"Much has happened since the first volume of Body image, eating disorders, and obesity in youth was published in 2001. Since that time, there has been an explosion of research output in these three areas. The goal for this new edition is to assimilate the recent information into a form that is easily accessible for researchers, clinicians, and students. Our inspiration is provided by not only the interest and support of our colleagues, but our own personal experiences (and those of our colleagues) with the many young girls and boys who struggle with body image and weight-related problems. Finally, on a much more personal note, both of us have encountered situations with our own children and grandchildren related to body image, eating, and weight issues, and these continue to not only fuel our motivation to remain active in this area but also provide unique anecdotes that affect our perspectives. We hope that this new volume stimulates even more research in the areas of body image, eating disorders, and obesity in youth"--preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved).
