It's not just picky eating. Everyone has met a child who refuses to eat vegetables or who would rather play than settle down to eat. But feeding disorders are a much more serious problem. Feeding disorders in early life can disrupt development and have been linked to later deficits in cognitive development, behavior problems, and anxiety or eating disorders. Drawing on the results of more than two decades of clinical experience, Irene Chatoor discusses the diagnostic criteria, clinical presentation, course and natural history, etiology, and treatment of feeding disorders, including: Infantile Anorexia, Sensory Food Aversions, and Posttraumatic Feeding Disorder. Case studies for each disorder illustrate both the symptoms and treatment. The book also includes Parent Information Outlines that can be reproduced to use as handouts for parents.
