The Anorexic Experience - Softcover
Why does anorexia afflict so many women and girls? Why should a bright young woman suddenly drive herself to starvation? Now Marilyn Lawrence, a therapist with over twenty years' specialist experience, offers a clear, accessible and helpful guide to understanding and tackling this baffling illness. In this invaluable and practical handbook, she discusses how to recognise anorexia in yourself and others; the fallacy of the 'ideal weight'; what treatmnts are available, their strengths and weaknesses; how to resolve the conflicts that can underpin anorexia; and practical ways of helping yourself and others.
Now in its third edition, and fully revised and updated, this is an essential guide to recovering from an anorexic phase and taking the first vital step towards self-knowledge and confidence.
