Psychology of Eating - From Healthy To Disordered Behavior 2e (John Wiley and Sons Ltd)

Written in a lively and accessible manner, The Psychology of Eating offers deep insights into why we eat and is an invaluable source of information for lay readers and professionals alike who wish to broaden their understanding of eating-related behavior. The second edition is updated throughout and addresses topics, such as the nature of a healthy diet, how we make choices about what to eat, dieting and body dissatisfaction, and the root causes and treatments of obesity, bulimia, and anorexia. While the book draws on other related disciplines to explore eating-related behaviors, its primary emphasis is on the psychology of eating, as viewed from a social, health, and clinical perspective.
