L'intervento terapeutico nelle strutture semiresidenziali e residenziali

[Autom. eng. transl.] Eating disorders should be considered as psychiatric disorders but the massive organic complications, sometimes devastating for the patient, increase not only the mortality rate but also of chronicity and disability and place them in a borderland for overlapping of psychiatric and internal aspects that make it difficult not only the nosographic classification but also the therapeutic approach. Furthermore, it should not be forgotten that food, and the ways in which it relates to it, does not simply express a nutritional value but is a fundamental element of our culture, our civilization and our mental structure. This book tries to examine all the various and possible therapeutic options and illustrates the main lines of research through a discussion focused on specific lines of investigation. Each chapter is carried out by qualified and experienced colleagues in the treatment of AD belonging to various medical and psychological specialties ... The book is mainly addressed to those who are about to face the DA, general practitioners, paediatricians, specialists, psychologists , psychiatrists or internists even without a particular experience on the subject but eager to expand their cultural and human baggage.
