Nine chapters which blend medical facts with case histories

Eating disorders aren't a product of dieting trends or fashion goals: they are long-standing diseases which first appeared in the late 1600s and affect young and old alike. EATING DISORDERS reveals the possible causes, effects and treatments of disorders ranging from Anorexia nervosa to pica and selective eating, offering nine chapters which blend medical facts with case histories.

A real eye-opener

I read this book while in a therapy group for eating disorders. It made me realize what I was doing to myself, and opened my eyes to all the complications an eating disorder can create! This book motivated me to get back on the track of healthy eating and living. I would recommend this book to anyone. Even if you've never had an eating problem, it will help you better understand them.
