Reviews

From the reviews: This is a comprehensive review of the skin changes associated with eating disorders. ... The audience includes not only dermatologists, but also dentists and primary care physicians who ... may contribute to early diagnosis and treatment. ... I was pleasantly surprised and gained much valuable knowledge about a disease not often discussed in the field of dermatology. Since eating disorders are increasing in prevalence, I highly recommend this book to any dermatologist practicing clinical medicine. (Renata H. Mullen, Doody's Book Reviews, April, 2013)
