Praise for the first edition:
..."this thoroughly researched and very detailed book provides the
serious student of eating disorders with a great deal of useful and
constructive information...it provides a complete picture of the
individual sufferer's dilemma and notes the wide-ranging
behavioural patterns that can occur in these conditions...The
authors have made extensive use of their own experiences {of
helping people recover} which help to illustrate their findings in
a most straightforward and enlightening manner." - British Review
of Bulimia and Anorexia Nervosa
"This brilliant book helped me and my family to see that the
illness is so much more than an effort to control weight. Sharing
the book could also provide you with an excellent channel of
communication." - The Guardian
..."many therapists would benefit from reading this book. If more
helpers treated their patients with the authors' degree of empathy
and integrity, treatment of anorexia nervosa would take a huge step
forward." - Society for the Advancement of Research into Anorexia
..."a detailed and comprehensive guide to theories of causation,
intervention and therapy. It discusses methods of treatment, help,
and self-motivation in this demanding field of psychology, medicine
and counselling." - Nursing Textbook Review
This new edition continues the outstanding tradition of excellence
for which Duker and Slade's Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia: How to
Help is internationally recognised. Updated to meet contemporary
concerns, this book is a 'must' for anyone who wants to do
something practical about anorexia nervosa/bulimia.
Its unique contribution is the now widely acknowledged whirlpool
theory whichunifies the physiological and psychological aspects of
the illness. This provides much needed alternatives for the helpers
who are all too often drawn into coercing the sufferer to eat,
which is psychologically destructive, or ignoring the physical
aspects of the problem which can be dangerous. It also offers a
basis for resolving continuing medical and legal dilemmas. To
illustrate their approach, the authors draw extensively on their
own research and many years of experience providing effective
therapy. There is no other book that attends in such detail to the
minute steps involved in leaving an anorexic/bulimic lifestyle
behind.
As incidence of all forms of the illness continues to increase,
this new edition is more relevant than ever.
