Purging disorder is characterized by vomiting or misuse of
laxatives or other medications, after normal food intake, to
control weight or shape. More than two million girls and women in
the US suffer from purging disorder, and nearly a half million boys
and men join them. But purging disorder's status as an "other"
eating disorder has left it invisible to all but those who
experience it firsthand. The Void Inside: Bringing Purging Disorder
to Light chronicles the growing recognition of purging disorder at
the turn of the millennium, reviews what science has taught us
about the illness, and explains the medical complications that
purging may bring. Pamela K. Keel, known for her work identifying
and naming purging disorder, presents irrefutable evidence that it
can no longer be considered a subset of better-known eating
disorders. She also provides helpful and accessible information on
assessment and treatment, and on what recovery looks like after a
diagnosis of purging disorder. Drawing on the stories and words of
those directly impacted by purging disorder, Keel illuminates how
the illness impacts the lives of real people to underscore the
severity of this hidden eating disorder, its chronicity, and the
need for greater awareness. The Void Inside is an essential
resource for accurate, scientifically-based information for those
with purging disorder, their friends and loved ones, health
professionals, educators, and anyone interested in knowing more
about this severe psychiatric illness.
