About this title

Review

"Whether viewed as a collection of case vignettes written by experienced and talented therapists or as accounts of clinical techniques used in specialty programs, the treatment of eating disorders comes through as an artful skill. The book reveals what it is really like to disengage patients with anorexia nervosa from their fixation on their body and to engage them in relationships. With its observations and insights, this book will enlighten all who care for people with eating disorders." (Regina C. Casper, M.D., Professor, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University Medical Center)

"Here′s an outstanding ′in the trenches′ book for practitioners, written by erudite, articulate world–renowned eating disorders experts, filled with detailed case notes and very specific descriptions of treatment encounters. These blow–by–blow accounts are the closest thing you′ll get to actually sitting in on the therapy sessions and discussing the cases with clinicians." (Joel Yager, M. D., professor of psychiatry, director, residency education, University of California, Los Angeles)
