I am beginning at an PHP and IOP eating disorder clinic and I am new to this field. I am interested in following latest research on effective treatment methods as well as assessments. I am unfamiliar with who is also working in this field.
There are many researchers and clinicians in the field of eating disorders. Here are some excellent handbooks and treatment books.

Hi Jenifer,
You would also benefit from looking at professional organisations for eating disorder researchers, such as the AED which has a conference every year (ICED). You can usually find the program which gives an interesting view of current research.
Hi Jenifer, and welcome to the field of eating disorders. It's great that you are wanting to familiarize yourself with research and I endorse Claire and Stephen's answers. Organizations such as the Academy for Eating Disorders and the Eating Disorders Research Society (who are holding their annual meeting next week in Leipzig, Germany) are great ways of keeping up with the latest research developments and clinical options and recommendations. Sign up for the AED conference in Chigago in April, 2018, I'm sure you'll benefit a lot from that. Also, take a look at what is published in professional journals on eating disorders - the International j of EDs; the European ED Review; Eating Disorders, Treatment and Prevention; the Journal of ED, Appetite, Eating and Weight Behaviors and more... You can look up the authors of articles that interest you and find more of their research. And meet a lot of them at the AED conference! Good luck, Rachel.
Hi Jenifer, you can also use ResearchGate to follow Janet Treasure - Hubert Lacey - John Farnill Morgan - Paul Robinson and their many colleagues from the London Eating Disorders Services - and may I also direct your attention to this open access online Journal Special Issue on psychosocial perspectives on the offering and receiving of food?
