This guide to 'self-help' has become highly valued by sufferers from anorexia nervosa, their families and their carers. It relates to Arthur Crisp's much praised text Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be, now in its third reprint. Many sufferers report that Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to Change has provided them with their first private opportunity to reconsider their position and future properly, and then to do more about them. Carers have found it particularly helpful as a joint tool in their work with patients, especially when used alongside the more recently published Anorexia Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and Secondary Care and the Patient's Log Book from the same centre.

This guide to 'self-help' has become highly valued by sufferers
from anorexia nervosa, their families and their carers. It relates
to Arthur Crisp's much praised text Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be,
now in its third reprint. Many sufferers report that Anorexia
Nervosa: The Wish to Change has provided them with their first
private opportunity to reconsider their position and future
properly, and then to do more about them. Carers have found it
particularly helpful as a joint tool in their work with patients,
especially when used alongside the more recently published Anorexia
Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and
Secondary Care and the Patient's Log Book from the same centre.
This new log book brings together the in-patient version originally
designed by Professor Arthur Crisp and Dr Kingsley Norton for use
by people undergoing treatment in the Anorexia Nervosa unit at
Atkinson Morley's Hospital, and the out-patient version published
by Professor Crisp in 1993. The latter has been used by those
attending the out-patient treatment program of St. George's
Hospital Medical School and the related Highly Specialist Services
section of Pathfinder Mental Health Services NHS Trust, and in
other centers in the UK.
The overall treatment program is presented in the author's classic
text" Anorexia Nervosa: Let Me Be," first published in 1980 and now
reprinted by Psychology Press.
"The Patient's Log Book" is intended for both initial in-patient
and out-patient use, as part of a clinically supervised treatment
program based on the "St George's" approach (outlined in "Anorexia
Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and
Secondary Care"). More than one copy may be needed through the
course of lengthy treatment.
We are delighted to publish this second edition of Anorexia
Nervosa: Guidelines for Assessment and Treatment in Primary and
Secondary Care, based on the first author's long-standing "St
George's" Approach, which has been so well received since it was
first published in 1994. The book aims to outline in a clear,
practical way, the minimal intervention necessary within primary
and secondary care settings if the psychopathology of this serious
and life-threatening illness is first to be identified and then
treated with some hope of success. This first attempt at a
time-limited and basic meaningful intervention involves concurrent
use by both patient and therapist (and also, to some extent, the
family) of the 'self-help' book Anorexia Nervosa: The Wish to
Change and the Patient's Log Book, and all three books can be
purchased as a package.
