"Dr. Agras has given us a remarkable volume, integrating an extensive body of acquired knowledge and emerging concepts regarding the eating disorders. The chapters reflect numerous bodies of empirical literature, are rich in detail, and summarize state of the art clinical approaches to the problems of disordered eating. As such, the Handbook will be an extraordinary resource for both practitioners and scientists."

"This is an excellent overview of the state of the science in terms of understanding and treating eating disorders. Given that eating disorders are not a part of mainstream training for clinicians, this book is essential reading for anyone involved in the competent delivery of services to individuals with eating disorders." --Doody's
"Nearly all chapters are authored by recognized experts in their fields. The chapters
are divided into four well-organized sections...The Oxford Handbook of Eating Disorders is an excellent contribution to the eating disorders literature. It includes diverse topics that are not often addressed within the
same volume. It is well written by experts in the field, well organized, and easy to read. The
chapters are unusually comprehensive and provide definitive reviews on many important
topics...It will be a welcome addition to the library of graduate students, researchers, and clinicians who want to stay up to date with the growing literature on eating disorder research." --PsycCRITIQUES
