Eating disorders

This collection of essays by psychotherapists who specialize in the treatment of anorexia nervosa and bulimia explains in accessible and humane terms how the treatment process works and demonstrates working strategies that lead to recovery. This distinctive book is written for physicians, nutritionists, nurses, and psychotherapists and for their patients and families. Ten professionals from medical and psychological fields discuss their views and experience with patients who suffer from eating disorders. Some write about particular aspects that interest them, and others about how they see their role, countertransference in relation to their own lives and histories, and particular cases in various stages of progress. Accessible to general readers.
