Disappointing
By London reader - August 16, 2004I found this poorly written as well as patronising and insensitive. The authors seem to treat readers as if they are stupid - it has the tone of a textbook for school children. It is very much in the style of psychcologist lecturing mentally ill patient. There is a poor level of detail - issues are glossed over with no attention given to exceptions or complexity -just primary level basics. The worst aspect of the book is its complete insensitivity to the feelings of eating disorder sufferers. For one thing, there is a weight chart right at the start of the book, which in itself focuses attention on losing weight rather than being healthy. This weight chart actually is not accurate, at least, it does not follow the BMI chart - it recommends a maximum weight lower than a BMI of 25. I found this pretty shocking. The advice given to anyone with a BMI over 24 is quite unkind, basically it says if this is you, turn to the chapter called 'Jack Spratt's Wife' (ie fat people) which has been... read more
I've converted from being a self help cynic
By A Customer - May 9, 1999This book is decent in the way that it helps you to gain perspective and look at your eating problems from bizarre (and sometimes helpful) angles. The authors clearly understand the eating disordered person very well, which is also a bonus. The book is filled with small steps towards recovery, including several 'tasks' to help you analyse and help yourself. Obviously, not every single exercise helps everyone, but even I found plenty to tackle. I honestly recommend this book to anyone with bulimia or binge eating - it's straight talking, sensitive and guides you through without expecting too much.
I'm offended by the title
By A Customer - September 30, 1999As a sufferer of anorexia I must share my disgust with the title of this book. Once again, it implies via the title that EATING will cure our anorexia. The anorexic community is fed up with 'therapists' who actually believe we will be all better if only we EAT. Oh excuse me, what was I thinking? Yes of course, how stupid of me, I just need to EAT - thank you for pointing that out to me. GOOD GRIEF. Eating has virtually nothing to do with anorexia. It's NOT about eating. It's about control issues. Not eating is just a symptom. When will the health providers (what a joke) ever figure out what we all know so well about anorexia. I'd never buy this book based on it's insensitive title.
