This evidence-based clinical guideline
endorsed by the National Institute for Health and Clinical
Excellence (NICE) presents guidance on physical, psychological and
service-level interventions for eating disorders. An essential
resource for all professionals involved in the management of eating
disorders, this book is a milestone in the development of truly
independent and transparent clinical guidance and an essential tool
in improving the quality of mental health care in the UK.
NICE Mental Health Guidelines
These guidelines from NICE set out clear
recommendations, based on the best available evidence, for health
care professionals on how to work with and implement physical,
psychological and service-level interventions for people with
various mental health conditions.
The book contains the full guidelines that cannot be obtained
in print anywhere else. It brings together all of the evidence that
led to the recommendations made, detailed explanations of the
methodology behind their preparation, plus an overview of the
condition covering detection, diagnosis and assessment, and the
full range of treatment and care approaches.
The accompanying free CD-ROM contains all the data used as
evidence, including:
- Included and excluded studies.
- Profile tables that summarise both the quality of the evidence
and the results of the evidence synthesis.
- All meta-analytical data, presented as forest plots.
- Detailed information about how to use and interpret forest
plots.
