Surviving an Eating Disorder
August 29th, 2009
This book, Surviving an Eating Disorder: Strategies for Family and Friends, addresses these concerns in a thorough and straightforward way. Its authors, all skilled clinicians, bring both their expertise and compassion to an area in which meaningful dialogue is often difficult. They understand the importance of being able to recognize the early signs of an eating disorder and provide concrete guidance toward that end.
Their sensitivity to both caregivers and prospective patients makes this book highly accessible and eminently useful to those on both sides of the problem. I have and will continue to recommend it with great confidence.
Surviving an Eating Disorder has become a classic since it was first published in 1988. It was one of the first books to offer effective support and solutions for family, friends, and all others who are the "silent sufferers" of eating disorders. This updated and revised edition provides the latest information on how parents, spouses, friends, and professionals can thoughtfully determine the right course of action in their individual situations.
With its combination of information, insight, case examples, and practical strategies, Surviving an Eating Disorder opens the way to new growth and helpful solutions in your relationship with your loved one.
