Hope with Eating Disorders
By Lynn Crilly
SYNOPSIS
When we discuss eating disorders, there’s a tendency to focus on the
sufferer. Yet there are millions of concerned parents, carers, friends and
relatives throughout the world who are confused and frustrated - Both by their
own personal circumstances, and by the abundance of potentially misleading
information that is out there. Hope with Eating Disorders is a must-read for
anyone concerned about a loved one with food
or body issues.
Hope with Eating Disorders is a uniquely optimistic and informative guide,
in times when the outlook on health and body image can seem increasingly
bleak. It first offers real understanding of the mind-set of someone with an
eating disorder or body confidence issue. It then provides an extensive, easily
comprehensible and unbiased description of the various treatments available.
The book emphasises that eating disorders can affect anyone, regardless
of age, gender, race or social background. It does not apportion blame, but
offers practical solutions. Lynn Crilly
Hope with Eating Disorders features interviews with some of the World’s leading experts in the field. It also features celebrity
interviews, giving a crucial insight into the pressures faced by a sector of society who are often blamed for body insecurities.
Most importantly, however, Hope with Eating Disorders sends the message that real, full and lasting recovery is possible,
despite what we are so often told.
From body confidence concerns, overeating, compulsive exercise, diet pill addiction, issues arising from professional or
amateur sports, anorexia or bulimia, if you are concerned about a friend, relative or colleague, this book will answer the
frequently asked question - What can I do?
