Unusually for a book on anorexia nervosa this book

Includes:: sections for parents & other carers alongside a section for the sufferer herself. So often books have been written which only give one perspective. In her work with patients & families Janet Treasure has tried to ensure that family & professionals collaborate & co-operate in order to overcome the power of the illness. Many families have used & commented on various versions of this book & have helped to form its content. Experiences & problems have been shared & solutions generated.

Readers are therefore encouraged to use this book as a tool box rather than a new engine & to ask the questions Is this part relevant for me? Can I use it? Shall I try it? rather than trying to fit it all into place & expecting it to run smoothly.
