"Alone the chapter on 'sensitivities that heal and those that hinder' by Ken Nunn would have justified a third edition of this book, but there is more, much more of value to the clinician in these newly revised chapters. The information reviewed here from neuroimaging studies, a fresh look at etiological possibilities, and Simon Gower's review of prognosis and outcome have made this edition not only more useful to the theoretician, but of value to the clinician struggling to help the the families of children with eating disorders understand the state of the art and science." - Julie O'Toole M.D., M.P.H.
