children."--BOOK JACKET.
