Eating Disorders Information for Teens: Health Tips About Anorexia, Bulimia, Binge Eating, and Other Eating Disorders


Grade 7 Up–Divided into well-organized sections, this comprehensive volume examines in great detail the causes, symptoms, treatments, and prevention of eating disorders, as well as such related issues as body image, self-esteem, athleticism, and nutrition. Features such as It's a Fact!! and What's It Mean? allow students to get quick information and/or a clearer understanding of what they have already read. Very much like Mark J. Kittleson's The Truth about Eating Disorders (Facts On File, 2004), this book covers the topic in a lucid manner but delves deeper into every aspect of an eating disorder. The appendix is filled with additional resources, including Web sites and contact information for reputable organizations. A solid addition for any nonfiction or reference collection.–Kristen M.
