Book Overview

The highly respected and widely known Anorexia Nervosa: A Survival Guide for Sufferers and Friends was written in 1997. This long-awaited new edition builds on the work of the first book, providing essential new and updated research outcomes on anorexia nervosa. It offers a unique insight and guidance into the recovery process for those who suffer from an eating disorder as well as advice and information for their loved ones. Written collaboratively by both an expert in the field and someone with personal experience of eating disorders, this book offers exceptional understanding of the issues surrounding the illness.

Divided into four sections, it includes:

an outline of anorexia nervosa

coping strategies for sufferers

advice and information for families, carers and friends

guidelines for professionals who are involved in the sufferer's life.

Families, friends, carers and professionals such as teachers and GPs are encouraged to read all sections in order to fully understand the illness. With an emphasis on collaboration and a layout that enables content to be referenced and read in any order, this book is an essential resource for anyone affected, directly or indirectly, by anorexia nervosa.

This book saved my life (and my sanity)!!

I'm a recovering anorexic (thanks to this book) It's full of great information on the psychological, physiological, and social effects of this horrifying disease. It provides great information for friends and family on how to support those suffering from anorexia, and dedicates an entire section to "the sufferer". I wanted to recover so badly, but I didn't know where or how to begin, and I was too humiliated to see anyone professionally. I had forgotten how to eat: when to eat, what to eat, and I didn't know what eating again would do to my body. This book told me all that, and helped me to differentiate my self from the "anorexia minx" This book is sympathetic, supportive, informative, and a must for sufferers and their friends and families!
