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)Editors and Affiliations
