Summary
Details

Pica-the persistent desire to consume non-edible substances-is much more than an unusual eating habit. This book shows that pica is a complex interplay of biological, psychological, sensory, and cultural factors. It explains the role of nutrient deficiencies, neurobiological characteristics, emotional self-regulation, and social conditions, and explains why pica occurs particularly frequently in certain phases of life and in neurodivergent developments. Based on current research, the work combines medical, psychotherapeutic, and cultural studies perspectives to provide a comprehensive understanding of the disorder. It shows how diagnosis, treatment, and interdisciplinary care can be designed to help those affected effectively and respectfully. This book fills a significant gap in the specialist literature and offers those affected a well-founded, clear, and modern introduction to an often overlooked clinical phenomenon. Bremen University Press has published over 5,500 specialist books in various languages since 2005. January 2026
