Offers an account of the symptoms, causes and treatments of anorexia nervosa. This book covers the paradox of self-annihilation for self-preservation, the causes of anorexia, use and misuse of the Internet, attributes of the disease, and accompanying disorders. It discusses the therapies used to treat anorexia.
This second edition updates the 1983 work ("a gem"--Booklist) with a wealth of new information. The author, a therapist and recovered anorexic, draws upon her own experience and extensive research to produce a comprehensive account of the symptoms, causes and treatments of anorexia nervosa.

She illuminates the anorexic's paradox--self-annihilation in service of self-preservation--and the central task of recovery: development of a Self. The author addresses the origins and attributes of anorexia and accompanying disorders, the use and misuse of the Internet, and the concept of recovery. She addresses different therapies in detail, as well as therapies for families and interventions. A directory of organizations, a list of resources for information and referral, a bibliography and index are included.
