Eating Disorders: Reference Resources

The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition, Text Revision (DSM-5-TR), is the most comprehensive, current, and critical resource for clinical practice available to today's mental health clinicians and researchers. DSM-5-TR includes the fully revised text and references, updated diagnostic criteria and ICD-10-CM codes since DSM-5 was published in 2013.

Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), this resource has background information on minor and major health issues.

The Encyclopedia of Obesity and Eating Disorders, Fourth Edition is more relevant now than ever before. Presently almost two-thirds of American adults are overweight and 31 percent are obese. Eating disorders are now affecting a wider range of the population, particularly with increased diagnoses in men and boys, and a range of diet crazes has swept the country with potentially long-lasting ramifications for health and nutrition. Made up of 80 detailed articles and an extensive glossary, this reference is the first stop in any serious research of these troubling health afflictions.

This book covers the many facets of eating disorders. Each entry includes a brief overview and history of the topic, its relation to (or effect on) eating disorders, a bibliography for further reading, and cross-references.
