Product description
Review
'Decades of clinical experience come to light in this plain-speaking self-help text for both sufferers and carers … the book is infused with hope for recovery provided the reader is prepared to dig-in and do the work necessary for a successful self-help journey.' Cindy Bulik, UNC Eating Disorders Program
'This excellent book is highly recommended for adult sufferers with eating disorders who wish to use a self-help guide for the first step, and hopefully the only step that will be necessary, in overcoming their eating problems.' James Mitchell, Neuropsychiatric Research Institute
'The writers communicate in a clear, direct, compassionate and honest voice, enriched by extensive clinical experience, that will help the reader to feel understood, to understand what maintains their eating disorder … this is a valuable resource for people with eating disorders considering change, for carers who feel lost, and for therapists who are seeking to help their clients build a foundation for enduring change.' Tracey Wade, Flinders University, Australia
'This is the long overdue book that adult sufferers of an eating disorder and their carers have been waiting for. It has been masterfully written from a wealth of practical experience and will without doubt become a mandatory resource. It surpasses any of the other self help guides in quality and scope and will ensure that those who read it are impelled to act.' Stephen Touyz, University of Sydney
'… an absolute must-have for anyone interested in learning how to successfully overcome an eating disorder … packed full of information on how a self-directed CBT approach can be very effective … I highly recommend it as a solid, science-based, self-help guide to beating an eating disorder … a book of inspiration and hope for all who choose to initiate change.' Doody's

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 June 2011We have been so pleased with this self-help book for ED sufferers. It was recommended by our therapist when we found we had to wait 10 weeks for an appointment (fortunately brought forward due to a cancellation). It was an enormous help when we were first in the process of accepting that my daughter had an ED and then trying to get information about what to do. She has used it since every day and it has helped so much with managing this illness and helping our family understand it.
I recommend it highly - and I have read quite a few books now, from highly academic tomes to lighter popularist works. This is the best we have found so far.
Can I make a plea here for anyone in any position of medical, political or educational strength? Eating disorders are on an epidemic scale amongst our young people. The suffering is indescribably yet there is no publicity, no education to speak of and very little consciousness of the severity and tragedy of this condition in the general public. In my opinion, the fashion industry, media and celeb publications and the cosmetics industry should be taxed at 10% extra to pay for the treatment and rehabilitation of the victims of what amounts to oppression. There needs to be an ED specialist in every college and university in the UK - there is a high preponderance of EDs in the student population. School children also need educating about this is PSE or similar classes. How many children have to die before society takes this seriously? It is tragic and my heart fails me to think of the suffering in other countries too. Can I also mention Beat the ED charity - these guys are amazing!
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 April 2024Really good to fill out as an exercise.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2018Excellent self-help guide. I am a practicing eating disorder practitioner and I use this book to inform my work with clients and also recommend it where appropriate.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 25 July 2015It is worth the money bought it for some else so don't know out contents
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 February 2015CBT so helpful
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 December 2012Although all the reviews in and about this book carefully mention general terms such as 'ED's or 'your eating disorder', the actual book intro text -visible in the sample - states specifically that it is offering help for those with anorexia or bullimia.
Apparently CBT treatment can be helpful for all ED's but this book may not resonate with you if you're wanting to change behaviour around compulsive eating or binge eating i.e. the overeating rather than undereating end of the ED spectrum.
- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 July 2013I am a Mother with a 22year old anorexic daughter.This is the first source of information I used to find information.I found everything I needed to know and now feel armed with the information I need to help my daughter,my family and myself tackle the disorder.It is a long book and initially some perseverance is required to understand what is being said.After a while it becomes clear with several underlying self help themes emerging.It will remain a. Wonderful resource for me to tap into.
