Summary

Carolyn Costin is one of the nation'¬"s leading eating disorder therapists, whose courageous stand that therapist self-disclosure of an eating disorder is key to helping patients heal has helped revolutionize treatment of these disorders. Here she has teamed with one of her former patients to write a book that provides not only the keys to recovery but also a rare glimpse into how the process works from the inside. Readers will benefit from the techniques, suggestions, and assignments in the book, which include motivation, food, finding a healthy voice, and reaching out to others. The authors bring self-disclosure to a level not yet seen in an eating disorder book and offer hope to readers that full recovery is possible.
