More About the Author
Product Description
Review
"... clearly written, from a wealth of practical experience, and does indeed provide the sufferer with a 'survival kit' on the road to recovery. It can be recommended not only to sufferers, but to professionals dealing with these patients, and to family and friends who wish to become involved in the recovery process." - Anne Ward, Behaviour Research Therapy
"... an excellent book, and a model for self-help manuals. The basics of bulimia nervosa and other binge eating disorders are explained in clear and simple language." - Padma de Silva, Sexual and Marital Therapy
Product Description
Easy to read and illustrated with many real-life examples, this book addresses the specific problems faced on a daily basis by bulimia sufferers.
The only self-help programme that has been evaluated in a randomised controlled trial, it provides detailed step-by-step advice for dealing with this condition.
Unlike other less problem-oriented books currently available on the subject, this book concentrates on the key behaviour changes necessary for the sufferer to achieve a happier and more fulfilled life. Theory is closely interwoven with practice and the book draws together real problems and solutions experienced by hundreds of sufferers.

Format:Paperback
I am in recovery from bulimia and have used this book in my therapy sessions.It is very realistic but you have to be prepared to work hard and refer back to it often if you want to see results.I have had bulimia for 11 years and have tried many other self help books,this is the only one that has helped because it does not just focus on eating problems but also on psychological and life issues.However,it does work much better in the context of therapy or with a close friend who can help you through as the book itself recommends.

I have an eating disorder, and am really going to depend on this book when I hit recovery. I am so pleased I bought it! Step by step encouraging things to do, simple and effective steps, realistic information. Shows I am not alone and that others understand.

Format:Paperback
This book is easy to follow. You can either read it all in one go or dip into whenever you feel like it. I would suggest it to everyone who is trying to get help for an eating disorder and (as in my case) those who have received the help and are tentatively trying life out without the support of a counsellor anymore. It provides that bit of support when you're feeling wobbily and helps you to continue to move forward with the confidence that you aren't alone.

too lazy to do those practices
Excellent guide for a moderate sufferer, but for me it is not that easy to do those daily practices partly resulted from the eating disorder.I'm just too lazy.

Excellent- what more can i say
This book is really good for anyone who is trying to recover from an eating disorder especially from bulimia. It is very easy to read and understand and very easy to realte to.

A useful self-help book, good but not ground breaking.
As far as self-help books go, this is pretty good. Of course the book is only effective if the sufferer is actually ready for help, a fact which is acknowledged by it's... Read more
