Hope with Eating Disorders 2nd Edition A self-help guide for parents, carers & friends of sufferers

Hope with Eating Disorders (second edition) updates Lynn Crilly’s guide first published in 2012, reflecting how eating disorders are now more widely recognised and how treatment and attitudes have developed. The book retains a warm, non-judgemental and family-friendly approach, while expanding its scope to include more recently recognised eating disorders.

This edition reviews and revises a broad range of treatment options, covering both mainstream and alternative approaches, and considers the impact of social and technological change, including the role of social media for good and ill. It also adds new case histories to illustrate key issues, with research references and statistics reviewed and updated. Men’s eating disorders are addressed by contributing author Dr Russell Delderfield.
