ABSTRACT

This volume should enhance health care professionals' understanding of the myriad complications that develop when a person with an eating disorder gets married or becomes involved in a long-term intimate relationship. Drawing on their vast experience in family therapy, social work, and treatment of eating disorders, the authors carefully review the current literature on eating disorders in long-term relationships, and then present a practical approach to assessment and treatment.
