Rezensionen

- The Observer Magazine, 9 November 2003New Woman magazine, March 2005

"I highly recommend this wide-ranging and clearly written book, which contains a treasure-trove of interesting material and useful references. Dr. Ogden addresses a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from the psychology of normal eating to body shape concerns, obesity, and eating disorders. This is a valuable work for both researchers and students, and will be of special interest to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in the fields of psychology and nutritional science." -- Richard Gordon, Bard College

"Ogden's book is a comprehensive integration of the interrelated topics of dieting, eating disorders, obesity, and physical

and mental health. It provides wide-ranging and in-depth coverage of issues key to understanding and addressing the seemingly contradictory upsurge of both obesity and eating disorders." -- Michael R. Lowe, Drexel University

"Eating can be a source of delight or an opportunity for poor psychological and physical health. In this book Jane Ogden gives a scholarly and yet digestible overview of the psychological underpinnings of this important area." -- Janet Treasure, King's College London

"There is no doubt that in terms of its breadth and depth the book is impressive ... For those who are entering the field and who require a source that outlines the vast literature on the areas and approaches to the psychology of eating then this book will be a useful guide to the many areas that make up the field ... highly relevant for students undertaking courses in undergraduate health psychology, postgraduate psychology and professional studies in nutrition and dietetics, nursing and counselling." -- Julie Hepworth, Queen Margaret University College, Edinburgh, Journal of Health Psychology, Vol 9(4) 617-620

"A highly respected scholar, Ogden (health psychology, Univ. of Surrey, UK) has done a masterful job of updating the book and, more important, integrating the interdisciplinary research findings into a broad-based framework. Accordingly, this is the most comprehensive treatment of the subject currently available...Ogden's writing style is engaging, and her model of diet creative and useful. Including 62 pages of scholarly references, this comprehensive volume offers a feast of information. Summing Up: Highly recommended." (Choice, 1 May 2011)

"Overall this book provides an interesting insight into the psychology of eating and should be a useful 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 should also be a useful read for anyone who wants to understand more about why we eat what we eat, and why many have eating habits/behaviours that may not always be good for their health." (Nutrition Bulletin, June 2010)
