This book focuses on the gaps that existed when considering the eating disorders and obesity fields as possible companions. We argued that an improved exchange of information between the two fields could expand the knowlege of both, and might yield new theories to be explored, a better understanding of mechanisms governing eating behavior and weight control, more effective treatments, and the ability to intervene in one area without causing harm in the other. It is informative to look now, some two decades after the first edition was published, at how things have changed, and to what degree these hopes have been realized.
