Composed of dozens of short yet complete articles by a variety of well-known experts, Eating Disorders is simple enough for a college student yet helpful and illuminating even for seasoned professionals who have treated the problem for years. It is brilliantly organized . . . refreshingly clear of the confusing and obnoxious jargon so common in research writing. . . . Eating Disorders has all the little extras that make a reference book truly useful. . . . Eating Disorders is an essential addition to any library." - Against the Grain
