Whilst many people try to make healthy food choices to improve their
health, for others the focus on healthy eating can become obsessive
and lead to maladaptive eating behaviours and poorer health.
Orthorexia nervosa is a preoccupation with the quality of healthy
food, where a refusal of certain foods is driven by the desire to be
healthy. Orthorexia Nervosa: Current Understanding and Perspectives is
the first clinical book that systematically explores this condition.
The book contains in-depth information, with chapters highlighting
diagnostic criteria, assessment, prevalence, multidimensional
characteristics, future directions and treatment. Additional expert
commentary delivers valuable insights to further provide readers with
a better understanding of this condition. This informative and
engaging book is a valuable resource for academics, researchers,
health professionals and students interested in eating behaviour. It
is an essential read for anyone wanting a better understanding of
orthorexia nervosa and its impact on individuals' health.
