Abstract

Eating disorders have one of the highest mortality rates among psychiatric condition. However, these conditions are difficult to detect by both primary-care physicians and mental health professionals. As a result, eating-disordered patients often go unrecognized and untreated. The utilization of standardized rating scales and structured interviews can increase the recognition of these conditions and also improve treatment planning and outcome monitoring. This chapter provides a detailed review of the available self-report instruments and semi-structured interviews for the eating disorders.
