A wealth of knowledge collated into one accessible text, this is a comprehensive exploration of an age-old area of human suffering. Working with the challenges presented to individuals and their support networks, the authors have structured the text into manageable chapters that include illustrations of case studies and reflection points.

Morrissey and Oberlin's 12 stand-alone yet connected chapters provide solid knowledge and food for thought about theories and experiences of eating disorders and their treatment. It shines a refreshing and much needed spotlight on recovery, beyond symptomatic improvement, so that the entire person is seen in the treatment process.
