Description
The culmination of several years of collaborative effort
among eating disorders investigators from around the world, Developing an
Evidence-Based Classification of Eating Disorders: Scientific Findings
for DSM-5 provides summaries of the research presentations and
discussions of the conceptual and methodological issues involved in
diagnosing and classifying eating disorders. The mission of the DSM-5 Eating
Disorder Work Group was to improve the clinical utility of eating disorder
diagnoses by recommending revisions based on sound empirical evidence.
Although the objective was to provide empirical information to the DSM-5
Eating Disorders Work Group, the research presented in this book should be
invaluable to the eating disorders research and clinical community at large
and, by extension, to their patients.
Eating disorders are serious,
difficult to treat, and often lead to multiple medical complications, high
rates of psychiatric comorbidity, and mortality. It is critical, then, that
clinicians be aware of the most current research, as well as understand the
foundation of the soon-to-be-released DSM-5.
Improving the definition
of symptoms and syndromes is one of the critical challenges the authors
tackle-in particular the validity of the eating disorders not otherwise
specified category, into which 60% of patients diagnosed with an eating
disorder now fall. In addition, other mental disorders, particularly mood
disorders and anxiety disorders, co-occur at a higher rate than would be
expected. These findings indicate the need for greater specificity in the
nosology, an issue which the investigators address. Other topics addressed include:
* Eating disorders in children and adolescents, including diagnostic
differences and classification. Also included is a chapter on the validity
of applying a classification for feeding disorders in infants and young
children, as well as one that covers latent profile analysis to identify
eating disorder phenotypes in the adolescent population.
* Cultural
considerations and cross-cultural variation in the classification of eating
disorders, including Native American, Japanese, Canadian, and Pacific Fijian
populations.
* A discussion of non-fat-phobic anorexia nervosa and its
suitability for inclusion in DSM-5.
* Current and future directions for
the assessment of the cognitive criteria for anorexia nervosa.
* A
chapter on loss of control eating, including implications for future weight
gain, depression, binge drinking, and substance abuse.
Key terms,
references, summaries, charts, tables, and other illustrative features are
abundant and assist the reader in understanding the research and putting it
in context. Developing an Evidence-Based Classification of Eating
Disorders: Scientific Findings for DSM-5 is required reading for
both investigators and clinicians in the rapidly evolving field of eating
disorders.

Reviews / Votes
This is a very important work in light of the imminentpublication of DSM 5. A great deal of time and effort has gone into
improving the diagnostic categories of eating disorders to make them more
reliable and specific, and the book conveys that. The data are interesting
and relative to anyone working with patients with eating disorders. However,
the book is not for the casual reader. The chapters can be highly technical
and dense. It is not, nor was it meant to be, a treatment guide for eating
disorders. If you want to see how eating disorder nosology and taxonomy is
created and the likely changes to DSM 5 and beyond, this is the book for
you. -- Brett C. Plyler, M.D. * Doody's Publishers' Club *
