This book on eating disorders will provide content related to issues such as diagnosis and treatment as well as looking at the relevance for such information in the South African context.

He has extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of eating disorders, having been the consultant in charge of the eating disorders unit at Tara Hospital for many years.
