It's Not Your Fault: Overcoming Anorexia and Bulimia Through Biopsychiatry (Plume)

Finally, some good news about eating disorders! For the millions of Americans who suffer from the mystifying starvation and binge disorders known as anorexia and bulimia, Russell Marx, M.D., offers a revolutionary new treatment approach directed to both sufferers and their families.

With knowledge and compassion that come from years of experience, "It's Not Your Fault" defines these disorders, identifies those people who are at special risk, lists the warning signs, explores their causes and answers questions that everyone has about eating disorders.
