Beskrivelse
The Untold Story of ARFID: Unveiling the Science Behind a New Eating Disorder is a comprehensive collection of cutting-edge scientific journal articles that delve into the complexities of Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID). Since its formal introduction in the DSM-5 in 2013, ARFID has posed unique challenges in the fields of psychology, nutrition, and pediatrics, distinct in its lack of association with body image concerns. This anthology opens with an exploration of clinical practices for inpatient stabilization, highlighting the urgent need for standardized treatment protocols. Subsequent articles provide a deep dive into the prevalence, characteristics, and sensory sensitivities associated with ARFID, and evaluate various screening tools like the Stanford Feeding Questionnaire. The collection evaluates treatment methodologies, debating whether ARFID aligns more closely with feeding or eating disorders, and critically examines the nutritional deficiencies often faced by patients. Family-based treatment approaches and educational interventions for parents are spotlighted, showcasing their transformative potential. Broader epidemiological studies shed light on the public health impacts and health-related quality of life of individuals with ARFID. Practical insights come from detailed reports on service organization in specialized clinics, underscoring the need for multidisciplinary approaches. This book is an invaluable resource for medical practitioners, researchers, and anyone interested in the nuanced landscape of ARFID, offering a blend of clinical insights and empathetic perspectives to better understand and tackle this emerging eating disorder.
