Preface
Binge eating, or feeling out of control while consuming a large amount of food in a discrete time period, is characteristic of several eating disorders. It is sometimes followed by compensatory behaviors like self-induced vomiting and is often highly distressing and resistant to treatment. Binge eating as a specific symptom has been understudied. In this book, written for both clinicians and researchers, experts in the eating disorders field review our current knowledge of binge eating. Research on the binge eating phenotype is discussed across cultures and psychosocial factors and integrated into theoretical models of binge eating development and maintenance. This is followed by basic science and human research on reward and control brain circuits, hormonal influences, sex, and genotype. Next, current psychosocial and pharmacological interventions for binge eating are reviewed. Final chapters propose a research agenda and discuss new directions for treatment development. Overall, this is the most up-to-date, integrative, and comprehensive synthesis
