When anorexia nervosa strikes an individual & her family everyone is thrown into confusion by the mixture of emotions that emerge. One of the strongest is fear. The fear arises partially because so much is unknown. What has caused this to happen? What will happen now? What can we do about it? This book is an attempt to answer some of these questions. 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. Anorexia nervosa is a difficult illness to experience & write about because it spans such an extreme range of severity & it can also develop in childhood & adulthood. Nevertheless there is much common ground throughout the range. 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.
