Anorexia Unveiled,
By Paul Rhodes (New Albany, Indiana) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Counseling Those With Eating Disorders (Resources for Christian Counseling) (Hardcover)
My granddaughter is suffering from anorexia, an eating disorder that afflicts many young women and older female teans. The disorder is baffling because the lay person just cannot see any logic or reason for it. The normal reaction of the lay person is to simply try to browbeat, shame or otherwise impose "common sense" upon the afflicted person. I and her extended family who loved and cared about this beautiful, Christian young woman needed to know how to help her.A compassionate, caring Christian woman, lent me Dr. Raymond Vath's book, "Counseling Those With Eating Disorders" to read. His book pulls back the curtain of illogic and provides the reader with an explanation of the type of personality that seems to be most likely to be subject to the disorder, a discussion of the usual symptoms, and the probable causes for the onset of the disorder. It also suggests the approaches which are most effective in helping recovery to occur. Dr. Vath, who is a Psychiatrist, approaches the counseling of eating disorders from the perspective of a strong, working faith in the principles of Christian teaching. He speaks from a position of having counseled over a hundred patients in their recovery from anorexia. His book also deals in a lesser extent with bulemia, especially as it sometimes may be an adjunct of the recovering anorexic. Dr. Vath's book is very readable and insightful. I would recommend it for any person who has any family member or close acquaintance with the disorder. It is also a fairly short, small book (about 214 pages) and should be useful from both a professional viewpoint as well as for anyone else seeking knowledge of the subject.
