Binge Eating Psychological Factors, Symptoms and Treatment


Free Download Natalie Chambers, "Binge Eating: Psychological Factors, Symptoms and Treatment"
English | ISBN: 1606922424 | 2009 | 284 pages | PDF | 4 MB
Binge eating disorder (BED) is the most common eating disorder among men and women. This book centres on binge eating, which consists of episodes of uncontrollable overeating, followed by compensatory behaviour (ie: purging, fasting, heavy exercising). People who suffer from this disease often try to hide their binge-eating episodes from others, and often feel ashamed or depressed about their overeating. Many factors may contribute to binge-eating, such as dissociation, which may undermine an individual’s body image, and impulsivity. This book focuses on such factors as well as the frequency with which such behaviours occur in multi-ethnic populations, and the differences in frequency rates as a function of gender and identity. The differences in binge eating and bulimia nervosa behaviours are also explained, as well as the theory that binging on some palatable foods, such as sugar, can result in addictive-like behaviour. The association between emotional abuse in childhood and future binge eating episodes are explained as well as the prevalence of BE episodes in overweight or obese children or adolescents. The effectiveness of certain treatments for binge-eating are described, including cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), motivational enhancement therapy (MET) and combined treatment.

It describes the techniques within the widest clinical context, for use across the age range and from referral to discharge. Throughout the text, the links between theory and practice are highlighted in order to stress the importance of the flexible application of skills to each new situation. Case studies and sample dialogs are employed to demonstrate the principles in action and the book concludes with a set of useful handouts for patients and other tools. This book will be essential reading for all those working with eating-disordered patients including psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, counsellors, dieticians, and occupational therapists.

Eating disorders in males are a complex phenomenon. Eating disorders are less common in males than in females, occurring generally 10 times more frequently in women than in men. In spite of similar symptoms in men and women, men are less likely to be primarily diagnosed as suffering from an eating disorder and they risk to be under-diagnosed. This unique book reviews research on the epidemiology, clinical features, risk factors, weight and shape concerns, body dissatisfaction and a particular male anxiety on muscle mass on the topic of eating disorders in males.

The Construction of Eating Disorders


Free Download The Construction of Eating Disorders: Psychiatry, Politics and Cultural Representations of Disordered Eating
English | 2024 | ISBN: 3031703170 | 432 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 4 MB
This book draws on original research to critically examine the social and industrial construction of eating disorders and disordered eating, in an analysis that encompasses psychiatry and health, cultural representations, and the politics of eating disorders. Centrally, it examines the extent to which eating disorders are not ‘made’ by individuals, but rather constructed by groups who claim investment, experience, and expertise in the diagnosis, labeling, treatment, and management of disordered eating. It demonstrates the impacts of biomedical, psychiatric, legal, pharmaceutical, technical and consumer groups, as well as that of the fast-food, fashion, media and social media industries. In doing so, it reveals how they shape the ways that eating disorders are perceived, spoken of, written about, and managed within institutions and wider society. It will appeal to students and scholars of mental health, critical psychology, medical sociology and anthropology and gender studies, and others interested in our future health.
