Compulsive Eating Behavior and Food Addiction: Emerging Pathological Constructs

Editat de Pietro Cottone, Catherine F Moore, Valentina Sabino, George F. Koob
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 24 iul 2019
Compulsive Eating Behavior and Food Addiction: Emerging Pathological Constructs is the first book of its kind to emphasize food addiction as an addictive disorder. This book focuses on the preclinical aspects of food addiction research, shifting the focus towards a more complex behavioral expression of pathological feeding and combining it with current research on neurobiological substrates. This book will become an invaluable reference for researchers in food addiction and compulsive eating constructs.
Compulsive eating behavior is a pathological form of feeding that phenotypically and neurobiologically resembles the compulsive-like behaviors associated with both drug abuse and behavioral addictions. Compulsive eating behavior, including Binge Eating Disorder (BED), certain forms of obesity, and ‘food addiction’ affect an estimated 70 million individuals worldwide.


  • Synthesizes clinical and preclinical perspectives on addictive eating behavior
  • Identifies how food addiction is similar and/or different from other addictions
  • Focuses on the underlying neurobiological mechanisms
  • Provides information on therapeutic interventions for patients with food addiction
