Handbook of Assessment Methods for Eating Behaviors and Weight-Related Problems
by
"How does one best assess body image? What are the various ways one can measure physical activity and expenditure of energy? Ho would one go about evaluating eating behaviors and attitudes in populations other than white, middle-class, young adults? If these are the types of questions you find yourself asking, this handbook may prove an invaluable resource for you. . . . While the specific focus of the handbook is measurement issues and techniques, the range of topical areas covered is impressively wide. . . . Consistent with the general purpose of a professional handbook, the current volume serves as a valuable reference for those working in fields related to problems in weight and eating. . . . Certainly the handbook is a requisite volume for those serious about appropriate and accurate measurement in eating disorders and weight-related problems." --Michael W. Wiederman, Ph.D., in Eating Disorders "This book is a comprehensive review of methods of assessing eating behavior and weight-related problems. . . . There are no other works with which this book can be compared, because it is innovative and establishes a foundation of resources for clinicians seriously interested in the assessment of attitudes toward, behavior in, and some physical measures of eating and weight disorders." --Arnold E. Andersen, M.D., in The New England Journal of Medicine "An outstanding contribution to the field of eating disorders and obesity. . . . I am impressed with the overall quality of the material. There is, to my knowledge, no other way to conveniently access the wealth of information contained in this book. For the professional interested in the study or treatment of eating disorders and obesity, it can be an invaluable reference tool. The coverage is comprehensive, up-to-date, and clearly presented. It has already saved me hours of library literature searching." --Lawrence J. Cheskin, M.D., Director, The Johns Hopkins Weight Management Center, Baltimore, MD "This large volume is a valuable addition to the enormous literature in the area of eating behaviors and disorders and regulation of weight simply because the focus here is on measurement. This includes subjective, often self-report measures as well as objective methods of assessment. Having such a comprehensive set in one place . . . permits researchers and clinicians an opportunity to review the wide-ranging variety and to make preliminary decisions about searching for the essential details. Attention is given to psychometric characteristics, including norms, as basic steps in evaluating selections. Chapters vary in weightiness of data given. . . . The wealth of information here can focus effort productively." --Psychological Reports "An outstanding research source. I highly recommend this superb book. It should be on every researcher's shelf." --John P. Foreyt, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas Success in the study and treatment of eating disorders and weight-related problems depends greatly on the efficacy of the instruments used. As the number of available instruments has increased, so has the difficulty in determining which is most appropriate for a specific case or project. Offering a refined and carefully analyzed sampling of relevant materials, the Handbook of Assessment Methods for Eating Behaviors and Weight-Related Problems is the first comprehensive reference guide in this field. Following the introduction and discussion of such key constructs as binge eating and purging, dietary restraint, and body image, the authors offer critical analyses of the measurement instruments most suitable for study in those areas. Each instrument is then evaluated in terms of its development, psychometric properties, and availability; finally, pragmatic concerns including the time and financial resources necessary for the use of that instrument are considered. Through a combination of standardized formatting and meticulous editing, this volume achieves a rare--and appreciable--level of integration and cohesiveness. While clearly an essential resource for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians, this book is ultimately for anyone whose work emphasizes the value of rigorous measurement of the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, or bodies of persons experiencing eating disorders and weight-related problems.
The Secret Language of Eating Disorders
by Peggy Claude-Pierre
"I feel so dirty, hopeless, no-good, fat, scared, a failure. I dont deserve to live.""My daughter is 58" and 60 pounds. She wont comply with anyone. She has ruined the family.""I cant be cured. Im too bad. Im going to have to deal with this the rest of my life.""My doctor told me that I dont want to grow up.""I hate myself for being the cause of all of this.""I dont want my daughter to die. They say we are a dysfunctional family, but we dont fight and we love our daughter. Surely something can be done."All of these statements are based on myths and misconceptions about anorexia and bulimia. Unfortunately, these myths and others not only deepen the suffering of victims of eating disorders, but shape how we regard and treat those victims. If you are a parent , family member, loved one, or caregiver of a victim, or a victim yourself, you know the punishing pain and sense of hopelessness caused by eating disorders. Now an extraordinary new book offers new hope and help to all whose lives are threatened by these scourges. In The Secret Language of Eating Disorders, Peggy Claude-Pierre, founder of the world-renowned eating disorders program at the Montreaux Clinic in Victoria, Canada, puts these damaging myths to rest and reveals her groundbreaking theories on the ultimate cure for illnesses that current medicine treats with little success.Peggy Claude-Pierre developed her unique insights into eating disorders through successfully treating her own two anorexic daughters and hundreds of acutely ill patients at Montreaux, which specializes in treating victims near death whom doctors and hospitals havent helped. She became convinced that eating disorders stem from a complex negative mindset. Often established at birth, it causes sufferers to feel an overwhelming sense of worthlessness that frequently results in a slow process of self-destruction. It is Peggy Claude-Pierres conviction that this mindset--and the resulting eating disorder--can be permanently reversed through a program based on unconditional love, regard, positive reinforcement, easing of the victims burdens of blame and responsibility, and objectivity training.In The Secret Language of Eating Disorders, Claude-Pierre details her theories on the true causes of anorexia and bulimia and lays out the basis of the Montreaux program, which has an astonishingly high success rate, curing even the gravest cases. She describes the origins of the negative mindset and the five stages of recovery from eating disorders, spotlights the special challenges of coping with them at home, and offers clear, practical guidelines to working effectively with health professionals. She also shares the voices of dozens of former patients who offer their own stories of recovery as inspiration to victims, their families, and loved ones. Peggy Claude-Pierre's heartfelt message of hope is that eating disorders can be cured, not merely managed, and that deep within every person suffering from these illnesses is a loving, deserving soul who can and should be saved. As Peggy Claude-Pierre writes to victims, "You are not failures at life, merely at understanding your own value. Soon professionals across the globe will discontinue treating the symptoms of eating disorders as the cause." This powerful, compassionate book will revolutionize the way we think about eating disorders and their victims. It will literally save lives.
