5.0 out of 5 stars highly recommended, February 9, 2000

By	janice (Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Eating Disorder Sourcebook (Paperback)

This is an excellent source for those who already have some knowledge of eating disorders and want a more in depth look at the behaviors and histories often associated with them. For those who are new to the subject, I recommend Mary Pipher's book Hunger Pains.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent-Thoughtful-Useful, March 7, 2004

By	Kerry A. Lusignan (Northampton, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with eating disorders I found this book very helpful, it initiated into much of the important subject matter to be reflected on in treating these illnesses; and has since served as a useful guide worth rereading and reflecting on time and time again. I saw Carolyn speak at an eating disorders conference a year ago and her strong clinical background, her personal experience, her creativity and compassion come through as clearly in this book as they did in listening to her. I highly recommend it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless if you're searching for the "why"
This very thick book is full of detailed research, and chock full of studies, but completely devoid of answers to questions about why one submits to eating disorders. Read more
