Acclaim for Peggy Claude-Pierre's The Secret Language of Eating Disorders
"Peggy Claude-Pierre has gone beyond the surface of eating disorders to discover their true causes and then present a valid and healing path. In this extremely constructive book, she offers incredible insights into the mind of the sufferer and the myths of eating disorders." --Keith J. Karren, Ph.D., Department Chair, Health Sciences, Brigham Young University
"Peggy Claude-Pierre is a warrior--ferocious and relentless--whose work has rescued a decade of sufferers." --Edward Feller, M.D., F.A.C.P., Clinical Associate Professor of Medicine, Brown University School of Medicine
"Peggy Claude-Pierre has created a paradigm shift in the way we view and treat anorexia. Peggy has shifted the focus of care from that of controlling the symptoms of disordered eating to healing the negativity that would otherwise plague the individual for the rest of his or her life. I have developed the utmost respect for her, for I realize that she has translated the secret language of anorexia. Now it is up to us to use the knowledge she has revealed." --Daniel J. Smith, M.D.
"Peggy Claude-Pierre's work begins where attachment to the limiting obstacles of theory end. She has brought back from the dead many young lives the world deemed hopeless. . . . There are many who possess the title of 'doctor' who have never come close to her incredible example of the selfless healer." --Craig T. Pratt, M.D., Chief, Division of Addiction Medicine, Grant-Riverside Methodist Hospital

Sunny Sea Gold started fighting a binge eating disorder in her
teens. But most books on the topic were aimed at older women, women
she had a hard time relating to. Calling on top psychiatrists,
nutritionists, and fitness experts, Sunny offers real advice to a
new generation fighting an age-old war. With humor and compassion
from someone who's seen it all, Food: The Good Girl's Drug is about
experiences shared by many women-whether they've been struggling
with compulsive overeating their whole lives, or have just admitted
to themselves, that yes, it's more than just a bad habit.
Increasing numbers of children and young people are presenting for
treatment of an eating disorder, but there are many different types
and they are often confused, making it difficult to know what
support to offer. This easy-to-read guide presents all the vital
information on a range of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa,
bulimia nervosa, selective eating, and avoidant and restrictive
intake disorders. Each eating disorder is clearly defined, making
it easy to draw distinctions between them. The book covers their
origins, characteristics and typical development, letting teachers
and parents know what signs to look out for. There is practical
advice on how to help young people, strategies for overcoming
common difficulties, as well as information on available
treatments. Vignettes feature throughout to help teachers and
parents apply knowledge to real-life situations. This is an
essential resource for teachers and parents of children and young
people with eating disorders.
The majority of individuals with eating disorders also experience
symptoms of anxiety, depression, post-traumatic reactions, and/or
obsessive-compulsive disorders. Most research-supported treatments
for eating disorders, however, do not integrate interventions for
these co-occurring conditions in a unified way. The Renfrew Unified
Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity was developed to
help people who struggle with any type of eating disorder as well
as intense emotions like anxiety, sadness, anger, and guilt. Eating
disorders include symptoms such as efforts to restrict eating,
binge eating or overeating, and compulsive or unhealthy efforts to
lose weight, alongside strong, distressing feelings about the
importance of shape, weight, or eating control. The goal of this
Workbook, which is designed to accompany the companion Therapist
Guide, is to help people overcome their individual eating and
emotional issues using a common set of scientifically tested tools.
The steps and exercises in this book are intended to help readers
identify and better understand how eating and emotional issues
interact, to address some of the core thoughts and behaviors that
underpin both eating and emotional disorders, and to develop new
flexibility and capacity in areas of life that have been affected.
The strategies included in this book are based on common principles
found in existing empirically supported psychological treatments,
and have been extensively tested in research studies. The research
to support these interventions is included in the companion
Therapist Guide.
