Jane Ogden

from healthy to disordered behavior

In this new edition of her previous book, the author integrates the interdisciplinary research findings into a broad-based framework. It contains 62 pages of scholarly references and is a resource for those who work in the field of nutrition and dietetics, particularly those who work in weight loss, obesity treatment or the treatment of eating disorders. It also provides insight into the psychology of eating and an understanding about why we eat what we eat, and why many have eating habits/behaviours that may not always be good for their health
