'In this short book, he sets out the case against the
trivialisation and relative neglect of eating disorders in general
and builds the case that in particular a substantial number of
people, mainly with chronic Anorexia Nervosa, have disorders that
are, by any rational standard, both severe and enduring. The book
describes the problems of such people and how they may be
approached and at least ameliorated. It is sensible, lively, useful
and thought-provoking. All clinicians involved with eating
disorders should read it.
--Professor Bob Palmer, Psychiatry, University of
Leicester
"In an era of therapeutic optimism and belief in the healing
powers of brief psychological therapies, the plight of people with
severe and enduring eating disorders remains a neglected topic.
Drawing on parallels and differences to other severe mental
disorders, this unique book provides a sound and practical
framework for working with these patients. Thoughtful,
compassionate, easy-to-read, and imbued with the author's
considerable clinical wisdom and research knowledge, this book
fills an important gap."
