Eating Disorders

by Professor Pamela K Keel

In a society like ours that stresses the importance of being thin, many people--especially young women--develop eating disorders as they struggle to match an unrealistic physical idea. Eating Disorders explores such eating disorders as anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa, discussing their causes and treatments.

This book was very imformational and helpful to girls an boys to really understand what eating disorders are. It is straight to the point about different kinds of eating disorders but it is lengthy with not many pictures. I liked how they included real life stories of girls and boys who have experiencedn eating disorders and the story of them over coming it.

So sad. No person should be so preoccupied with food that they starve or purge themselves.
