Weight Wisdom by Kathleen Burns Kingsbury
In this powerful guide, Kingsbury and Williams equip readers with simple reflections, vignettes, and everyday analogies that they have successfully used with their own clients to counter destructive feelings and shatter distorted ideas of food and weight. Pithy and positive statements replace compulsive, perfectionist rules with new strategies to cope with blame, guilt, vulnerability, and self-criticism. Concrete activities help people with eating problems get off the scales, get in touch with their feelings, and make friends with their bodies. Written by experienced therapists who understand the needs and fears of people with eating problems, the book is a refreshing guide to lasting change and recovery."Thoughtfully designed to address both treatment and prevention of eating disorders..a reader-friendly and valuable resource for a broad range of individuals struggling with food and body concerns." -- Association for Eating Disorders Newsletter
"Weight Wisdom is a reader-friendly and valuable resource for a broad range of individuals struggling with food and body concerns. The authors have compiled a wealth of practical information and helpful strategies drawn from effective therapeutic interventions into short, encouraging affirmations." -- Book Review Corner, Academy of Eating Disorders
