Critical Care for Anorexia Nervosawill be of value for medical and paediatric teams, GPs, psychiatrists and all health-care professionals involved in the treatment of acutely ill patients with anorexia nervosa.

“The authors, who include physicians, eating disorders psychiatrists, pharmacists, and dietitians, wrote this ‘guidance’ to help any healthcare professionals who may have to manage the care of patients with severe anorexia in either inpatient or outpatient settings. … This book does a wonderful job of bringing together a multidisciplinary group of professionals to discuss the management of persons with severe anorexia in both inpatient and outpatient settings.” (Alyson Myers, Doody's Book Reviews, July, 2015)
