Synopsis

Struggling to help someone you love as they battle an eating disorder? This book will arm you with the knowledge, understanding and skills you need to be able to help your loved one towards recovery.

Dr Macdonald has personal experience of the effects that an eating disorder can have on the entire family and strongly believes that carers and parents are a crucial element to the recovery process.
