Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The efficacy of treatments for anorexia nervosa is limited by our understanding of the underlying mechanisms that contribute to the development and maintenance of the illness. This Special Issue focuses on the neuro-bio-psycho-social factors and mechanisms that contribute to anorexia nervosa, as well as novel treatment studies that target the underlying aetiology of the illness.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research should be focused on neurobiological, biological, psychological or sociocultural aspects that contribute to the development or maintenance of anorexia nervosa; or treatment studies that focus on targeting the neurobiological, biological, psychological or sociocultural factors thought to contribute to the development or maintenance of anorexia nervosa.
I look forward to receiving your contributions and creating a Special Issue that will provide insight into the advances made in our understanding of the aetiology and treatment of anorexia nervosa.
Dr. Andrea Phillipou
Guest Editor
