Now, in one comprehensive, easy-to-access volume, this essential handbook lays bare the scope of the growing problem of childhood and adolescent obesity. It goes further, too, examining the impact of the epidemic in terms of its psychological burden, its health consequences, and the available prevention and treatment options. Editors Jelalian and Steele have ensured that the chapters utilize the most up-to-date empirical and clinical knowledge available. This volume provides readers not only raw data, but also a framework for translating findings into effective, efficient practice – assessment, treatment, and prevention. The text emphasizes developmental considerations – the specific information most relevant to toddlers, school-age children, and adolescents. It also examines sociocultural and economic risk factors and their attendant treatment issues, and addresses the particular challenges of treating overweight children with psychiatric comorbidities. In sum, it will be requiredreading for a host of professionals, from psychologists to social workers and medical practitioners.
