Inhaltsangabe

Thoroughly revised and updated with the latest research and methodologies, the fourth edition of the classic guide written specifically for parents, friends, and caregivers of individuals with eating disorders.

For more than thirty years,
this classic guide has been an essential resource for the “silent
sufferers”—those affected by a loved one’s eating disorder. This revised
edition put family and friends at the center of the treatment process,
providing the latest information on the methods and practices available to
facilitate the recovery process.

Surviving
an Eating Disorder is the first book for family and friends to use
a psychological perspective to understand eating disorders. Other treatment
manuals or self-help books propose change but Surviving is the first to
consider why change can be so hard for everyone involved. The factors that can
hinder progress are discussed and the methods that can work are emphasized.
Illustrated with case examples, this fourth edition explains the latest
treatments and provides the necessary tools to carefully evaluate what can be
most effective for each reader’s individual care. The authors offer concrete
advice and support, urging readers to care for both themselves and their
relationships as they support their loved ones struggling with food and eating
issues.

With its combination of
information, insight, and practical strategies, Surviving an Eating Disorder
considers crisis as opportunity—a time for the possibility of hope and change
for everyone involved.
