Though published 2 decades ago, the information is still relevant for not only the clinician who sees the anorectic and bulimic client but also for those who are in the midst of recovering from an eating disorder and those who are walking the road to recovery alongside the patient. This will remain a staple on my bookshelf throughout my years of practice.

An excellent and important book that offers vast clinical and nutritional expertise on eating disorders. Boskind-White describes bulimia and anorexia as learned behaviours not as a disease, which allows the patient to take full responsibility for his/her recovery. Coping skills and personal accounts are described at length. An interesting view on prescribed medications and their efficacy (or inefficacy) is also detailed.
