This important new book details a strategic and systemic model for
short-term therapy with adolescent sufferers of anorexia nervosa, a
psychopathology that seduces patients into starvation as doctors
and family look on with increasing desperation. Supported by the
successful treatment of hundreds of cases over the past 30 years,
the book is the culmination of a long-term intervention programme
developed at the Strategic Therapy Centre of Arezzo, Italy. It
begins by outlining the range of different eating disorders, before
identifying the specific characteristics that adolescents with
anorexia present. The variations of the pathology are then
discussed. Not all patients present with the same symptoms; some
sufferers over-exercise while others binge eat or self-harm.
Substance abuse is also common, either with diuretics or chemicals;
others self-induce vomiting. The therapeutic strategy will, of
course, differ for each patient. Accessibly written throughout, the
book concludes with two cases studies - complete with full
transcripts - which illustrate the therapeutic process that allowed
the patient to change their patterns of thinking, and the
accompanying behaviours. An insightful and invaluable work on this
vital topic, the book will be essential reading for any
professional working with adolescents presenting with anorexia, as
well as the families of sufferers.
