As someone who has read *many* books, both clinical and popular, on the subject of eating disorders, I often bemoan the fact that this wonderful book has now gone out of print. Through comparing eating disorders with the compulsive exercise phenomenon it provides insights into both in a manner that books on each topic alone never quite do.

Anyone interested in adding to their eating disorders library would be well advised to search out a used copy of this seemingly forgotten book, in that the insights provided go considerably beyond what is found in most books on the topic.

Those wishing to understand compulsive exercise will also find this book a wonderful place to begin, as the comparisons with eating disorders are equally instructive.

For those wishing insight into the combination of the two...once again, a great book on the subject.

As a result of it's novel approach, and it's accessable writing style, one of the more intriguing and thought provoking books on EDs / compulsive exercise out there.

HIGHLY recommended.
