Product Information
Updated to meet contemporary concerns, this second edition is aimed at those who want to do something practical about anorexia nervosa/bulimia. Its contribution is the widely acknowledged whirlpool theory which unifies the physiological and psychological aspects of the illness. This provides much needed alternatives for the helpers who are all too often drawn into coercing the sufferer to eat, which is psychologically destructive, or ignoring the physical aspects of the problem which can be dangerous. The book also offers a basis for resolving continuing medical and legal dilemmas. To illustrate their approach, the authors draw extensively on their own research and many years of experience providing effective therapy.Product Identifiers
