Understand Eating Disorders

The combination of client and therapist in this book works well. Heart-wrenching journal articles are followed by clear and insightful commentary of Ms. Goldberg. If you've never understood eating disorders before, you will have a better understanding after reading this book. You may find how little food has to do with it...Thanks for a great book.

Inside an Eating Disorder

This is an excellent picture of an eating disorder. The authors provide a brave and poignant picture of the struggles of the author (Messinger), along with important insight and commentary by Merle Goldberg, MSW. This is a MUST for anyone with an eating disorder, or anyone who knows someone with one or who works in the medical/mental health fields.
