This stimulating book explores the theory, assessment, and treatment of eating disordered patients. The authors focus on the subset of eating disordered patients who manifest symptoms of dissociation impulsivity and report a history of childhood trauma. The purpose is to expand the understanding and treatment of eating disordered patients who report a history of childhood trauma. The authors introduce research which suggests that this group is vulnerable to dissociative symptoms and impulse problems. They present a multifactorial model that examines the relationship between childhood trauma and the symptoms of dissociationas well as link disturbed self-control to dissociative symptoms. The discussion is targeted for clinicians involved in treating eating disordered patients; it provides a useful theoretical model and a practical approach to assessment and treatment that keeps the management of the eating disorder in focus. This book is relevant for clinical researchers as well. The authors consistently focus on research in drawing conclusions regarding the relationship between borderline personality disorder, trauma history, and impulse control problems. The book has a helpful chapter on multidimensional assessment that includes overviews of measures for eating disorders, psychiatric comorbidity, dissociation, psychotrauma, and family background. Moreover, the authors persuasively link the function of multidimensional assessment with accurate and timely clinical intervention. Several of the assessment measures are printed in the appendixes. Also featured is an appendix discussing the outcome data from the authors' study of dissociation in eating disordered patients. The book willbe useful to clinicians who work with eating disordered patients who report a history of childhood trauma. The authors provide a comprehensive model for understanding the comorbid presence of eating disorders, dissociative symptoms, and impulse control problems. Moreover, they introduce guidelines for making treatment decisions when managing a patient with an eating disorder. The cautionary tone of these directives may function as a corrective to models of treatment for childhood trauma that do not take into account the complexity of comorbidity in eating disordered patients. Finally, the book makes a significant contribution to the ongoing research in the area of eating disorders, dissociation, and impulse control.
