Book Synopsis On the Continuum of Eating Disorders by : Lana Lee Hawkins
Download or read book On the Continuum of Eating Disorders written by Lana Lee Hawkins and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theorists and researchers have long debated as to whether the differences between subthreshold levels of eating disturbances and diagnosable eating disorders are a difference of degree (the continuum hypothesis) or a difference of kind (the discontinuity hypothesis). The present study investigated the relationship between level of eating disordered behaviour and the psychopathology associated with, and thought by some to be prodromal factors in, the development of clinically diagnosable eating disorders. Adolescent female students from both public and private schools, and adolescent female patients in treatment for subclinical or full syndrome anorexia or bulimia nervosa, were classified into five groups (asymptomatic, normal, symptomatic, subclinical, and eating disordered) on the basis of their responses to a questionnaire which provides a measure of current weight-control practices and yields a DSM-IV eating disorder diagnosis. Eating disorder symptomatology and related psychopathology were assessed by the Eating Disorder Inventory-2. A discriminant function analysis was performed to determine the number and nature of the dimensions required to distinguish among the five groups. Two functions were significant. The first function, thinness strivings, distinguishes among the normal, symptomatic, and subclinical groups; the asymptomatic group was equivalent to the normal group, and the eating disordered group was equivalent to the subclinical group. The second function, body dissatisfaction/psychopathology, distinguishes the eating disordered group from the subclinical group, and the asymptomatic group from the normal group. Results are discussed as being consistent with a view of eating disorders as being Distinct from below-threshold levels of eating disturbances, and implications for assessment and treatment are discussed.

Book Synopsis Embodiment and the Treatment of Eating Disorders: The Body as a Resource in Recovery by : Catherine Cook-Cottone
Download or read book Embodiment and the Treatment of Eating Disorders: The Body as a Resource in Recovery written by Catherine Cook-Cottone and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2020-09-22 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tools for the clinician to help clients turn their bodies into resources for healing from eating disorders. Embodiment refers to the lived attunement of the inner and outer experience of self. Cognitions are aligned with the sensing and feeling body. Further, in an attuned experience of self, positive embodiment is maintained by internally focused tools, such as self-care practices that support physiological health, emotional well-being, and effective cognitive functioning. For those who suffer from eating disorders, this is not the case; in fact, the opposite is true. Disordered thinking, an unattuned sense of self, and negative cognitions abound. Turning this thinking around is key to client resilience and treatment successes. Catherine Cook-Cottone provides tools for clinicians working with clients to restore their healthy selves and use their bodies as a positive resource for healing and long-term health. The book goes beyond traditional treatments to talk about mindful self-care, mindful eating, yoga, and other practices designed to support self-regulation.

Book excerpt: Determine if your eating behaviors are a problem, develop strategies to change unhealthy patterns, and learn when and how to get professional help when needed with this practical, engaging guide to taking care of yourself when you are not a full-blown anorexic. Millions of men and women struggle with disordered eating. Some stand at the mirror wondering how they can face the day when they look so fat. Others binge, purge, or exercise compulsively. Many skip meals, go on diet after diet, or cut out entire food groups. Still, they are never thin enough. While only 1 in 200 adults will struggle with full-blown anorexia nervosa, at least 1 in 20 (including 1 in 10 teen girls) will exhibit key symptoms of one or more of the officially recognized DSM eating disorders--anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Many suffer from the effects but never address the issue because they don't fully meet the diagnostic criteria. If this is the case for you, then you may be "almost anorexic." Drawing on case studies and the latest research, Almost Anorexic combines a psychologist's clinical experience with a patient's personal recovery story to help readers understand and overcome almost anorexia.Almost Anorexic will give you the skills to: understand the symptoms of almost anorexic; determine if your (or your loved one's) relationship with food is a problem; gain insight on how to intervene with a loved one; discover scientifically proven strategies to change unhealthy eating patterns; learn when and how to get professional help when it's needed.

Book Synopsis Eating Disorders in America by : David E. Newton
Download or read book Eating Disorders in America written by David E. Newton and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2019-03-07 with total page 365 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An indispensable resource for readers interested in eating disorders, this book summarizes their history in human civilization, assesses the current status of eating disorders in American society, and describes efforts for establishing effective prevention and treatment programs. Although eating disorders have existed for centuries, considerable controversy remains as to the basic cause or causes of these disorders and their genetic, biological, and/or psychological factors. Eating Disorders in America: A Reference Handbook investigates these disorders, priming readers on the causes, symptoms, controversies, and treatments available. The two opening chapters of the book provide general background and a historical review of the existence of eating disorders in society. The remaining chapters provide resources the reader can use for further research, such as an extensive annotated bibliography, a glossary, and a chronology. This book differs from others on the topic in that it provides both an expository section that provides information as well as a set of resources for further research. The book also contains a "perspectives" chapter in which writers describe and discuss their personal views on the subject of eating disorders. Together with the author's expertise, these views add to the value of this book as a resource for eating disorder research.
