Anorexia Nervosa by A H Crisp
The theme of this text is the enduring relationship of anorexia nervosa to the unfolding of puberty.
The book is not only a concise introduction for therapists, doctors and nurses interested in anorexia nervosa; it is also accessible - through the avoidance of medical and psychological jargon - to anorectics and their familiesWithout making the process seem easy, Crisp's writing is pervaded by optimism (backed by treatment outcome data) and a respect for the patient's struggle. The book is a most useful addition to the literature. - British Journal of Medical Psychology
