Customer Reviews

Practical for parents, binge/purgers and counselors

Gives a well presented behavioral approach (with definite feminist leanings) to treating binge/ purgers. The authors are not critical of parents or spouses. They encourage the binge/ purger to take responsibility. They have only a few suggestions for those who are not ready to do so. Nothing about men with this eating disorder is mentioned. Overall this book is extremely practical and helpful.
