Testo aggiuntivo
"Dr. Kirkpatrick adeptly draws upon his decades of experience to sift nuanced and unexpected aspects of eating disorder presentations from what often are cacophonous clinical interactions. The atheoretical, direct suggestions for querying are a virtually endless cache for new and seasoned clinicians alike. This text will open eyes to aspects of assessment that may be otherwise overlooked and sit as a frequently accessed reference on the prudent clinician’s shelf."

"This book is amazing. Dr. James Kirkpatrick has written a seminal text on eating disorders that explores both the internal and external influences that propagate and maintain this complex illness. Dr. Kirkpatrick's insightful exploration and step-by-step approach to a patient's history is a practical blueprint that can only promote the therapeutic alliance between patient and practitioner and allow for a treatment approach that is multidimensional, sensitive and evidence-based."
