This book outlines new and positive ways of dealing with eating disorders for people living with eating disorders and their families.  A practical workbook written by someone who has lived with eating disorder, it provides advice and strategies to aid understanding and to help the reader to gain control of their illness. Anna Paterson leads the reader through easy-to-use therapeutic exercises, such as describing the pros and cons of an illness, writing a farewell letter to it, and using role-reversal scenarios to get a new perspective on their attitude to eating. She emphasizes the importance of taking things at your own pace and in the final section of the book provides a set of diet plans specifically designed for anorexics, bulimics and compulsive overeaters.  This book will be valued by people living with eating disorders and their families, and also the psychologists and psychotherapists, counsellors, health professionals and social workers who work with them.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49509797331217,"sku":"GOR002239888","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49631677677841,"sku":"GOR002207436","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1843103400.jpg?v=1751027803"},{"product_id":"anorexic-book-anna-paterson-9780952921523","title":"Anorexic","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49512004518161,"sku":"GOR001001988","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49615363571985,"sku":"GOR001021765","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0952921529.jpg?v=1751140676"},{"product_id":"running-on-empty-book-anna-paterson-9781873942949","title":"Running on Empty","description":"`I would recommend  Running on Empty to young people suspecting they or someone they know may have an eating disorder′ - Signpost    `The book is easy to read and deals with the issue of eating disorders in a matter of fact style, offering sensible advice′ - Educational Psychology in Practice      `A book to recommend to any young person to increase understanding, as well as to sufferers, their families and friends′ - Times Educational Supplement      WINNER OF  TES\/NASEN  BEST ACADEMIC BOOK  AWARD 2002      Running on Empty is a fictional work about three teenage girls who have some eating problems.
