This review is from: Bulimarexia: The Binge/Purge Cycle (Paperback)
This book did not prove to be beneficila in helping me undestand my diseases. It made me feel helpless and esasperates. I do not recomend anybody to read this book. If anything it has allowed me to fall deeper into my eating disorder. The book did not present any clear fews on this issues. Every was in a shade of gray, when you deal with this issue you need to stick with black and white.
5.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Bulimarexia : The Binge/Purge Cycle (Hardcover)
Having been a patient of Marlene Boskind-White's, I will also say that I think that no one should read this book. I had a very difficult time with bulimia and Mrs. White's book made me feel worse about myself than I did before I ever saw her or read her book. Stay away from this book. I don't recommend it to anyone. I care about people who suffer through what I suffered. I have been doing great for 8 years now, no thanks to this book or it's author.
