Assessment Methods for Eating Behaviour and Weight-Related Problems: Measures, Theory and Research
This book published in 2011 informs us of the ongoing research and latest theories, as well as the measures and assessment tools employed to measure attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors related to food. Blundell et al. describe how quality of life, body image, binge eating, purging are evaluated, in addition to the measures used to assess physical activity, food consumption, restrained eating (restricting food intake to lose or maintain weight), and people’s attitudes and beliefs on obese individuals. This Handbook acts as a reference for researchers specialized in obesity and for clinicians focused on working with patients who show poor dietary behavior. There are also sections in this book on children’s issues with eating and body weight, and the identification of psychological problems in patients with eating disorders. A number of highly regarded scholars and researchers in this field have contributed to this Handbook to bring us up-to-date, evidence-based information. It is said that there is no other resource that offers such a comprehensive collection of assessment methods for eating disorders and weight-related problems in one volume.
