In this text, you'll find direct evidence gathered by the nation's leading experts supporting the hypothesis that there are important similarities between the desire for food and the classic addictions. With overeating and obesity on the rise, this resource offers new hope for understanding eating disorders and will help psychiatrists and neuroscientists develop more effective treatments."--BOOK JACKET.
