This is the first authored volume to offer a detailed, integrated analysis of the field of eating problems and disorders with theory, research, and practical experience from community and developmental psychology, public health, psychiatry, and dietetics. The book highlights connections between the prevention of eating problems and disorders and theory and research in the areas of prevention and health promotion; theoretical models of risk development and prevention (e.g., developmental psychopathology, social cognitive theory, feminist theory, ecological approaches); and related research on the prevention of smoking and alcohol use. It is the most comprehensive book available on the study of prevention programs, especially for children and adolescents.The authors review the spectrum of eating problems and disorders, the related risk and protective factors, the models that have guided prevention efforts to date, the literature on the studies of prevention, and suggestions for curriculum and program development and evaluation. The book concludes with a new prevention program based on the Feminist Ecological Developmental model. The 800 + references highlight work done around the world.The Prevention of Eating Problems and Eating Disorders addresses: * methodologies for assessing and establishing prevention;* the implications of neuroscience for prevention;* dramatic increases in the incidence of obesity;* the role of boys, men, and the media on body image;* prevention programming for minority groups; and* whether to focus on primary or secondary prevention.Intended for clinicians and academicians from disciplines such as health, clinical, developmental, and community psychology; social work; medicine; and public health; this book is also an ideal text for advanced courses on eating disorders.

Exercise dependence or addiction has been described as a 'positive addiction', but it can have links with damaging dysfunctional and excessive behaviours, including eating disorders. Clinical and sport psychologists now acknowledge the condition and report that it can be found in recreational exercisers and competitive athletes. This is the first text to provide a comprehensive guide to exercise dependence. The text contains case studies and reviews research into exercise dependence in both 'exercise' and 'sports' contexts. The authors examine the condition in the widest sense, exploring different types of exercise dependence, risk factors associated with the condition, the experiences and motivational characteristics of sufferers, links with eating disorders, and a number of approaches to counselling. This text will be of significant interest to psychologists working in sport, health and clinical practice, as well as to athletes and sports coaches, particularly those involved in endurance sports associated with higher incidences of exercise dependence.

Comfortably Unaware will open your eyes to the global effects of your food choices and--hopefully--will encourage you to make a difference. In Comfortably Unaware, Dr. Richard Oppenlander tackles the crucial issue of ''global depletion'' as it relates to food choice. His forthright information and stark mental images are often disturbing--and that's how it should be. As the guardians of Planet Earth, we need to be shaken out of our complacency, to stop being ''comfortably unaware,'' and to understand the measures we must take to ensure the health and well-being of our planet--and of ourselves. Oppenlander breaks down the information in easy-to-read chapters that touch on issues ranging from the rainforests (''depleting the lungs of our planet''), to water and oceans, to the air we breathe. His fresh insight on this suppressed, and often controversial, topic goes well beyond the now-familiar warnings about ''global warming.'' His information is essential reading; he provides entirely new perspectives on our culture and how this global crisis reached such startling proportions, as well as--most important--how to solve the problem.
