Assessment of Eating Disorders

by James E. Mitchell (Editor), Carol B. Peterson (Editor)

Concise and practical yet comprehensive, this unique book provides a clear framework and a range of up-to-date tools for assessing patients with eating disorders. Leading clinicians and researchers describe the nuts and bolts of using diagnostic interviews, standardized databases, structured instruments, self-report and family-based measures, medical and nutritional assessment, ecological momentary assessment, and strategies for evaluating body image disturbance. Concrete examples and sample forms are included throughout, and the concluding chapter discusses how to use assessment data in individualized treatment planning.

A great overview of the key components (interview, self-report measures, medical assessment, nutritional eval, family systems, etc.) in an eating disorders eval.

Read this in preparation for a new job. Pretty perfunctory presentation, but good basic information.
