Concise and practical yet comprehensive, this unique book provides a clear framework and a range of up-to-date tools for assessing patients with eating disorders. Leading clinicians and researchers describe the nuts and bolts of using diagnostic interviews, standardized databases, structured instruments, self-report and family-based measures, medical and nutritional assessment, ecological momentary assessment, and strategies for evaluating body image disturbance. Concrete examples and sample forms are included throughout, and the concluding chapter discusses how to use assessment data in individualized treatment planning.
"A critically important book that will have a significant impact on clinical care and research in the field of eating disorders. Top eating disorder researchers provide the necessary tools for integrating observation and verbal inquiry to deliver state-of-the-art care. The book offers a thorough review of assessment techniques for eating disorder clinicians (mental health, primary care physicians, and nutritionists) and researchers. It will be a valuable text for graduate students and psychiatry residents." - David B. Herzog, Harvard Eating Disorders Center, Massachusetts General Hospital, USA
